Hello there!

After some lurking on r/Unixporn and its Discord, I'm more and more tempted to try Linux as a daily driver. While I'm by no means a pro, I've been using WSL at work the past year and generally I can fiddle around finding solutions when something doesn't work.

These being said, the main requirements I would have from a distro is to be able to run League of Legends (saw that it's pretty straight forward using Lutris) and not be insanely complex from the get-go (wouldn't want to jump straight into something like Arch), I intend to use something like Hyprland.

So far I am split between OpenSuse Tumbleweed, NixOS, Fedora and EndeavourOS, but would gladly hear alternatives.

LE: Read (and tried to reply to) most messages. I will come back with an update once I decide my pick and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

Hmm.. been a little while since I used it but always update your system with sudo zypper dup (dup is basically a distribution upgrade which each update of Tumbleweed counts as) and it doesn't come with Nvidia drivers out of the box so if you need those follow this:

And you can install a whole bunch of extra stuff not from the built in sources from the OBS (openSUSE Build Service) with something like opi:

That's just some things off the top of my head :)
