> How likely am I to break my OS with EndeavourOS are there any things I should avoid?

The exact same chance Arch has to break something: so quite likely, as in, it's not a matter of IF, but a matter of WHEN. The exact WHEN being dependent on how unlucky you are.

I'm sure I'll get a dozen downvotes and replies from people saying they've been using Arch since the beginning of time and never had an issue, but a full update of EndevourOS left me without working sound. Not ideal considering I'm applying for jobs and need sound to work for interviews.

For that I need an OS that's 100% bulletproof, not something I need to read up tutorials, blogposts, newsletters, wikis, to learn how to manage, since I don't want another part time sys-admin job, I want something to JustWorks™ without any studies or maintenance.

For a secondary tinkering/learning machine it's a very nice OS since the documentation is also nice, but I would never daily drive it on a main machine that I use for earning a living.

Yup same, I was using it on my laptop that I fired up every 1 or 2 weeks and one update the bootloader broke so it was bye to Endeavor. I enjoyed it very much until then

Just curious; is there a distro you've found that fits the JustWorks™ requirements?

[Rinzler89]

I haven't tried to daily drive too many distros at home to draw any conclusion.

At work, Ubuntu was also a nightmare, OpenSUSE was pretty solid, and at home Windows never caused me any issues so I'll be sticking to that until I have more time to try out switching to Linux again, but I do like Nobara and TuxedoOS as JustWorks distros, though like I said, i never daily drove them do draw an conclusions

Windows never caused you issues? That's an incredibly bold statement. I had to switch off of Windows because it was nothing but issues.

How so? It's not a fact, it's just how my experience was. Just because you had a different experience doesn't mean my experience was wrong or false, because like I said it's just my experience and not a fact and therefore it can neither be right or wrong.

As a free man, I will stick to whatever tool gave me the least issues and avoid those that have. Simple.

>I had to switch off of Windows because it was nothing but issues.

Good for you man. Remember, this isn't a competition, the OS is just a tool like your hammer or drill, not a religion, so nobody cares what your personal OS choices are what your reasons for your choices are, as long as you're happy with what you use that's all that matter, just don't judge others for their choices and reasons.
