Help me find a fitting distro

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!

  • NixOS can become quite complex, so maybe stay away from it until you know more about how to manage your system ;)

    The other options you've mentioned here are good, but EndeavourOS is based on Arch, so that may be contradictory to what you've said earlier.

    • From what I understood, while Endeavour is Arch-based, it has a more forgiving installation/learning curve(?)
