I've been using arch exclusively for years now. Pacman and the wiki are just too good for me to go elsewhere. I've used Gnome and Kde both extensively and I just like Gnome more. Kde just has a lot of jank that doesn't make it feel like a modern system imo. Gnome is a much smoother experience. Both work perfect for gaming though. Just started experimenting with hyprland this week and I've been loving it. It has some weird stuff with running games, but that just might be user error. I have friends who swear by mint too which I haven't seen mentioned in this thread much.
I just got into hyprland. Installed some configs and just didn't like them so I'm starting from scratch and building my own. I dabbled some with eww and it made me reconsider my will to live. Is it worth learning or is waybar good enough?
Fez and Outer Wilds are both must experience games imo and have a really chill vibe.
I spent too long trying to figure out what the message was lmao
