… and I absolutely love it.
After my previous post where I asked for advice on distros I have tried Mint and EndeavourOS first as VM’s and afterwards I gave them their own partition and tried it on my real hardware.
Something about EndeavourOS just sat right though and I promptly replaced my windows install with it. KDE Plasma also blows me away with the amount of customisation that is possible.
I’ve spent some time configuring today but mostly aesthetic stuff as my hardware worked 95% out of the box. Some odd dependencies were missing for steam to work properly but I’m really not missing anything that windows had right now.
I’m curious how my uni workflow will look like now, but I’m sure I can make it work.
Thanks a lot for the support and advice you’ve given me. I really love the community on here.
I’ll get back to customising my bash prompt now. 😄
Edit: Due to popular demand:
I use Arch, btw.
Yes, I was also very surprised. The userbase is surprisingly small, even though it runs quite well.
But if I wasn’t into IT, I’d probably have run into issues that I wouldn’t be able to fix. Just little things like proper directory permissions, ownership and such.
The lack of documentation is an issue, but in my experience the Arch wiki is good enough source for troubleshooting EndeavorOS issues.
Definitely. For now every fix that worked for Arch, also worked for me.
Well, EndeavourOS is just easy to install Arch. It is going to run as well as Arch runs ( pretty well ).
Arch tends to scare away novice users or those lacking in confidence and so EndeavourOS does too. If you are confident or elitist enough to be attracted to Arch, EndeavourOS may feel like a cop out. Or, you might believe that Arch is already easy enough to install ( especially now ).
I happen to think that EndeavourOS rocks. Welcome to the club. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
