We do keep an open structure and working directly together with the EndeavourOS-Community.
So everyone is welcome to contribute to the creation of our installer ISO and for the little Repository packages, we need to give a little convenience to EndeavourOS.
You can start filling Bug reports here at the Forum or go directly to GitHub and contribute by first getting knowledge about the code and then start with Pull request there, or simply use GitHub to share your thoughts about improvements.
The open structure needs also a system of trust so that we can not introduce anyone without first getting some trust by contributing from outside if you reach a certain level of trust we will invite into a team directly.
As we do have all code on GitHub you can start there:
ISO:
Branding:
Calamares:
If you are thinking about theming/setup of DE/WM other than xfce4 or i3 we have the Community Editions:
Hi, welcome on the forum.
You can always ask a question in the newbie category, if you’re in doubt which category your issue belongs.
For tips and sugestions, I refer you to our wiki, Discovery or simply use the search function on the forum.
Hi, I would like to get involved in contributing to enOS.
There is the following items that I am not sure about, which is updating theming and updating calamares. How can I go around contributing in these ways?
If you was thinking about theming/setup of DFE/WM other then xfce4 or i3 we just started with the Community Editions, as we do not go to theme all installable Environments per default but we include the option to install any of them or others as Community Editions from the same installer ISO:
to have them installable it needs a packages list netinstall.yaml and a setup.sh in a specific format.
setup.sh is the script to run needed commands and copy setupfiles to the users home.
Trying to create a “community budgie edition” I will look at doing some of the other desktops on the Online-Installer too, and just a tiny bit of theming on the offline xfce config to fix that oversized battery¬ifications icons
Yeah, it includes Budgie, but I was thinking of making something more themed towards eOS (community editions). It’s more of a 20 minute job for the user though, so on second thought it shouldn’t be needed, I just wanted to play around with it anyways
I do play around with Qtile a lot, I use it on my desktop, that may be something worth investigating (tiling WMs suck on tiny laptop screens tho, imo).
edit : So unfortunately, fixing the icon size involves making all the icons smaller, which makes the launchers too tiny. Oh well, at least I use docklike applet… i find the text obnoxious! now getting qtile
