Same here on my desktop. :smiley:

If it doesn’t work, what is your filesystem?

ext4

I would guess that the word “Birth” needs to be changed to the language used on the installed system if you are not using English. (Or just use stat /)

This is the date my laptop arrived :slight_smile:

My experience is similar to yours. I have broken some things during this time while fiddling, and was about to reinstall just a few weeks ago, but then I decided to give the matter a bit more attention and I managed to fix the bugs that were gnawing at my patience lately. Upon fixing them I discovered the culprit to be some “tweaks” or failed fixes I did at some time or another :sweat_smile:.

Evidently I never quite got around to that clean Endeavouros install I’d promised myself. Despite embiggening the disk in the last year. :blush:

My Franken AnterEndeavouros is running sweet though :slight_smile:

A classical Arch installed using Anarchy Linux… 3 years and 2 months or 38 months… How times fly by…

Not that long but the longest time an install of a Linux distro survived.

I can confirm this for an E14. Maybe not the top notch, but a solid choice. The predecessor was an E530, which also worked very well.
