Anyone have experience installing EndeavourOS on an Intel Pentium?

I recently replaced the power supply of a Dell Inspiron 660s. The CPU it has is a 2nd gen Intel Pentium G2020 (2 cores, 2 threads). It currently has 4GB of RAM but I’m getting an 8GB upgrade later.
Will Endeavour run fine on this PC or will I have to settle for something lighter?

That is a Sandy Bridge processor. It will run fine.

If you have a spinning hard drive, I would avoid KDE.

Other than that, it shouldn’t be a big issue.

You can try with the USB installer…

Just keep in mind that running off the ISO, performance will be lower than the installed system.

If it has a HDD, an SSD drive should make it clearly faster.
8GB RAM sounds good.

Ok, thanks for the info. I started the install, and it was running extremely slow (download speeds were 140kb/s even though the browser loaded websites very fast.) I will try online install again and if that doesn’t work i’ll do offline.

There seem to be some issues impacting online installs this weekend, lots of posts about slow performance and issues pulling from the mirrors. You may just have picked a poor time to test :smile:

ah ok, so i’ll just do offline install then.
