  • You probably won’t be able to run an LTS kernel on a brand new PC that just hit the market. But using the most recent kernel for arch or a derivative like endevorOS should work after like a week maximum.

    I did have an issue like this on Ubuntu and its what made me actually start distro hopping since it worked fine on fedora and Arch using the latest kernels.

    I’ve not had an issue with arch yet besies once like 4 years ago when I rebooted during a Nvidia driver update which was my own fault.

    The goal is to introduce new Linux users both to the possible options and to proper documentation so that they can learn and help themselves.

    Honestly, I wish I had started on arch instead of Ubuntu.



  • A new linux user will break their system. Thats part of the learning process. The queation is will they have the resources needed to fix it or will they be forced to reinstall.

    These are the reasons i would sugest anyone to use an arch based distro like endevoros.

    1. They only break if you dont update or you do something dumb
    2. If the os breaks, or you need help with something, you have the best help resource avalible, the arch wiki. Along with a very large and often knoledgeable comunity. If you need help with ubuntu or a derivative distro, you often must serach the forum which have a lot of incorrect or outdated information.
    3. Its easy to find packages on the avalible repos including the aur. No searching for ppas to install the packages you need to actaully switch off of windows.

    The most imporant thing a new linux user should know about, is how many options they have with linux. This is linux’s greatest strength and it is not a one size fits all solution. Arch and its derivatives are great examples of this.

    Also, i recomend new users use a multiboot with multiple distros and testing for themselfs.

    Many people suggest popOS for a new linux user which is based on ubuntu which in turn is based on debian. I never tried popOS but i found ubuntu hard to get packages or find help with when i was first learning.

    I would recomend endeavourOS which is based on arch. In arch, its very easy to get packages and and find help since you can use the aur and the arch wiki . But it might require using the terminal a bit more than PopOS. Dont let that intimidate you however, the terminal is actually not hard to learn and many tools guide you through using it.

    Both are better than windows and i would recomend you try them both on your machine. Just download the live image ISOs to a usb that has ventoy installed. Throw some other distros on there too like nobara just to round out your testing.

    Then you can always install it on an old computer (even one that windows dosent work well on) or a spare hdd/ssd while testing until you are ready to leave windows for good.

    I recommend EndeavorOS now to everyone that actually wants to learn linux, or people that don’t want to be “fighting” their os.

    It works enough to not have to do anything to it besides update, including installing nvidia drivers. And it’s arch based so they can just read the arch wiki if they have questions.

    Honestly the only issue ive had with it is one of apps not working on wayland so i just had to switch to x11.

    Its a little less noob friendly than manjaro (they had great guis that make it so you never need to open a terminal at all) but i cant recommend manjaro anymore since they dont support the latest version of pacman.

    As far as an os that’s close to enterprise servers, if they aren’t contanerizing the workloads and running k8s on a distroless (or atleast minimal) base image then i don’t want to work there anyway.


  • In TBD, it’s not a “release” until its production ready. The methodology and philosophy doesn’t prevent you from developing multiple feature branches at once or even deploying a work in progress feature branch to a dev environment.

    All TBD requires in that case is once the feature branch is production ready, it’s merged to the trunk. You may need to add a feature toggle if there are multiple release like for different architectures. And you also might benefit from using git tags and deploying to production from a git tag instead of the most recent commit on a branch.

    Exactly what you need to do is going to depend on the project’s exact needs but TBD is totally possible in that example.
