If you run endeavour, you are basically getting Arch with a familiar installer, a few useful helper scripts, and a friendly community. You are still expected to know your hardware and your install. You are still expected to keep up with the Arch news, and make any manual interventions required. If you do that, endeavour is remarkably reliable.

Recently endeavour changed the way they deal with some firmware related packages

Actually, that was Arch and as Endeavour uses the Arch repositories + the AUR, and their own repository for their additions, they were naturally affected.

Fucking hell, what is wrong with people? Looks at the US. Oh right.

Endeavour OS is the best because you get all the benefits of Arch combined with a familiar and friendly installer, a good out of the box setup with the desktop of your choice. Not to mention the outstanding community that’s built up around it.

Oh. You’re one of them. I can safely ignore you.

If it wasn’t on by default, the kind of person who would benefit from it wouldn’t discover it.

The moron could be in HR instead of IT.

That’s for you to decide.

Nowadays it also has binary packages.

Good for him. It’s a reminder that the rules apply to everybody.

I was thinking a good air cooler, I don’t like AIO!

If you’re doing big compilations, get good cooling also.

EndeavourOS, it’s Arch with a familiar installer, several useful helper scripts, and a friendly community.

No Probs. I’m happy to help.

Yeah, you will need to install the X11 session as detailed in the news page I linked. To summarise sudo pacman -Syu plasma-x11-session

I was hoping you had f-6 which was causing all sorts of problems for amd and intel users but you have f-9 which purports to fix them all. The next question is are you using Plasma with X11? If you are, the have a look at https://archlinux.org/news/plasma-640-will-need-manual-intervention-if-you-are-on-x11/

What does pacman -Qs linux-firmware show?

I consider updating my docker containers part of updating my dev environment, which is on a different schedule to my system updates. I use a function for updating them.

I wouldn’t have thought so. You have only changed the appearance, it is still fully there.

Why install another bit of software when a simple alias will do the job nicely?
