This is the most cursed word sequence I have read this month. My oppinions aside. Glad you like it so far. I would recommend looking things up on the archwiki pretty much regardless of the distro.
Unironic, I had the idea of using Edge, mainly because on W11 it was running better than Firefox. Thought decided to give Firefox another go and see if I’m satisfied.
Oracle is this priest who will try to convert you to christianity when you are in a hospital on your deathbed.
Oracle has been part of the Linux community for 25 years. Our goal has remained the same over all those years: help make Linux the best server operating system for everyone, freely available to all, with high-quality, low-cost support provided to those who need it.
Fuck you
We want to emphasize to Linux developers, Linux customers, and Linux distributors that Oracle is committed to Linux freedom. Oracle makes the following promise: as long as Oracle distributes Linux, Oracle will make the binaries and source code for that distribution publicly and freely available. Furthermore, Oracle welcomes downstream distributions of every kind, community and commercial. We are happy to work with distributors to ease that process, work together on the content of Oracle Linux, and ensure Oracle software products are certified on your distribution.
Oracle is one of the biggest personal data broker out there. Fuck you
By the way, if you are a Linux developer who disagrees with IBM’s actions and you believe in Linux freedom the way we do, we are hiring.
The russian army is hiring too.
Finally, to IBM, here’s a big idea for you. You say that you don’t want to pay all those RHEL developers? Here’s how you can save money: just pull from us. Become a downstream distributor of Oracle Linux. We will happily take on the burden.
Devour each others please. Thank you and fuck you.

Mint for my desktop, SteamOS on Deck. Both do what I need, and the only issues I've run into since switching have been random things like GOG not having an updated Planescape Torment build that works out of the box. I don't play many online competitive games with like invasive anti-cheat stuff, so I haven't run into a ton of compatibility issues.
You can use ubuntu, debian, or a few other live distros with "persistence" which is relatively easy to configure. This is neat because live versions usually come with cool features like auto configuration of devices and displays. You can even create a persistence boot of live isos on ventoy, which is honestly what I'd recommend.
I ran Windowmaker as my primary WM for many years back in the day. now I run KDE, but as a holdover I want the primary taskbar vertical rather than horizontal. GSDE is somewhat interesting for that reason but I doubt I'll actually install it for quite some time yet, I've got comfy with KDE
For this in particular, look into setting up NetworkManager to do the openvpn configuration, it has that functionality built in. Otherwise, systemd unit file
I don’t use open VPN so I don’t know for sure, but I think you’re right as the best way to go. Pretty sure I recall Network Manager having an option to set a vpn to be always on when a network connection is made and an option to save credentials.
Richard Brown is one of the most unsung heroes of the Linux world. SUSEs velocity for getting security patches released has always been impressive and the way Brown always works with the community at every step is testament to SUSE’s success.
For such an old system, your DE matters more than anything. I’d recommend XFCE, or even LXQT. Definitely upgrade your RAM though, that’ll give it a nice boost - DDR3 should be pretty cheap now. Any cheap SSD should be a big improvement as well.
I’ve got Zorin installed on my mum’s PC (which is just as old as yours), and it works really well, even on a regular HDD.
I disagree, try running KDE on a 4th Gen i3 and compare it vs a modern system, the performance difference is pretty night-and-day. It’s not exactly unusable or anything, but it just doesn’t feel snappy and responsive, when compared to a lightweight DE on the same hardware.
I'm not super familiar with Endeavour but are you sure your graphics card drivers are installed correctly? Looks like Endeavour gives you a command line program called Nvidia installer. You can also usually run "nvidia-smi" in terminal normally to check if they're working.
Also, are you on a laptop that uses integrated graphics? Maybe try switching to your dedicated NVidia graphics card.
And I'm seeing that Endeavour lets you choose which desktop environment you run, try switching to another desktop environment like Gnome or Cinnamon.
Looks like you might be able to select which video card takes priority in the Nvidia Control Panel which you should be able to get to by running "nvidia-settings" in the command line.
Also, are you on a laptop that uses integrated graphics?
No, it's a normal desktop PC
I'm seeing that Endeavour lets you choose which desktop environment you run, try switching to another desktop environment like Gnome or Cinnamon.
It let's you choose which desktop install during the OS installation. If you install multiple desktops enviroments you can choose which one to run with most distros, is not a special feature of EndeavourOS or anything, most distros, if not all, can do it
Try purging your graphics driver. I think Arch based distros use pacman and I'm more familiar with apt so I'm not sure how to do that. Purge the driver and the configurations and try installing the 525 version of the driver and see if that fixes anything.
