Hi there,
sorry guys, I’m leaving.
I had very high hopes that EndeavourOS would be the right distro to try out arch, since I made some very promising tests in a VBox VM earlier before going bare metal.
Now running on real hardware, I came across some issues that I couldn’t resolve even with a decent amount of trying:
- cheese hangs up on a first photo screen and won’t let me take video recordings
- even with firewall disabled, vlc won’t play streams from my STB et9000 over my LAN
- kaffeine won’t play DVB-S/S2 TV
- could not get playonlinux to work reliably
However, some praise:
- very beautiful installer, did a very nice job even in a multiboot environment
- CUPS installed fine and found my network printer w/o any issues
I admit that fiddling with two different installers (pacman and yay) is not really my cup of tea neither, but that’s probably a question of getting used to another kind of philosophy.
And many thanks for your help on my two posts today, folks.
Let me have a break with EndeavourOS, I may come back some time later.
CU!
