Hello, I wouldn’t say I’m new to Linux (been using it the last three years, mainly Manjaro Minimal KDE, but I’ve also been on POP!_OS), but I’m definitly still a complete newbie. My reason for leaving Windows is mainly all the bloat stuff. I can’t stand having 400 extra apps and such I never wante…

A warm welcome AtBios, and many thanks for trying EndeavourOS! I’m going to try to answer your questions as best as I can. I’m no expert on the OS - all I can tell you is my experience. In answer to #1: Yes there is. When you get to the screen that has what desktop you would like installed, you can…

There is a minimal install of Arch Linux. That is Openbox which Endeavouros may include soon in their online installer. In the meantime, it is remarkably easy to install Arch Linux yourself and then add xorg, lightdm and openbox for a full functioning and very neat Linux operating system. The Arch W…

I do quite a lot of gaming on Endeavour. Useful stuff includes xow ( Xbox One wireless controller dongle support ), DS4 support is baked in. There’s also proton-ge-custom-bin for cutting edge game support for steam. Fortunately most of my game collection is on steam which makes life a lot easier. …

[image] AtBios: Is there something similar to a minimum install? So I get everything I need from the base packages and such (e.g. like system settings, network drivers, etc.), but maybe not stuff like Kate and such that I never use? From the videos I have seen the online installer seems to do so…

[image] AtBios: How is it to set up for gaming? Stuff like Steam (using proton), and lutris, etc. On Manjaro I have run into some small problems with Lutris, so I assume I would run into the same ones, would like to hear if someone else has experience with this. :slight_smile: I think you wil…

If gaming does not work out of the box, just get it running. Should not be too difficult. No matter if it is steam or Lutris. Just imagine configuring kind of a foreplay or prelude. :wink:

[image] dalto: or to install a minimal system without a DE and install the DE yourself. Is that an option in the installer? I think that’s what I’d like to do next time around, in favor of either herbstluftwm or openbox.

It has been a while since I used the installer, but I think it’s possible to do a minimal install without a DE. Anyhow, it’s not that complicated to remove a DE if you chose to do so. As far as DM’s go I’m not much of a help, as I don’t use one myself, but there is bound to be one of the DM gurus a…

[image] drhoopoe: Is that an option in the installer? Yes, simply do not check any DE option. Pudge

Considering EndevourOS, some before questions I would love to know before installation
