Hello everyone! Right now I use Apple mainly but I do have experience with Ubuntu Studio. I’m migrating back and forth but I feel the hard switch is coming. I’ve just found that Ubuntu Studio throws problems left and right with audio production, but I have great luck with gaming.

So I kinda want to start over and Endeavor seems cool. Would I be able to use Endeavor/Arch for both making music AND gaming?

For what it’s worth, I use live recording and plugins for my music.

I use Garuda for gaming. It's Arch but built on the Zen kernel. It comes with drivers and stuff automatically for gaming, and it has Snapper for BRTFS snapshots, which automatically creates rollback points for you to restore to if any given update fails.

Endeavour is alright and I used it for a while but I like Garuda if we're sticking with Arch.

My desktop runs Fedora because I wanted a more stable environment than a rolling release, but it runs just as well as Garuda did with less worrying about bleeding edge updates breaking something.

Everything that matters for gaming is generally handled between Steam with Proton and both Nvidia and AMD have Linux drivers that are updated frequently with their own repositories for most distros.

I’ll check out Geruda and see if I like it. I looked at Fedora, just don’t know if I’m ready for Wayland yet

Wayland's been stable enough for me with a 3090 and a 1650ti, but "it works on my machine" is always the worst thing to hear.

Garuda in x11 is good. Ran all my games at a good level, and in some cases better than Windows did because of the lack of bloat and BS.
