Exciting to see endeavoros making the list. I'm one of the 0.06%! There's dozens of us!!
It is really great, even with a NVIDIA. Never understood the complaints about arch, but maybe I have Endeavour to thank for that
Ciao! When you are an Arch enjoyer but also too lazy to install it again.
Definitely about ease of use. After borking my system a few times it was just easier to go with endeavor.
Can anyone comment on how difficult it is to get gaming working on vanilla arch vs endeavor or... Bazzite I think the other one is.
I'm about to transition my main PC to Linux and I haven't decided. I transitioned my laptop to vanilla arch and got everything working but it's not a gaming laptop so that was the one thing I didn't do. Worried it'll be hard or impossible to get Nvidia card going and I'll have to redo everything for one of the more prepared options.
I'm on EndeavorOS, but I basically use Arch's wiki for any troubleshooting/guidance. I wanted Arch with an easy installation and I got just that.
No huge issues gaming-wise, but you do need to be comfortable referencing Arch wiki as needed regardless of your installation. My installation defaulted to the on-biard graphics processor instead of the gpu, so I had to install the proper stuff manually.
If you need help in the future, feel free to reach out.
EndeavourOS user reporting in. Where are the other two?
I am one of the two! Who is the last one?
hello!
Wait.. There is another.
Yay!
I’m one as well. Will be running the same install of EndeavourOS for 2 years next month.
I'm running EndeavorOS on three computers (2 desktops, one laptop). My wife uses the laptop, but TBH I admin it. She's aware it's Linux, but not much more than that.
Anyway, does that count for 3 (per boxen), or 2 (per person)?
Also, it's running my MIL's desktop that just streams classical 24/7, and she uses to check her bank account once a week. So that's 4? 4 more EndeavorOS installs, ah, ah, aaahh!
Another one here.
I've got the same install on 2 different machines for over a year now, EOS is the best!
Doing my part, reporting in as user!

paruthese days.
