My son always has his phone at school. Given how America is I wouldn’t send him to school without a way to get a hold of me.

I’ve gone back and forth with Garuda and Endeavor. Currently I’m on Endeavor and everything is pretty good, I definitely had a better time gaming with Garuda though.

Its honestly very usable. Touch has some weirdness and I haven’t gotten it working on my device but its one of the laptops not the tablets so I don’t really care for touch. Look through the Table of Supported Features that OP linked to make sure whatever device you plan to pick up supports everything or is at least being worked on.

I’m currently running EndeavorOS on my Surface Laptop 4. I’ll admit it was a pain to get working right, especially since I have the amd model, but damn once it’s working its so nice.

I don’t think I can use peertube. It’s just not as good and it’s way harder to host video content server wise. I just use a privacy respecting front end for YouTube. Everything else I’m on board with.
