  • You can always try out their free Tier.

    While you get limited bandwidth it’s really okayish for normal use. Do not try to connect over a peer2peer connection, it’s disabled in the free tier and your connection goes "Wooosh! *

    I’m very Happy with their free tier, I even route my mobile’s traffic through the same VPN connection with wireguard and some iptables.

  • Same here :) switch from a 2 day Manjaro testing into EndeavourOS without the hassel of native Arch install.

    Manjaro looks like a really good distro from the outside, but heard a few strange things about that specific distro I didn’t like at all. Also they messed with the boot up logo, add their personal bookmarks in new firefox install…

    Had a really strange feeling about that non-authorized intrusive installation. I’m no expert so I won’t rant over Manjaro, but my moto says to always follow your guts !


  • I only gave GNOME a try… so by default I would say KDE Plasma?

    Gnome is probably a good choice if you like MacOS’ ecosystem and design (maybe also those having touch screens??). But personally I totally hated it… Can’t even right click and create a folder/document by default… uggh gives me MacOS PTSD…

    KDE plasma is more fitted for those looking for a “Windows” feeling and greater customization.

    My personal preference RN is XFCE on EndeavourOS ! Great design, simplicity, elegant, great defaults OOTB…



  • Thank you very much for your throughout and explanatory response !!! <3 I also read all the comments and I know what I will be doing !

    While I did like the well build defaults, I didn’t liked how they added their logo on boot up, even if it has nothing to do with logoFAIL exploit, It felt wrong (or does every distro does that?). Also the fact they added their own bookmarks in my freshly installed Firefox left me a bit skeptical… :/

    There’s probably nothing to be alarmed off but That doesn’t feel right… If they do that, what else could they add hidden in the distro normal people can’t see ?

    If I may ask, do you have any good distro you would recommend? Something as bare bone as possible, as good as debian but a bit more up to date. I do not fear some tinkering with a new distro but Arch is a bit to much of a hassle right now… That’s why I chose Manjaro.

    My second pick was EndeavourOS as daily drive, but the community is small compared to manjaro and it’s relatively new in the game. Any thoughts?

    Thank you !!
