… 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.
Looking at that script, most of it is just changing what the OS reports itself to be and what themes to use. Of course, it also removes the EndeavourOS specific repo and mirror-list. Still, this script is a pretty good illustration of how little difference there is between EndeavourOS and Arch once installed.
That was part of my reason for linking it, and also why I put “convert” in quotes. It really is just Arch pre-configured and with some themes and some extra utilities.
I actually didn’t know they had their own repo until I took a look yesterday and not only is it tiny but it seems to be mostly themes, configs, and/or tools. I don’t think they even have alt versions of existing packages, just additions.
