Basically, I have a 2014 computer with 4 GB of RAM, and I’m wondering whether to use Arch, EndeavourOS, or openSUSE. I really want to try Rice and use Hyprland, but that will be my second distro. The computer is a secondary one, so it’s no big deal if it breaks.
I would go with Arch and i3. Dont use archinstall. Do it the hard way and you will learn alot about linux.
True, but not things you will use day to day. With such a little machine, I would go with EndeavourOS with i3 or sway and build it up from there.
I also recommend EndeavourOS. But maybe instead i3 or sway, Qtile is also a good alternative for everyone who knows and wants to do it in Python.
i found sway to be more performant than i3 on my core 2 duo machine, though tbf i prefer the default config of i3
