Endeavour OS because once you go rolling you can never go back.

You should have basic maintenance knowledge like checking tyre pressure and the fluid levels in your car.

By doing it all for them, you are perpetuating the learned helplessness encouraged by Microsoft and Apple over the last few decades and doing them no favours at all.

Consider what they would do if you were unavailable to help them.

The best way to help a non-enthusiast Linux user is teach them basic system maintenance.

I think people can use what they want as their wallpaper

I did actual work on openSUSE Tumbleweed for nearly eight years. It was completely reliable. Now I do actual work on Endeavour OS and so far it has been completely reliable. It has far exceeded my expectations.

The lunatics are in charge of the asylum

Maybe there's a service pack?

Well, that really makes a difference!

I only get a couple of problems.

  • A panel that wraps content is sized to one icon when logging in for the first time
  • Plasma Shell occasionally crashes and restarts

But then, I'm not running a stock plasma, I have a few add-ons compiled from source and a few widgets downloaded from the get new things. One of those could be causing the crash but I haven't proved that yet. I'm fairly sure the panel is a plasma bug.

Edit: Oh and sorting pinned icons in the icons only taskbar is a real pain in wayland.

Edit 2: It seems the sorting has been fixed since I last did it ~~and I haven't had the crash since the last plasma update~~

You're messing with partitions which means there is the potential for data loss, be it hardware, human error, or a random cat. You should, if the data is important to you, have a backup.
