    Distro swapping is a rite of passage. The grass is always greener. Until you settle and stopped caring about the OS at all. Which is why I went back to Windows (7 at the time) mainly for gaming compatibility.

    Proton got me hnnng tho I'll definitely be giving either Endeavor or OpenSuse a go when I build my next computer. Rolling distro sounds like a "set it and forget it" thing and I like that.

    Installing a new distro feels so good to me, makes me happy. I love messing with the settings and stuff, trying a new desktop environment messing with the native apps. Man I love it.

    I'm using OpenSuse's Gecko with rolling release. It's beautiful.

    New distro smell hahah exactly, that's perfect.

    Yeah but BTW on Arch the grass is always evergreener.

    Been trying out EndeavourOS in a VM for a bit. Might be my next home if I don't fall back to good Ol Reliable Debian.

    I'd say EndeavorOS is the way to go. So far I haven't had nearly as many issues as I had with Manjaro

    I started with Arch and loved it but just recently switched to openSUSE and it might be even better.

    Garuda linux. I'm running the dragonized gaming distro and have fallen in love with it. A buddy turned me on to it a few months back and it's perfect. Runs all my steam games through proton like a champ.

    Check Nobara. Fedora based, tweaked specifically for gaming.

    I got everything working great in Fedora with Proton, even my nvidia drivers. Then, a buddy had an idea that we all get and play MWII, which can not run in proton, now I'm back to windows

    This is where keeping a pocket Windows dual boot is handy. Probably kept just big enough for two games tops.
