I used Endeavour OS on my two laptops, today I decided to go for an installation also on my desktop. After the installation tho, somehow I found arch linux instead of Endeavour. I think because I unselected almost all packages from the installer except the really needed ones. E.G. networkmanager, mtools, dosfstools… can I fix this?
I think you’ll want the eos-hooks package. I think.

Thank you a lot, I think something else might be needed tho, do you have any idea?
Hmm, well, I don’t actually use EndeavourOS, so…
I was under the impression that eos-hooks took care of /etc/lsb-release and /etc/os-release, which should be all you need to identify the OS. Perhaps I am mistaken.

What is it you wanted to have installed?
Where?
Why?

When I log in in tty or also in neofetch the result was Arch linux.
Because now the result is not archlinux but “x86_64” like a generic OS.
What happens if you run /usr/bin/eos-hooks-runner ?

Okay so, the problem is I didn’t have lsb-release installed. The file existed but contained only one line “rolling”. I removed the file and installed lsb-release and it worked. Thanks a lot

Solved right now, thanks a lot!
Yes, if you uncheck the Endeavouros section of the install, you don’t install everything that actually makes it EOS.
