… 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.
I don’t use Endeavor or Arch (btw), but KDE Plasma is amazing. I’d probably be happy with any distro as long as it supported plasma.
Is it like Manjaro without the bloat?
A major difference is Manjaro has its own repos which has a tendency to break AUR packages, while EndeavourOS uses the normal Arch repos. Endeavour is pretty much just pre-configured Arch so it bypasses a lot of the issues with security and stability that Manhjaro suffers from.
IMO I still think people should just use vanilla Arch so they can customize everything to the fullest but EndeavourOS is a decent option.
Oh nice! I like Arch because of AUR, but I’m too lazy to go through the setup again, so I’ll definitely try this.
