So back several months ago now, I’d switched off to EndeavourOS, with my own customized installation that EndeavourOS supports, adding in my own personal setup of BtrFS, Hibernation, snapshots, and defaults. Months later I’m still overall happy with this setup!
For whatever reason I’m getting few issues (not no issues mind you) that are easy to get around even needed. One such issue was a actually with Firestorm, a GUI client for Second Life that I use often, stopped working after updates to Mesa. With the power of DistroBox, and distrobox-assemble, I simply made a Ubuntu 24.04 “firestorm” box that could easily be recreated and utilized it to create my stable functional environment. Using the equivalent of a container as “an application” that just works. I’m actually quite proud of this!
I’m running EndeavourOS with the whole KDE Plasma on Wayland experience. I’ve got my desktop setup one way without hibernation. My tabtop setup with encryption, but still fully functional hibernation, encrypted swap and hibernation file. It’s all been rubbing rock solid. I’m using a mix oh chaotic-aur and paru building the test that’s not in chaotic-aur. Overall I’m thinking this is a very solid setup.
