So I installed EndeavourOS ... - eviltoast

… 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’ve been using endeavouros for about a year now, and if things stay as they are I’ll never be switching. Like you said it just sits right for some reason. Easy installed and everything just works, all my games run great on it as well. I use the zen kernel but I dont think its mandatory.

    Biggest advice I can give is set up timeshift…like now. Its a huge safety net and will let you play with things with out worrying

        Is this like nix with extra steps?

        Kidding, but sounds interesting if I ever want to venture away from nix

      Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely check it out. I’ve killed my Raspberry Pi twice due to bash typos, so with this being my main system I want to be extra careful.
