I recently dual-booted Windows 11 and EndeavorOS, and I'm curious to know how Linux, and specifically EndeavorOS, stacks up against Windows 11. In what aspects does it shine, and where might it fall short?

The term "better" is pretty subjective when it comes to operating systems. It really depends on what you want to do. For instance, if you're into gaming or using specific Adobe programs, Windows might win that battle. But if you're developing software or prefer an OS that respects your freedom, Linux has that covered. So think about what fits your use case best!
EndeavorOS is lightweight and super customizable. You can really tweak it to fit your needs, unlike Windows which feels a bit more rigid in that department. However, if you're looking for something that's more plug-and-play, you might find some distros like Manjaro to be more user-friendly.
Good point! I think the customization is definitely a huge draw for many people.
One of the biggest perks of Linux is that it gives you full ownership of your system. Unlike Windows, which often feels like SaaS that's always watching you, Linux lets you decide how you want to run your machine. The downside? If something goes wrong, it’s on you to fix it. But you also get to choose your updates and how your desktop looks. Just remember, it can be a little tricky if you’re new to the terminal stuff!
Totally agree! It’s all about personal choice with Linux. But if you don’t mind a bit of a learning curve, it can really pay off.
If you're new to Linux, EndeavorOS can be a steep learning curve. What motivated you to dual boot? If you're just starting out, maybe consider a distro that's more beginner-friendly. Also, running a command like 'inxi -Fx' can help the community give you more tailored advice on your setup!
I appreciate the tips! I was really just tired of Windows and wanted to explore alternatives, but I might need something a bit easier to start.
Exactly! It's all about figuring out what works for you. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
