What do you like about your Linux Distro?
I use Fedora 38, it's stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

I might as well ask here:
Im running arch on my Desktop. Mostly just to Experiment a bit, nothing to serious, Laptop is ubuntu, and both are dualboot with Windows for Gaming (nvdia gpu in both).
The Main reason to use arch was to play around with Windows Managers like hyprland. However I get the feeling that some stuff is simply missing and or configured wrong on the System.
Is it a better idea to start with something like endeavor with sway and start ricing from there?
Ubuntu usually provides you with system working out of the box. Same goes for Fedora and its spins. Arch is DIY distribution, which means that the "missing" stuff you have to install/configure yourself.
archinstallgives you just a basic start.If you don't know your way around bare window managers, then yeah, it would be a good idea to try with things preconfigured: EndeavourOS should give you that, Fedora Sway spin also.
Or you could bite the bullet and try to provide the missing things yourself and learn in the process. What are you missing?
Its more among the lines of "oh shit, this should probably work" but does not work. For example copy and pasting, some audio stuff. It just feels like a lot and i often feel like im just bruteforcing until something works well enough until it doesnt.
I like most of it, but some stuff just feels very time consuming, just to get basic features working. I want some of that, but some basic comforts would be nice.
both are dualboot with Windows for Gaming (nvdia gpu in both).
If you don't mind the question, what games do you play? Have you tried gaming on Linux at all? Gaming works really REALLY good nowadays.
Indie games ive tried work well, which is pretty good. A big factor for using windows is Gamepass and my slow internet, where it is more convenient to play the downloaded games under windows.
Other than that its a bit of sim racing in/and VR. Im also doing a bit of CAD Stuff with Fusion 360 and my experience with Free CAD wasnt very good.
Most of this is probably a simple getting used to it process, but so far dualbooting works quite well.
