Not secretly, no.

Which distro would you install on a celeron 2gb ram laptop for a lay person to use? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 29 points 8 months ago (4 children)

To be honest, I wouldn't on a 2Gb laptop. It'll run Linux just fine but the minute you use a browser or office suite you'll have memory problems.

Can't install any of the KDE software from discover in c/linux@lemmy.ml

You shouldn't use discover for anything other than flatpaks on Arch because it doesn't allow manual intervention which is sometimes required on Arch. It can even leave you with an unbootable system.

I just use konsole. It comes with plasma and is more than good enough for me.

Linux suggestion in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's basically Arch with a familiar installer and an extra repo for their system maintenance tools. Also the community is friendlier.

EndeavourOS is Arch with an installer and a few utilities. You can install offline and it will use KDE or you can install online and choose KDE. The major difference is whether you need to update after installing.
