... 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.
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.
Since EndeavourOS is only just over a dozen packages on top of Arch, it would be a challenge to find documentation for Arch that does not also apply to EndeavourOS as well ( beyond the initial install ).
The only EndeavourOS specific issue I can think of is that you may need to update the EndevourOS-keyring package before doing a system update if it has been a really long time since the last one. This would be when you have to update the archlinux-keyring package as well so even then the Arch docs get you most of the way there.
