I'm thinking of giving up before I've even started to properly use it. My friend is giving me their brother's old PC (don't get me wrong I'm 100% grateful) but it would need expensive upgrades to make it compatible with windows 11 and to get the license, so them being into linux, they wanted to get me to try it.
I downloaded a vm on my laptop and we tried to install Arch just to get me used to it, but for some reason hyprland just would not open and then we tried Endeavour (which was telling me it detects something that I don't even have on this device so it refused to do anything) which also didn't work. Also tried Cachy and no dice
My friend kept on saying how they never had any problems when they did the same thing, and I know I did everything right because I was sharing my screen to them on a discord call.
So we sat in a discord call for three hours and couldn't get the stupid thing to work. And Linux is meant to be 'easier'. easier my ass.
Edit: A lot of people are suggesting Fedora and Mint so I'll have to relay to my friend that Arch and Hyprland wasn't the way to go
