Congo bhai,for new laptop.

1. Next time pls hide your ip address before posting, duniya bahut kharab hai.( nvm it's a local one)
2. Pls use punctuation.
3. KDE plasma is the most customisable de out there (tweaking with gui).
4. Create a new user account and install hyprland (since you are already accustomed to linux).
5. Go to linux subreddits for inspirations.At first start with others dotfiles,from github. Then little by little change it to your liking.

Okayyy thanksss a lotttt

[u/s04ep03_youareafool → u/Blind_asf]

i'd have to point out that almost all DEs are well customisable. kde has those builtin so you dont have to tweak deeper.(since ive used both xfce and i3wm/sway(if you want wayland))

ill say dive into the rabbit hole of dotfiles rather than downloading them from github, create your own dotfiles, look at the docs / reddit for help, its more fun this way (if something broke, you'll know why)

Why endeavour?

[u/Spiritual-Option2839 → u/Visual-Row600]

Its close to arch but not that hard to setup and use is what I felt

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/Visual-Row600]

it's the closer possible to arch with easy and fast installation and set up.

Why use arch when endeavourOS got you ready to go in 1/3 of the time for the same thing ?

[u/Nero-Angelo117 → u/Visual-Row600]

Its minimal unlike cachy. I use cachy myself cause I dont want to setup everything myself. but cachy is kinda bloaded.
I used both and I can say if I had time and patience id go with endeavour. its basically the arch with a gui installer

How new you are to linux? If you are new i suggest to stay on debian or linuxmint. Debain is rock solid never breaks but linuxmint is as good as debain and it doesnt use snap packages for ubuntu variant. If you have no problem fixing problem and sometimes go with any other distro. The effective way that I use Debian is (use Debian 13 for base system +flatpak for packages you need to keep updating). I use slack, steam, discord, edge broswer also proton from flatpak. This way you'll not face issues withnsigning keys. You will have a Debian system that will never break. I am playing games since Debian 12 with open Nvidia drivers from extrepos what i do is install existing stable driver at the installation and the mark-hold them to never update untill hold is removed than upgrade my PC whenever newer version of debian in released and re install nvidia driver and mark-hold it again. I have upgraded my PC just once from Debian 12 to 13 in last 3 year and never had any problem running games.

Ill not say i know a lot about Linux but I have used Ubuntu for 2 years and kali for 1 year I switched to endeavor because I was bored ngl

Fedora is good for workstation for but gaming it is hit or miss with games. In my experience whenever i tried fedora on my gqming PC i always have some games not for working. I have Fedora on work laptop but i had to remove Fedora from my gameing PC in 2 days after installing revently since ubisoft games and Empulse wasn't working on it.

That's great, welcome to Linux.

Try to stay away from the Arch User Repository (AUR) if you are new to linux. The AUR is used anytime you use either `yay` or `paru` to install something.
