I’ve been using fedora but I would like to try something new and I think about arch linux but I don’t know if it’s good for gaming. What do you think?

    Is there a Arch with Installer that delivers this as Standart for rollbacks? I use Fedora Silverblue thats really great but only in my Laptop.

      Garuda Linux has a setup where you can even boot into the snapshots from GRUB, but it is a little more bloated than EndeavourOS and I feel like it’s also less stable. Still definitely worth a try.

      Yes, Manjaro. It will set everything up for you if you choose btrfs for the root partition. It will take snapshots before every upgrade and you will find them in a Grub submenu.

      Obligatory disclaimer, Manjaro is a super-opinionated and customized Arch derivative, to the point some people don’t consider it Arch. It uses the Arch binary packages but delays and curates them into a “stable” branch which doesn’t exist on Arch. It basically requires you to stick to this stable branch, to use a LTS kernel, to install drivers through their driver manager etc.

      Personally I like it because I like the idea of a rolling distro with a safety net, and it’s been working great for me over the last 4 years (daily driver for work and gaming). But it’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
