Thanks Xecure and masinick very much for the insight.
I did myself try a few and do understand it seems not straightforward to make them work…
Thanks and Regards…
Each desktop is distinctive and has its own behavior; it takes a while to get familiar with the ones that differ significantly from what you are used to using.
I usually can “figure them out”, but like anyone, I become familiar with certain things and to change isn’t automatic. I do, however, run quite a few distributions; one of the recent ones I have tried this month is Endeavor OS; it’s derived from Arch Linux. Unlike Arch Linux, which is quite compact unless you fill it up with software, the default setup really isn’t “there”; you make of it what you learn and put into it. In contrast, Manjaro and Endeavor OS are derived from Arch, but they both include configurations that you can work with. I found Endeavor OS to be immediately usable.
To complete the analogy though, it is a lot different than antiX and it takes some “getting used to it” – familiarization. If you haven’t previously experimented with many other systems, their package managers, desktop environments, and other conventions, it can be a steep learning curve.
