Re: Endeavour OS
Rescently I bought a reconditioned Dell Optiplex 7020 Desktop computer from Walmart’s Online Store. It came with the Windows Operating System installed. Because I am not fond of Windows, I immediately tried verious Linux and BSD versions on the computer. None of those systems ran very well on this computer. The Windows system is one that I am not impressed with, even though it is a good operating system, it isn’t what I enjoy using. When none of the Linux or BSD systems operating systems ran smoothly or fast, I was discouraged to the point that I almost returned the computer. One of my favorite Linux distributions is Endeavour OS. When used on my 2010 Dell Studio XPS, it was extremely fast and efficient. However, I could not get Lebre Office to install completely or any other Linux systems. I was able to get NomadBSD and GhostBSD to run well enough to get by, but neither were operating fast enough to please me. I assumed it was because I didn’t have enough Ram to satisfy my desired.
After a lot of frustration, I decided to install Endeavour OS one last time. When I could not get Libre Office to install completely after four hours, I decided to experiment with the computer’s BIOS. That idea did nothing to improve the speed of my operating system. However, I learned the computer BIOS had its own Firewall built into the BIOS. If the computer had a Firewall built into the BIOS, could it be the issue? The only way to answer that question was to remove the Firewall built into the operating system. The second I removed Endeavour’s Firewall, the computer became a whole new machine. Everything operated at speeds never seen before. Libre Office was installed with a couple of minutes, and it functioned as never before. My internet speeds doubled, and every single program on my computer ran at speeds never seen before.
So if you try Endeavour OS on a computer with a builtin Firewall, remove Endevour’s Firewall if you want a super-fast operating system.
