Hi everyone, just been using EnOS for about 3 weeks and it is stable! Let me explain… I’m sort of an Arch newbie :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I use linux at work and have been doing so 100% for about 6 years now. I am a researcher. I stopped distro hoping after a while using ubuntu then manjaro.…

Yeah, that’s what’s good about Arch & Endeavour - daily updates (more or less), but less to download per update. Unlike other arch-based distros (or indeed Windows) which hold updates back for a month or more and do massive downloads 1-2 times per month.

Ain’t that the truth? I find it much easier to deal with any issues if there are only a few updates involved. When there are over one hundred it can be a real pain in the a**!

So actually you know exactly how you ended up with EndeavourOs :wink:

Welcome! I also found myself on EnOS for work and had similar reservations, but so far it’s been really stable and the smaller updates help isolate problems for troubleshooting when/if they happen.

Obviously I haven’t. But,tell me, that after 13 years in the making, even Tool brought out a new album BEFORE Slackware brought out a new version? It happened to Debian … which makes it officially verifiable sloooooooooooooooow. :roll_eyes:

Are you suggesting that Debian went 13 years without a new version at some point? The gap between 2.1 and 2.2 was only about 11 years.* So, not slow at all. :rofl: (* lest anyone take it seriously - that’s a joke - they didn’t really)

11 years? I’ve got a Puppy/Slacko on a USB that’s 10 so far. It’s 32-bit so will load on anything and by default has root privileges. Talk about a digital weapon of mass destruction. I use it as my rescue tool. chroot? Who needs it? It never updates and it’s still (obviously) as good as new. A few m…

[image] anon3337769: Are you suggesting that Debian went 13 years without a new version at some point? Naw. I’d never. But Tool went 13 years without a new album. And it was a running gag that we’d first see a new Tool album before we see a new Debian version. And - as if they’ve heard it -To…

I don’t know how I ended up with Endeavour OS
