Hi everyone, looking to make the switch from windows. I’m reasonably technically apt but not a programmer by any means. I’ve been doing some homework on which distro I would like to use and pop_os kinda feels like the right direction. I’m running an Nvidia 3060TI on a Ryzen 5600 chip set on an Asus tuf motherboard. Any other distros I should be looking at, and does somebody have a link for a comprehensive guide to installing? I’m looking to continue running windows on the side until such a time as I am comfortable enough with linux that I don’t need it.

    Does endeavoros automatically generate BTRFS snapshots before every update? If not, do not use Arch.

    A broken system sucks. Use Fedora or Opensuse.

      I had to look that up. Never became an issue for me on any distro. How do you get a broken system when updating? Does it really happen that often? I might just have been lucky.

        It happens sometimes. Same as with security, you dont realize it until you would have needed it

          I back up my homedir and data with regular tools. I am trying to come up with a reason why my whole system might need one. 95% of that is basically the standard stuff.

          I guess I believe that backups and file systems should be separate things.
