@axt after you brought my attention to gpg checksum directions, the replies to the two-step gpg directions seemed invalid in my terminal konsole. This was the first time in all my linux years I have encountered a gpg style checksum (or a “.sig” file).
Was a big fan of Antergos and have been keeping an eye on how things have unfolded with Endeavour. I tried out the second beta in a virtualbox, just downloaded the stable release and will try it out live shortly. Congrats! When I first saw the thread on the old antergos forums immediately following their announcement I never would have thought this would have happened so quickly and with such organization. Serious kudos to everyone involved. Looking forward to booting up my first Endeavour…

Running on bare metal:
Quick install. Seven minutes from “Install Now” to “Reboot Now.” Working fine so far, but it’s late so I’ll abuse it tomorrow 
Overall, very well done – especially in the time involved. Thanks for all the hard work.

Having two desktop environments installed usually leads to a ton of redundant applications as well as problems with default applications.

I know, but I wrote this article especially for users who want to abandon XFCE since the online installer isn’t ready yet, that’s why I ended the article with the commands to remove another DE.

in this installation, there are still the xfce4 packages. I would like to know how to make an iso image with linux-lts only
the same way we do the non LTS version of the ISO only change the installed kernel;)
just put linux-lts and linux-lts-headers instead linux linux-headers and that’s it, I’ll do a test tomorrow
I agree. So, I will throw this suggestion out there to get a feel on how users think on this.
Proposal
I don’t know if a base Arch install will be one of the ten DEs supported by Endeavour or not. If it is going to be supported, I suggest that the Arch base install be the next release.
- Perhaps @joekamprad could comment on this, but I would think that a Arch Base install should be quick and dirty to get out as most of the details have already been worked out with the XFCE version. Although I might be off base on this opinion.
- If 1 is correct, then users that want a DE other than XFCE would have a chance to have a pure Gnome, KDE, or other DE. This could be a stop gap fix until all 10 DEs are available.
After a pure Arch base install, one would only do the following to prepare for installing a new DE. The following could change depending on what @joekamprad inclues in the installer, such as a user account.
I am an old school Unix/Linux user, and a lot of distributions have the alias ll installed out of the gate. Pure Arch doesn’t. So the first thing I do is add it. As root add the following line after the PS1= line.
# vi /etc/bash.bashrc
alias ll=‘ls -l - -color=auto’
# ping edeavouros.com If the ping works fine, if it doesn’t work, enable dhcpcd.service as follows
# systemctl enable dhcpcd.service
# useradd -m -G -s /bin/bash YourNewUserName
# passwd YourNewUserName
Next, follow the Wiki article by @Bryanpwo in the Jul 16, post earlier in this thread.
Voila, you have your new DE
Any comments on this proposal?

I try to think but nothing happens.

hello,this is the result of the test
@JR29 first i do not get what this could be… you are building an LTS image…
Do you have this on Github/Gitlab forked so that i can have a look to sources?
But the file:
must be changed…
