Honestly go for EnOS. Garuda is neat and has a good default setup, but they've gone a little far with their modifications imo

Honestly go for EnOS.

Is that the whole name? Because searching shows YenOS, EndeavorOS, EventOS, EndlessOS and one ENOS based off Xubuntu (a single 2020 mention for a 0.4 version)

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

EnOS is generally EndeavorOS

Oh? I'm still a Linux noob, educate me.

I just don't like their candy design that much and it's effort to undo post-installation

I assume you are taking about desktop environment stuff? I installed the xfce version and it's been pretty streamlined.

Well, I'm talking about their pre-installed software and custom theming

That's fair, but as a Linux beginner, I was happy to have more software than I needed at the start rather than not enough. If you know what you are doing, I could see how you could have a different opinion.

There is a lite version, but sure whatever you prefer.

Yeah, but it's still more work to remove KDE and things... EnOS has an installer that allows you to cherry-pick your preferred packages
