… 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

    I’ve never tried EndeavourOS as it always seems a bit pointless now archinstall exists.

      As someone who used both, endeavourOS gives you a good idea what a system should look like, it’s not extremely overdone.

      I did switch to Arch, just because i think that i don’t need quite as much.

      If i would have only tried Arch i would have spent so much time figuring out what’s possible and what i want.

      There is a place for it, not everyone wants to take so much time figuring things out and that’s fine by me.
