I recently switched from windows to endevouros with kde plasma as my default DE
i liked actually, so many options/features. endless customisation.. thousands of themes, and widgets from kde store.

but it felt like I'm just spending more time to tune it for me, instead of actually using it.

no doubt Kde plasma is great, but a beginner like me doesn't belong there yet.

I thought lets try Gnome once.

I switched to Gnome, and suddenly my desktop feels smoother than kde.

even though it lacked many features of customization I didn't feel anything missing that will stop me from using it.

all of the apps are in one place, gestures work smoothly, and it also uses less ram than kde plasma.

what do you think of this??

let me know.

I just finished setting up my Surface Pro 5 and wanted to share why EndeavourOS is the absolute best choice for this hardware right now.

1. Wi-Fi Works Out of the Box: The biggest headache with Surface devices is the Marvell AVASTAR wireless chip. While most installers leave you stranded without internet, the EndeavourOS installer detected my Wi-Fi immediately. No Ethernet adapters or phone tethering required for the install.

2. Smooth systemd-boot Integration: Choosing  systemd-boot  during the install makes managing the  linux-surface  kernel a breeze. It’s light, fast, and handles the kernel entries perfectly without the bloat of GRUB.

3. The Perfect GNOME Tablet: Endeavour’s clean GNOME implementation paired with the Surface hardware feels like a premium Linux tablet. Touch gestures, on-screen keyboard, and rotation work flawlessly once the Surface kernel is added.

4. Community Repos: Adding the  linux-surface  repo is a 2-minute job on Arch-based systems, giving you full multi-touch and pen support almost instantly.

If you have an old Surface Pro 5 lying around, stop distro hopping and just put Endeavour on it. It’s the most "it just works" experience I've had on this device.

Laser CD Ripper is a gnome app. I installed it and built it from source, but it does not see the drive I am using. Is anyone else having this problem? There is an issue open about this, and I just wanted to ask it in the distro just in case you guys had a better idea, since everyone else seems to not have any problems.

Thanks!
