I've been using EndeavourOS since I started daily-ing linux almost 2 years ago. It's a great distro, I recommend using BTRFS and setting up snapshots. There can be problems that pop up rarely, (because it's arch) so it can be very handy to have a fall-back if you don't want to solve the problem right away. I also suggest installing the LTS kernel as a backup to boot into for the same reason.
Thanks for the fresh review, I've made the switch from Tumbleweed as snapper and btrfs were a performance nightmare and I'm impressed with the latest EndeavourOS KDE desktop.
EndeavourOS - my distro for daily use. I switched to Gnome, KDE (wayland) has a window bug and I haven‘t had time for a deep dive yet. Thx for the video!
I am still in a dualbooter stage where I am trying linux. I decided kUbuntu is hard to install and arch is slightly harder and debian is too old. So, I searched easy arch linux and ended up installing Manjaro which I hated then I decided to search easy arch again. This time installing endeavourOS. It is just nice.
Wouldn't touch Manjaro with a bargepole these days. Used to be a user years ago, but these days they make weird, destructive decisions that lead to users having broken installations etc. Smacks of an amateurly run ship. Not to mention their absolute disdain for their users, especially their earlier adopters... I've tried most distros by this stage, Pop, Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Debian, Solus etc, and I just keep coming back to EndeavourOS. It has a fantastic community, and unlike Manjaro, developers that care about and engage with them.
Been a 2 day EOS user, so far, snappy and gestures work great. I'll just have to learn how to install anything, cause I've been reading and it's so different than Debian based distros that the learning curve is flat at the x axis just now.
To install system packages i use yay So if i want steam do Yay steam then select the steam you want to install Or you can do yay -S steam to directly select the best one You can also install pamac gui manager by choosing the nosnap version which will include flatpak and aur, also chaotic aur if you install that And discover works with flatpak aswell if you want that
i tried linux mint first time but then i expirienced graphcical glitches soo i installed endeavourOS and it works perfectly fine, no glitches, only once my microphone disapeared and i didnt wanted try to fix it soo i re installed it and it works fine for my two days or more
Endeavor is is the 2nd best Arch based distro. And #1 is just real Arch. If you're installing on a dual-boot system with Windows, than Endeavor is more convenient, but if you're putting it on a dedicated system or VM, than the archinstall script is just as easy.. I like Endeavor better than Arco, Garuda or Manjaro, though.
Great video, as always! Hey I really like Flatpak. Do you noticed any Difference between Flatpak vs Repo gaming? Something like Steam? And I know you are almost exclusive to Steam (so am I) but whats your prefered way to install other Launchers? Heroic seems great to collect your free Epic Games and install GOG Games quick, but I also enjoy the whole concept behind bottles. And ofc there is Lutris. I mean Steam and Heroic seems like a great combo. Or Steam and Lutris? Idk ...
I try to use everything but my go to is steam, bottles for outside of steam, heroic for free epic games like you said. I might use glorious eggrolls upcoming game launcher aswell that he is currently working on github.com/Open-Wine-Components/ULWGL I dont see a difference between flatpak or system packages, i dont use flatpak steam because closing games requires you to close it on your taskbar instead of clicking close in your steam library, if this was fixed i would use flatpak steam as it gets mesa quicker usually then system mesa and its safer/more privacy friendly :)
@@linuxnext Nice cant wait for the Launcher! Hope you will cover it in the future. 😁 Thanks. I didn't know that. So Flatpak and system packages run a different mesa version? I noticed I'm on Mesa 23.2.1, is it possible that the Steam Flatpak will run a more recent version of Mesa? Because when I type "Mesa" in the software center, I can see a 23.3.2 version. But I don't get ... so it seems Mesa Flatpak and Mesa System are there... Sorry I'm pretty new to all of this, It's really confusing for me
@@OraOraOra yes flatpak will use a set of runtimes which include mesa and at the moment its mesa 23.3.3 in flatpak so you can use this even if your running older packages on your system, its also why people recommend you use debian stable and use flatpak, as the dependencies are separate from the system dependencies, same goes for immutable distros. So for example i use kde neon unstable and it has mesa 22 on its system but since im using flatpak steam ill get the latest mesa 23.3.3
reasonably new linux gamer here, you'll realistically want all of the above depending on your situation. If you happen to pirate games especially. But even if you don't some non-steam games just won't run in one launcher but run fine in another and the cost/benefit of trying to fix each game instead of just dealing with a reasonably large number of launchers is generally not worth it. If you don't pirate games then really all you'll need is steam + heroic or lutris
OK, to be slightly less facetious... 😉😂 Endeavour comes with most of the libraries you need to run the likes of Lutris, Steam etc out of the box. I remember when I used Vanilla Arch that I had to install dozens of libraries to get the likes of Lutris able to run World of Warcraft for example. EndeavourOS comes with those pre-installed, so installing Lutris then WoW is a much quicker experience.

I mean it has pamac store preinstalled, driver manager in settings so you can install different kernels or nvidia drivers, i guess if you want more apps preinstalled it has that going for it aswell as endeavour is a lot more barebones, like vanilla arch. they wait a week or so for package updates as that is more "secure" i guess

Well i could recommend some distros buuuut are you enjoying linux mint? Can you play and use all of the apps that you want or need? If so do you need to switch or do you want to switch to learn new things ?
There is no best gaming distro in my opinion, more which distro is best for what is preinstalled on the distro and how fast updates rollout for your hardware. For endeavour os the distro iv been using for around a month now, it might not be a good distro for a beginner as they wont have everything installed like nobara or other distros, i could install and continue using nobara but i like how endeavour os is pretty barebones, so i kinda get to pick and choose some packages, and kde plasma is stock on endeavour os while nobara has a skin which i wouldnt use. Nobara can be better for gaming in edge cases on amd or intel hardware as nobara uses mesa git for gaming while endeavour os uses the stable release of mesa, but you can install mesa git from the aur on arch distros like endeavour os so again what i said before there is no best or better distro for gaming, only a distro that has what you need and the updates you like and that is something you will have to figure out on your own

please don't use amdvlk, there's no use when mesa has vulkan-radeon which is far superior. if you install both, amdvlk is enforced which is not optimal.
I'm new to endeavourOS I've used ubuntu for few months but i am afraid that how I'm gonna fix a bug that may appear due to rolling release model.coukd you provide some guidance to me for learning endeavourOS and how to maintain system without breaking things and installing packages the right way
Well use the stable repos on arch for stability, dont use testing repos or staging or unstable repos unless you know what your doing and are sure everything is backed up before hand I use yay for updating and installing packages, if you're gonna install a aur package just make sure you know that if its a important system package that something could break, other then that rolling release cycle is pretty safe i would say, iv been on endeavour os for almost 2 months now and i have experienced a breakage from the official packages on the stable repos, so i wouldnt worry about it as much So you can either do yay in the terminal, you dont need to use sudo just yay and it will check for updates to install or pamac gui can do updates for you aswell, that will use pacman the traditional helper for installing and updating I also use yay -Yc this will check for unneeded depends so there are no conflicts with packages or just to clean up things if iv been doing a lot of testing If you wanna see when a package is ready you can go to archs website or if you wanna look at popular aur packages that is their too If you're using nvidia make sure you're using dkms so it rebuilds the kernel everytime there is an update
@@karanraval5046 im not the person to ask for that 😂, hyprland is supposed to be a almost perfect wm for wayland and for nvidia etc but i havent tried it fully
For me only shows to option in bootloader: grub and nobootloader. THe problem is: i try to install by grub and i get some error and cant install. ANy ideias why? I have a ssd and a HD. The HD has Windows, i guess ( ssd had it too, but i erased it).
Im very confused of how you have worded this lol The grub is what is supposed to come up on your bootloader, then you select the kernel to boot into endeavour os If you cant figure it out id recommend not using arch and instead something like bazzite or nobara may be up your alley :P So then you can figure out maybe what is actually happening and then retry later down the line
Sorry, English is not my first language, I was very tired and talking about stuff I really don't understand well. I used to have a SSD and a HD, both with Windows. When I started to install endeavour, it only appeared to me two options on the bootloader for me, instead of 3. Grub and Nobootloader. The installation was interrupted and I received a message that said the grub wasn't able to be installed. Don't know if it makes more sense now or if it changes anything. Yesterday I give it up and tried Linux Mint, that is was more familiarised and worked. Sadly, I don't like Mint , so I'll try again later. Anyway thanks for the response
@@thesupremeverdict6764 could be something to do with your bios maybe like secureboot or something else, im unsure aswell, i would definitely give fedora a try with kde plasma spin, pretty similar to endeavor os
hi man i already have nobara i want to switch to endavor without losing my data is there a guide you have for that or an easy way to do so, ty in andvace
after setting up this OS like this video all is ready to go?AMD drivers would always be latest on this just like Nobara?Or do I need to do anything else?I have all AMD system.I am ready to triple boot windows 11 nobara and this arch OS.Also is setting up chaotic AUR necessary?I generally prefer to use official repos in the pamac gui software manager.
It is not necessary to setup the chaotic aur, the chaotic aur is just a easier way of grabbing packages from the aur without needing to build it. Its just a personal preference
Hi, I am a newbie and still using Windows. My concern about moving to Linux is that it crashes. I heard a lot that it crashes and even after a system update it crashes. I would like to ask you: Is there a solid distribution that does not allow the user to tamper with the system, for example through the terminal or programs?
i guess what you're looking for is immutable distros like Vanilla OS, although i have no experience with them and can't tell you how good it is. you'd better go with the user-friendly distro like Mint or Zorin, just set up restore points with Timeshift, don't mess with files you don't know or understand and you should be absolutely fine
@@penguin2137 i was using vanilla os 2.0 beta and its amazing BUT i would recommend bazzite as thats what im currently using and its also amazing as it doesnt break, if it does you have about 3 other previous states made so you can go back easily but you dont loose anything on your home folder as its on its own separate partition. Pretty amazing
all/most distributions can achieve this, just don't give your standard user login accounts admin or sudo privileges. No need for the complexity of an immutable distro, just a basic graphical user account manager
Hi LinuxNext! I just tried to install EndeavourOS Gemini on my system with an Nvidia 3080, and after first boot I just get a black screen. I installed with all the defaults during the EndeavourOS install process. I don't even see systemd-boot, it just boots to nothing. Is there anything that I'm missing as a Linux noob?
When you booted into the live usb of endeavour did you pick the nvidia version? Make sure your bios is set to boot into the drive that has endeavour os installed on aswell, if so and it still the same maybe reinstall but use grub instead of systemd
@@linuxnext Yep! Selected the one that said (for latest Nvidia cards). Live environment worked just fine, but the reboot after the installation completes just boots to a black screen, not even a systemd-boot screen or anything. Not sure if it's a current problem with Nvidia or something I'm doing wrong.
@@TheHanleyProject i wouldnt think its a nvidia problem, id try a reinstall again with grub this time, this is very unusual to happen i dont think iv ever seen this problem before, i would definitely try a different distro like fedora kde plasma or Garuda linux to see if the same issue happens or not
@@linuxnext bro I am getting disk write error in steam on fedora I am trying to install games on my hdd but its not downloading I am getting this error
Installing on old laptop with USB2 only. OMG this is so slow and laggy. Every click takes 10 minutes. Can't finish installation because Im still waiting on the WiFi menu to pop up and let me connect. Do not recommend for old laptops.
How old are we talking here? I have a laptop dating back to 2012 and it installs endeavour os just fine, plasma desktop has rather newer features that rlly old laptops dont support so your better off installing vanilla arch through the archinstall and choosing a desktop environment like xfce
I had issues with other distros, yes nvidia lag with x11 on fedora with external display and stuff with packages and kde connect weirdness prolly due to using selinux. Ubuntu just being ubuntu, working baddly. But then i tried endeavour, and well out all distros most things work, altho kde here is inferior to the one from fedora hmm.. it has less features and a bug with nvidia 545 happens after suspend on login when connect to external display only showing the mouse(just like on ubuntu), with fedora's kde this actually would not happen. Also how to avoid breakage knowing i already do snapshots and backups(well still WIP as i need to sort out dejadup too tbh).
Solution: wait for nvk or switch to amd at some point To avoid package breakage use opensuse tumbleweed The external display problem is something that cant be fixed by me, its up to the developers of kde or gnome or system76 to fix
@@linuxnext No my question was not actually about nvidia, nvidia is fine on 535 vulkan dev for me currently, sorry i was not specific. Would you know how to use the same kde on endeavour as fedora? And then about breakage i meant avoiding breakage from the arch package manager aside from avoiding the AUR.
When it comes to kde plasma, it is the same just less packages installed, i dont know what you would want in kde that fedora kde has as i always remove the packages that fedora kde has installed, so i cant help you with that. If you want to avoid package breakage then you can use flatpak or lock certain packages that you think will break? Add an IgnorePkg line to /etc/pacman.conf Or maybe use distrobox for certain tasks? Or maybe use a immutable distro so things dont break on you
@@linuxnext there seemed to have been some mouse features availeable and the suspend bug not happening(perhaps i wait for plasma 6). Ok i learned something overall in case anything happens i already have distrobox and will improve w it yeah. A video on that would be great too :) I myself currently could not get kde integration with it(mouse pointer changes with apps and i cannot open files from dolphin to applications, aside from that it works).
@@linuxnext because I have pop!OS and my wifi keeps turning off and no matter what I do it doesn't work. Apparently the realtek WiFi chips have lots of problems with Ubuntu based distros and some others. So I might get endeavorOS now because apparently arch is the best at supporting realtek
it seems its because endeavour os uses the newer r8169 driver not the older r8168 which is what pop os is using im guessing as its based on ubuntu 22.04. i checked my laptop and im using the same pci as you, i havent had issues with pop os wifi turning off tho, maybe im using a different wireless card. whats your laptop?

I have litteraly like only 2% of linux knowledge. Im used to use zorin os and find it not really smooth and the boot time is way to long. Can i treat this os like zorin and keep almost every settings as it is?
Endeavour os installs the default packages and drivers for the user, if you want a gui store you will have to install those things through the terminal as endeavour os is very terminal centric. So if you watch that guide it can help a lot The only thing I didn't do correctly was when installing endeavour os make sure to create some swap memory+ hibernate when you get to that part in the installer. Other than that things like expanding your vm max map count so certain wine games dont crash would be needed Or installing libva-mesa if you want hardware decoding on an amdgpu Endeavour os is pretty barebones distro compared to zorin but it includes the majority of things you would need + uses x11 by default if your using nvidia It also doesn't include flatpak by default so you would need to install that also which is easy to do just Yay flatpak editing your vm max map count sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/vm.max_map_count.conf add vm.max_map_count=2147483642

@@linuxnextOh I learned the punishment way, and was trying to dual boot and ended up screwing up my boot loader. Was able to save it, but yeah. This was back in 2010, Arch now has gone soft and actually helps the user set up the system.
Good OS but the focus on terminal for everything in 2024 is beyond dumb. Having to use terminal for stuff that other distros have gui is terrible for adoption of new users. Its time distros stop with elitism bs and focus on getting more people into Linux taking advantage of Windows is bad time and stuff like the steam deck is gaining adoption amongst non technical people
you can install the same gui stores that the other distros use so not that big of a deal honestly, if you want gui stores already installed on a arch based distro then use manjaro or garuda. endeavour os is supposed to be like this as lots of arch users want a clean install without gui stores as they already know the terminal well thats why there are so many distros to choose from, it gives the user choice for what they want

@@linuxnext If you like KDE, give Solus KDE a shot, I am sure you'll forget Endeavour quickly ;)
Hmm it seems Solus is alive again so maybe I'll create a third partition and give it a go :) thanks for the suggestion!
@@linuxnext To be honest, I've tried a lot and then Solus came back, I am using Solus 4.5 Gnome and it is very fast and responsive, games run fast and stable. Just give it a try... Would be interesting to get your opinion.
that said, for gaming, do you really think older packages will make a big difference ? I'm using endeavour for some time now, but i might try debian for the first time soon. If i can get a similar performance doesn't make much sense for me to stay on any arch distro. @@linuxnext
Thank you, brother, for the video. I am facing a problem with the application vpn proton flatpak work an linux mint bet fedora not work ?
What issue is happening when you try to connect to proton vpn? It's a flatpak so the chances of it working would be very slim if you switched distros
Thank you problem no connection vpn
have you tried the debian version of proton vpn?
remove the flatpak version and then try debian version

id test that on linux mint and if it doesnt work then idk you can switch to fedora if you want too

please don't use amdvlk, there's no use when mesa has vulkan-radeon which is far superior. if you install both, amdvlk is enforced which is not optimal.
Wdym? I wasnt using it in the video, endeavour os uses amdgpu by default
I'm new to endeavourOS I've used ubuntu for few months but i am afraid that how I'm gonna fix a bug that may appear due to rolling release model.coukd you provide some guidance to me for learning endeavourOS and how to maintain system without breaking things and installing packages the right way
Well use the stable repos on arch for stability, dont use testing repos or staging or unstable repos unless you know what your doing and are sure everything is backed up before hand
I use yay for updating and installing packages, if you're gonna install a aur package just make sure you know that if its a important system package that something could break, other then that rolling release cycle is pretty safe i would say, iv been on endeavour os for almost 2 months now and i have experienced a breakage from the official packages on the stable repos, so i wouldnt worry about it as much
So you can either do yay in the terminal, you dont need to use sudo just yay and it will check for updates to install or pamac gui can do updates for you aswell, that will use pacman the traditional helper for installing and updating
I also use yay -Yc this will check for unneeded depends so there are no conflicts with packages or just to clean up things if iv been doing a lot of testing
If you wanna see when a package is ready you can go to archs website or if you wanna look at popular aur packages that is their too
If you're using nvidia make sure you're using dkms so it rebuilds the kernel everytime there is an update
@@linuxnextthanks dude for the information
would you recommend using hyperland as wm or something else ?
@@karanraval5046 im not the person to ask for that 😂, hyprland is supposed to be a almost perfect wm for wayland and for nvidia etc but i havent tried it fully

For me only shows to option in bootloader: grub and nobootloader. THe problem is: i try to install by grub and i get some error and cant install. ANy ideias why?
I have a ssd and a HD. The HD has Windows, i guess ( ssd had it too, but i erased it).
Im very confused of how you have worded this lol
The grub is what is supposed to come up on your bootloader, then you select the kernel to boot into endeavour os
If you cant figure it out id recommend not using arch and instead something like bazzite or nobara may be up your alley :P
So then you can figure out maybe what is actually happening and then retry later down the line
Sorry, English is not my first language, I was very tired and talking about stuff I really don't understand well.
I used to have a SSD and a HD, both with Windows.
When I started to install endeavour, it only appeared to me two options on the bootloader for me, instead of 3. Grub and Nobootloader.
The installation was interrupted and I received a message that said the grub wasn't able to be installed.
Don't know if it makes more sense now or if it changes anything.
Yesterday I give it up and tried Linux Mint, that is was more familiarised and worked. Sadly, I don't like Mint , so I'll try again later.
Anyway thanks for the response
@@thesupremeverdict6764 could be something to do with your bios maybe like secureboot or something else, im unsure aswell, i would definitely give fedora a try with kde plasma spin, pretty similar to endeavor os

Hmm i know there is a way of moving the home directory over but i dont do that and cant remember how to do it, i just back up my stuff on a second ssd
after setting up this OS like this video all is ready to go?AMD drivers would always be latest on this just like Nobara?Or do I need to do anything else?I have all AMD system.I am ready to triple boot windows 11 nobara and this arch OS.Also is setting up chaotic AUR necessary?I generally prefer to use official repos in the pamac gui software manager.
Amd drivers will always be the latest yes
It is not necessary to setup the chaotic aur, the chaotic aur is just a easier way of grabbing packages from the aur without needing to build it. Its just a personal preference

Hi, I am a newbie and still using Windows. My concern about moving to Linux is that it crashes. I heard a lot that it crashes and even after a system update it crashes. I would like to ask you: Is there a solid distribution that does not allow the user to tamper with the system, for example through the terminal or programs?
Wdym by it crashes? Linux only crashes if you make it crash, a distro where you dont have to use the terminal nobara or pop os, linux mint
i guess what you're looking for is immutable distros like Vanilla OS, although i have no experience with them and can't tell you how good it is.
you'd better go with the user-friendly distro like Mint or Zorin, just set up restore points with Timeshift, don't mess with files you don't know or understand and you should be absolutely fine
@@penguin2137 i was using vanilla os 2.0 beta and its amazing BUT i would recommend bazzite as thats what im currently using and its also amazing as it doesnt break, if it does you have about 3 other previous states made so you can go back easily but you dont loose anything on your home folder as its on its own separate partition. Pretty amazing
all/most distributions can achieve this, just don't give your standard user login accounts admin or sudo privileges. No need for the complexity of an immutable distro, just a basic graphical user account manager
Hi LinuxNext! I just tried to install EndeavourOS Gemini on my system with an Nvidia 3080, and after first boot I just get a black screen. I installed with all the defaults during the EndeavourOS install process. I don't even see systemd-boot, it just boots to nothing. Is there anything that I'm missing as a Linux noob?
When you booted into the live usb of endeavour did you pick the nvidia version?
Make sure your bios is set to boot into the drive that has endeavour os installed on aswell, if so and it still the same maybe reinstall but use grub instead of systemd
@@linuxnext Yep! Selected the one that said (for latest Nvidia cards). Live environment worked just fine, but the reboot after the installation completes just boots to a black screen, not even a systemd-boot screen or anything. Not sure if it's a current problem with Nvidia or something I'm doing wrong.
@@TheHanleyProject i wouldnt think its a nvidia problem, id try a reinstall again with grub this time, this is very unusual to happen i dont think iv ever seen this problem before, i would definitely try a different distro like fedora kde plasma or Garuda linux to see if the same issue happens or not
@@linuxnext Ok cheers! I'll give grub a shot first, and then another distro like Nobara, thanks for your help!
Bro how to install steam on fedora 39 kde it is not showing in software center
you need to enable the steam fedora repo in gnome software or use flatpak steam
@@linuxnext bro I am getting disk write error in steam on fedora I am trying to install games on my hdd but its not downloading I am getting this error
Installing on old laptop with USB2 only.
OMG this is so slow and laggy. Every click takes 10 minutes. Can't finish installation because Im still waiting on the WiFi menu to pop up and let me connect. Do not recommend for old laptops.
How old are we talking here? I have a laptop dating back to 2012 and it installs endeavour os just fine, plasma desktop has rather newer features that rlly old laptops dont support so your better off installing vanilla arch through the archinstall and choosing a desktop environment like xfce
@@linuxnext Will try vanilla with Ethernet connection to be on the safe side. Just cant enter the WiFi password because there is no popup.
I had issues with other distros, yes nvidia lag with x11 on fedora with external display and stuff with packages and kde connect weirdness prolly due to using selinux.
Ubuntu just being ubuntu, working baddly.
But then i tried endeavour, and well out all distros most things work, altho kde here is inferior to the one from fedora hmm.. it has less features and a bug with nvidia 545 happens after suspend on login when connect to external display only showing the mouse(just like on ubuntu), with fedora's kde this actually would not happen.
Also how to avoid breakage knowing i already do snapshots and backups(well still WIP as i need to sort out dejadup too tbh).
Solution: wait for nvk or switch to amd at some point
To avoid package breakage use opensuse tumbleweed
The external display problem is something that cant be fixed by me, its up to the developers of kde or gnome or system76 to fix
@@linuxnext No my question was not actually about nvidia, nvidia is fine on 535 vulkan dev for me currently, sorry i was not specific. Would you know how to use the same kde on endeavour as fedora?
And then about breakage i meant avoiding breakage from the arch package manager aside from avoiding the AUR.
When it comes to kde plasma, it is the same just less packages installed, i dont know what you would want in kde that fedora kde has as i always remove the packages that fedora kde has installed, so i cant help you with that. If you want to avoid package breakage then you can use flatpak or lock certain packages that you think will break?
Add an IgnorePkg line to /etc/pacman.conf
Or maybe use distrobox for certain tasks?
Or maybe use a immutable distro so things dont break on you
@@linuxnext there seemed to have been some mouse features availeable and the suspend bug not happening(perhaps i wait for plasma 6).
Ok i learned something overall in case anything happens i already have distrobox and will improve w it yeah.
A video on that would be great too :)
I myself currently could not get kde integration with it(mouse pointer changes with apps and i cannot open files from dolphin to applications, aside from that it works).
Have you had any issues with your realtek wifi chip?
nope, why is that?
@@linuxnext because I have pop!OS and my wifi keeps turning off and no matter what I do it doesn't work. Apparently the realtek WiFi chips have lots of problems with Ubuntu based distros and some others. So I might get endeavorOS now because apparently arch is the best at supporting realtek
do you know exactly what realtek wifi chip it is? id like to do some research for you :)
@@linuxnext RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI. This is what it showed in my terminal I believe that is correct. And thank you very much
it seems its because endeavour os uses the newer r8169 driver not the older r8168 which is what pop os is using im guessing as its based on ubuntu 22.04.
i checked my laptop and im using the same pci as you, i havent had issues with pop os wifi turning off tho, maybe im using a different wireless card.
whats your laptop?

I have litteraly like only 2% of linux knowledge. Im used to use zorin os and find it not really smooth and the boot time is way to long. Can i treat this os like zorin and keep almost every settings as it is?
Endeavour os installs the default packages and drivers for the user, if you want a gui store you will have to install those things through the terminal as endeavour os is very terminal centric.
So if you watch that guide it can help a lot
The only thing I didn't do correctly was when installing endeavour os make sure to create some swap memory+ hibernate when you get to that part in the installer.
Other than that things like expanding your vm max map count so certain wine games dont crash would be needed
Or installing libva-mesa if you want hardware decoding on an amdgpu
Endeavour os is pretty barebones distro compared to zorin but it includes the majority of things you would need + uses x11 by default if your using nvidia
It also doesn't include flatpak by default so you would need to install that also which is easy to do just
Yay flatpak
editing your vm max map count
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/vm.max_map_count.conf
add
vm.max_map_count=2147483642
@@linuxnextim only need two thing to work which is a browser and microsoft office. I used to install playonlinux on zorin os to get microsoft office to work. And chrome as a browser. Soo if i just want that basic thing to work, is arch based linux is not really a necessary for me?
And also the reason im choose linux over other os like windows is because i want to use chromebook and windows tend to have a large footprint compare to linux. Not to mention how low end chromebook spec are.
@@YukkiYoshiko well your browser will work fine, Microsoft office can work the exact same way if you use playonlinux
But just searching up Microsoft office a ton of people maintain products for this in the aur
You can have a look here for that

In general do you need arch? No, do you want arch? That depends on you, i would say i want arch because of the aur and the rolling release cycle of packages but you may not need it and you could get confused and things could break if you dont know what your doing

Essentially, for those people that want to say they use Arch but were too chicken to just install Arch, but isn't Manjaro.
Yeah lol, its a good learning point for users aswell that want to move to arch but are scared, i ran endeavour for a couple months and now im on arch :)
@@linuxnextOh I learned the punishment way, and was trying to dual boot and ended up screwing up my boot loader. Was able to save it, but yeah. This was back in 2010, Arch now has gone soft and actually helps the user set up the system.

I dont think so, but my sister got it and gave it to me, so i felt like crap for a week
Good OS but the focus on terminal for everything in 2024 is beyond dumb.
Having to use terminal for stuff that other distros have gui is terrible for adoption of new users.
Its time distros stop with elitism bs and focus on getting more people into Linux taking advantage of Windows is bad time and stuff like the steam deck is gaining adoption amongst non technical people
you can install the same gui stores that the other distros use so not that big of a deal honestly, if you want gui stores already installed on a arch based distro then use manjaro or garuda.
endeavour os is supposed to be like this as lots of arch users want a clean install without gui stores as they already know the terminal well
thats why there are so many distros to choose from, it gives the user choice for what they want
Steam deck os = arch linux
Covid in 2024? What?
You should have natural immunity by now bruv.
Thats not how it works bro
