  • Thanks for the comparison. It seems RX 6600 seems the most suitable option since the second hand prices for 5700 and 6600 are quite close. Probably GTX 1080 can compensate most of it.

    Well, currently I’ll have to switch the AUR driver and will have to stick to it for a while until I find a good candidate. I would expect them to make it at least legacy driver so we don’t have to hoop around though. It’s not usually like this but this is a big change (thanks Nvidia) and Arch team made a big change too, so usual update would break my system it would seem.













  • Of course it depends on the person but what I was trying to refer were non tech-savvy people. If you want to learn Linux wholeheartedly, Arch or Gentoo are perfect for the job, even LFS I would say. However for non tech-savvy people the distro should rely on GUI as much as possible I think, and it shouldn’t have the danger that it might get broken after an update, even if it’s a small thing and easily repairable by veteran users.



  • While I’m a happy EndeavourOS user, I don’t think Arch-based distros are for beginners, even if they work perfect, which they are most of the time. The problem is the most part. Because a beginner can’t fix a problem, even a simple one if they have no idea about Linux. It doesn’t have problems often, but even one time is enough for beginners and it’s a deal breaker.
