    I like Endeavor. But it isn’t right for a new user.

    Here is butnone example: on most user friendly distros, connecting to share and other computers on their network is easy.

    In endeavor it is not shipped with samba. Yet the desktop environments have icons to browse the network.

    Now you and I know you simply add the smb packages you want, write a conf file and it will work.

    But a new person doesn’t know that. Or how to do that.

    And that is just one example.

      Ah, well I usually just share with cloud drive services like I did on Windows. Soom food for thought though.

      But regardless of what distro they use, they’re probably going to have to Google stuff every now and then. If they’re not ready for that, then maybe they’re not ready for Linux.

      I switched a few months ago, and EndeavorOS is the only distro I’ve used and see no reason to switch. It’s been fantastic.
