This is definitely not a Shitpost. Pick a Linux distro and advertise it for me.

(wanted something else than Ubuntu or Mint for my laptop that BinBos destroyed)

Arch Linux using arch repositories and aur only with no flatpak or snap on Gnome Desktop pamac for software store

we have tested most major distros on several hardware setups and arch uses the least amount of resources hands down and is able to be installed on dual core using the same install script as our ryzen 7 4k arch linux media desktop Arch uses the least resources and you choose what software store to use or not use and what packages you want to populate your system with

Need a package but in a different flavor either with patches or maybe an older or newer version etcetera the aur repositories more than likely will have what you are searching for such as mutter-dynamic-buffering or a reverse engineered port of Space Cadet Pinball With Arch Linux the World is Yours

In our experience arch has been the easiest to install albeit not a traditional install Arch Linux OS is a container full of Legos you get to pick from and choose how and what to build like Yes, reading is involved but at the end of the install you will have a better understanding of operating systems both Linux, Microsoft, Unix, or any of them and why it is important to you as a user Other distros choose for you and leave no explanation

As long as the hardware requirements were met for the games Arch has been able to run it even newest of games Some games do require a separate run script to play but most custom run scripts are already available somewhere on the web for download

All operating systems have pros and cons but at least with Arch Linux at the helm you can be sure your voyages will be full of adventure and exploration

Arch has the best package management to be sure. For a "Daily Driver" setup, I'd recommend EndeavourOS. It's basically Arch with much easier setup, some useful tools (that you can choose to use or not), and very well set up for a daily use PC out of the gate. I've used both. Arch is nice, but EndeavourOS is what I run on my "Daily Driver" PC.
