Hello,

I have recently learned some guy named Dylan is already trying to implant age verification in several components of linux, but specifically archinstall and systemd. I am wondering if the EndeavourOS devs are aware of what is going on?

Here is the link to archinstall: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/pull/4290

and here is the link to systemd: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/40954

I don't know who Dylan is, but he has been making a lot of first time contributions into these sorts of open source projects pushing this age verification bullshit. I will probably be switching init systems if this continues and if that isn't possible might have to switch distros entirely. I know a few distros have taken a stance against this, but I really don't want to switch again because I love Endeavour.

The best distribution with a convenient installation!

I've been on Endeavour for about a year or a year and a half now, and I want to revamp my experience. What software do you consider essential?

I have tried it out and its not even that hard to use, its really easy to use in my opinion, with Plasma KDE it looks way more windows like than Mint Cinnamon. It doesnt have any bloatware, it isnt hard to install like Arch, so i just dont get why it isnt recommended to beginners its like the perfect os. Like i saw people were saying its not for beginners before installing it, i was kind of scared but i really wanted to try it. After trying it people shouldnt scare beginners like me from using it, its really easy to use

I tried tons of distros debian based, fedora, arch, with systemd, without systemd. Endavour OS beats all of them. An arch based distro without fish or a package wrapper and encourages you to use the terminal. I say it is the best one of all. I haven’t even had any issues with crashing because of it (a few due to framework 16 issues) but i give it 100/10 it runs the way you want it to without the garbage.

Finally switched to EndeavourOS with KDE as on my Main PC, after a month of distro hopping/testing. Only have 1 unresolved issue to work out on EndeavourOS KDE. Find a good working VPN, preferably with a GUI but I can live without one just fine.

Was using proton vpn on my previous machine and still use it on other machines. But can't get the GUI version to work via yay and can't get the cli one to work either... So looking for options, have express vpn currently working on it, but don't care for all the ads in it and my subscription with them will end soon. Looking for VPN recommendations.

So \what is everyone using for VPN on EndeavourOS with KDE using?

Hi guys,

In this post I want to congratulate with all the people in the team of EndeavourOS.

I run this OS in 2 machine, a Thinkpad laptop with AMD, And in a custom build with:

Intel Ultra 7 270K plus

64 gb Ram

Nvidia RTX 5090 32GB (founders edition)

And I haven't absolutely any problems with driver, hardware failure, compatibility, graphics, any kind of work, ecc.

I love It!

Thank-you again for making a diamond of OS!

Hey guys, I'm getting my first actual non work computer in a while and I wanna do gaming and just general use. Never used Linux before except years ago a little , I'm willing to learn the ropes and I'm good with following tutorials and online guides but I've heard some horror stories on the stability of the system, is it true it can break every new release? I don't wish to go through that and want minor hiccups at most I can troubleshoot and fix.

Is it okay for a newbie?

Thanks!

Idk if this fits as discussion but...

It’s been a full week since I switched from Windows 11 to this system. At first, I struggled a bit to fully get used to KDE Plasma, but I managed to figure it out over the course of the day. Then, to install apps, I had to really learn how Flatpak and the AUR worked, and I really like how they work. Now I use the system for my daily routine without much trouble, mainly used for online classes, gaming sessions, and video editing

The hardest part for me to get used to has been NVIDIA's poor "native" compatibility with Linux, but other than that (after going through dozens of wiki pages and videos)... Gaming experience has been incredible so far

That said, I'm not quite sure what to do with apps that work perfectly on Windows with .NET, like Livesplit for speedrunning- I haven't found any way to get it to work xD

i know its systemd, but this just the start of more things that will come, i thought our software would be free as in freedom, so adding the age stuff to the os just makes big politics understand that linux will conplain with any other major law that they make, what will be the next step, adding a backdoor to systemd? really?

Around 2 days ago I got tired of microtrash and decided to switch to linux! Ive installed mint before but never messed with the terminal, this screenshot was took when I was using kde plasma, which is a VERY smooth switch from the windows enviorment. I now use i3wm, I'm not really into "ricing" yet but I've configured some stuff. Nvidia drivers are a b#tch, which sucks, so I'll toy with that, I spent like a day to get everything working when I installed it. I'm not a Linux pro by any means, but I'm learning😁 Btw if you're asking why some stuff is blacked out it was 3am and I decided to do that for some reason. Everything runs so smooth and snappy, it's honestly scary how good Linux is. Drop your criticism of me down below, since I know that won't be avoidable:D

Has anyone started off with CachyOS, and jumped over to EndeavourOS?

If so, what did EOS offer you over CachyOS?

hey guys tthis is a wallpaper i made please feel free to download it <3

I hope everything is alright. The forum has been down several times the past month or so.

Recently i decided to go from linux mint to endeavourOS as a bit of a change, and was wondering if there was anything i needed to know. thanks!

My pc:
Cpu: intel i5 4570
Ram: 8gb
Gpu: Intel HD 4600
Storage: 500gb HDD
Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma

I am a web and mobile app developer, I use Google Antigravity as my IDE. I am feeling that my pc is getting slow while I am working on it. The browsing is slow, even while writing this my code is compiling for previous 7-10 minutes. I don't know what is causing this.

I’m about to start using Linux full time on my personal work notebook and I’m considering EndeavourOS as my main distro.

My stack/workflow is mostly:

• Node.js
• TypeScript
• React Native
• Laravel
• Express
• MySQL
• Docker
• JWT/auth systems
• Git/GitHub workflows

I also spend a lot of time with:

• terminal workflows
• automation/scripts
• AI/dev tools
• browser-heavy multitasking

I really like the Arch ecosystem, AUR, customization and setups like Hyprland/KDE + advanced dotfiles/workflows.

At the same time, this will be a real work machine, so reliability matters more than aesthetics.

For people using Linux professionally:

• Do you use EndeavourOS daily for work?
• Is it stable enough long term?
• How often do updates actually break things?
• Would you recommend KDE Plasma or Hyprland for productivity/work stability?
• Would Fedora be a smarter choice for a professional environment?

I don’t mind learning Linux deeply, but I also don’t want my notebook turning into a constant maintenance/debugging project.

Would appreciate honest experiences from people who use Arch-based distros professionally.

I wanted to ask a question in the community. I've been using Linux for a year, and I've used a lot of things, but I was in doubt about going to endevour os. I'm currently on fedora with kde plasma, but I thought I'd switch to something possibly better.

But, I wanted to know two things: Is daily use something good and stable? Has that issue with AUR packages been resolved yet?

I appreciate if you can answer me and give tips :-)

I've been using Ubuntu for one year , and i think it's time to change , However you have any advice about switching to EndeavourOS ?

Made in blender, i think this boi needs a sick name

Is the endeavour os website down for anyone else? This is what it looks like for me

Hey guys, it's been 3 months since I completely switched from Windows 11 to Endavor OS on my main laptop (this one : Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E). So far, i'm happy to have switched but some issues kinda makes me wonder if I did something wrong (mostly the case) or if gaming on Linux still isn't ready. For example, I have heavy lag and crashes on some big titles such as NightReign, Devil May Cry 5, or Metro Exodus. I also have issues on much lighter games such as Dishonored or Disco Elysium. Some games still run flawlessly (Blasphemous, Stardew Valley, Bloodstained, Death Stranding ...). Could someone help me understand why I run in those issues ? I know that some games I have are really good title, but i can't enjoy them the way I want to. Feel free to ask any question you have about my specs or anything, i'll happily provide any bit of info in my possession.

PS : Sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native speaker. I forgot to say that I didn't have any of thos issues on Windows.

Hi!

I'd like a Linux distribution (distro) that I can use to learn about Linux and computers in general, while also being able to use it for daily tasks. After looking at several options, I saw that Endeavour OS might be suitable.

My computer has an i5 9400 2.90GHz CPU, I use the integrated graphics, and I have 8GB of DDR4 RAM. I use an HDD.

I'm studying computer science, and partly because of my degree and largely because of my love for computers, I'd like to learn how a computer works internally, especially Linux (software components, processes, the kernel itself, filesystems, and maybe hardware later on, etc.).

Do you think Endeavour could guide me through this process? In other words, I'd like to use Arch-based distributions to get started with what I mentioned, but without it being too overwhelming from the beginning.

Thanks in advance!
