Valve amended the Steam survey for December 2025 - Linux actually hit another all-time high https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/valve-amended-the-steam-survey-for-december-2025-linux-actually-hit-another-all-time-high/
I'm quite impressed how #EndeavourOS, despite not being glamorous or hyped up as some of the rest in the list - is doing quite well at ~2.12% of the #Linux #Steam users. Not that far off from something like #Bazzite (~5.89%) and is higher even than #Fedora, #Manjaro, and #PopOS.
EndeavourOS was the boat I chose when I decided to leave #Windows few years back, and it's still going strong. Despite #ArchLinux having a rep to 'break', my PC and all of my family members' have yet to go through such a thing lol. Its rep of being not user-friendly to noobs is also not that true seeing how a solution to a problem, if any, is often one search away from the incredibly documented Arch Wiki - better than relying on hundreds of conflicting information scattered through distros' forums.
I'm perfectly aware everyone's experience is unique to their own, esp with something as fragmented as Linux, but I'd be remiss not to mention that while my EndeavourOS experience has been flawless, I've had broken/borked systems with 2 #Debian/#Ubuntu based distros (not gonna name, names), Manjaro (Arch based, though some might not agree), and even Bazzite (Fedora based). These were with #Intel/#AMD systems too that's supposedly 'ideal', at least 2 of my EndeavourOS systems meanwhile have #NVIDIA GPUs (i.e. 'not ideal'). These were a couple of years ago tho before reaching my 'final distro', EndeavourOS tho so things may have improved for these distros too.
All in all, my point is, despite not being the glamorous, popular option... THANK YOU to the EndeavourOS team for clearly putting in a ton of work to ensure our (supposedly) broken-prone systems to keep running stably.
So #Manjaro was great until it wasn't (system upgrade fucked up video somehow).
Briefly tried #Arch and then noped the fuck out. I paid my dues in the mid 90s installing #Slackware from a stack of diskettes. GUI installers FTW!
Currently installing #EndeavourOS. Hoping this will work better than Manjaro.

I'll keep misusing #SocialMedia, for #BugReport issues! 😅
#Linux #VRR / #AdaptiveSync / #AMD #FreeSync, via #DisplayPort needs some work! This flickering is distracting, to put it mildly!🤬

After #Manjaro being a bit of a mess the last few months regarding updates and #KDE just being buggy on a rolling release distro, it was time to move my GF's laptop to #ArchLinux with a new desktop environment.
At first #XFCE looked fine as DE, but then the scaling caused some blurry fonts.
So we've tried out the new #Cosmic desktop by #System76 - and it's great so far!
Really impressed by the progress so far. Sure, some rough edges here and there, but good enough for daily usage!
#Introduction
Hey, everyone on the Fedi!
I'm Eli (pronounced as Ellie).
I'm an #enby from #Mexico and not new to the Fediverse, but haven't been around recently. I had an account at queer.party and, since that instance is gone now, I'm looking to find new connections, so feel free to follow if we share interests or recommend accounts to follow.
I'm #trans, #nonbinary, #genderflux, #agender, #maverique, #aromantic #demiaro, #polysexual, #toric, #enbian, and #polyamorous.
My pronouns are they/them, ze/hir and it/its, interchangeable.
I love all things #horror (mostly films) and am very fond of #80sHorror, you can check my Letterboxd out to see my reviews. My fave film is Chopping Mall (1986).
I usually don't watch shows now, I hate when they get cancelled and the story gets no proper ending, which happens a lot, but you can also find me at Serializd.
My reading list is predominantly #CrimeFiction (mainly Nordic) but I also like reading horror, #QueerRomance, and anything that piques my curiosity.
I'm some kind of a #geek and enjoy #FOSS, my main OS has been #LinuxMint for 5 years now, and I have an old laptop for distrohopping, currently using #Manjaro and #Debian. My secondary OS is #macOS.
I also happen to be a #language nerd, I speak #Swedish, #Catalan, and #French. Will mainly post in #English and #Spanish, though.
My favourite #music genre is #IndieRock, but I’d listen to anything, primarily more #indie genres.
My favourite band ever is #kent.
As of now, my favourite artists are: #cupcakKe, #DaltonDeschain, #SoporAeternus, #TwinTemple, #LaCasaAzul, #Enjambre, #Ginestà, #ElsAmicsDeLesArts, #PierreLapointe, #Остава…
My favourite animals are #cats, #spiders, #octopuses and #snails, but I don't have any pets.
#ASMR has helped me relax and fall asleep for +10 years now, so I may share some links every now and then.
I love #JigsawPuzzles and every once in a while I do some #puzzling.
