some thought about using Linux as "daily driver" and reinstalling another distro

I have been using Linux on my main machine for a while now though. It has been good as I formerly used Windows daily and see that everything I did made it bloater over time.

Currently at the time of writing I am using Pop!_OS. I grabbed the NVIDIA ISO as my laptop has a GTX 1050 card. It may sound not so ideal since it's a gaming laptop, it has Novideo card, and Windows is priortised to be running on such systems. But no, I don't suppose that. The fact that I'm still using it day-by-day and it's quite okay for me. Just the thing that many games fail to run on there, using Proton, a Wine version of Steam Play feature. Maybe some skill issues (lol jk).


But the more I use, the more it goes the same thing like on Windows I did, but the errors are wilder. Sometimes it suddenly hangs during kinda high task, I don't know but it never happens on Windows before. Probably swap full? But swap full would crash the whole system meanwhile the cursor still worked. Nothing won't help except a mandatory reboot.

I am thinking of reinstalling another distro to continue my daily usage with care for stability. And I stumbled across EndeavourOS. Actually I've been using this for several times since I used Windows; I installed it on my second disc drive as a sub-OS for my Linux tinkering. It's fairly worth to try again though.

Well, it's time to put it on first. That "i use Arch btw" moment.

That's all for now. I will write a review for it for a later time. Pop!_OS is actually excellent but some weird thing happened made me decide to reinstall another OS to check for issues.

kthxbye.
