Im a total child in terms oft Linux distros. Since im sick of Microsoft i decided to switch my gaming completely to Linux (Xbox to Tower with bazzite, switch to steamdeck). Im quite happy that i installed the distro by my self and found the place where i was able to change the keyboard layout. Because i want to play in my livingroom form the couch i got a bluetooth keyboard. The mouse i already have connected perfectly the keyboard didnt. I tried finding a solution online but soon realised that i have to learn to read the Linux lingo.

Can please someone teach me or point me in the right direction were i can learn the basics. Treat me like i know nothing about distros (because i dont) and PC (because i barely do).

This is also to try the Linux community. Show me what you got.

Edit: First of all, im very happy how this turned out. You people are very kind. I did manage to connect everything and got it running. Now i need to find out why dota 2 isnt running smothly.

Endeavour is explicitly not for new users

There is no such thing man. It just works really. But I am not trying to sell this distro, just saying that an immutable distro for a beginner is much more of a black box than any of the "advanced" distros people are afraid of. sure if you are luck and everything works with the immutable, awesome. if it doesn't? then you need the "advanced" stuff anyway. and by that I mean read some documentation.

While I'm a happy EndeavourOS user, I don't think Arch-based distros are for beginners, even if they work perfect, which they are most of the time. The problem is the most part. Because a beginner can't fix a problem, even a simple one if they have no idea about Linux. It doesn't have problems often, but even one time is enough for beginners and it's a deal breaker.

But is this any different than what is happening here with a supposedly beginner friendly gaming distro?

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

"Having a problem"-wise, probably not. However you most likely won't see immutable distro won't boot problem. This is not the case with Arch. To be fair, aside from gaming, I'm getting close to recommend more of the stable side of the distros to beginners, like LMDE or pure Debian.
