I have returned

Lounge Hello
1

I was a user of EndeavourOS for a long time, but when my laptop died in 2020 I bought a Macbook M1 and starting using Asahi, which was still based on Arch at that time I think. I would have loved to have run EndeavourOS on that laptop, but the Asahi and Arch went their separate ways ad Fedora was the preferred distro.

Now my Macbook has gone to a family member and tomorrow my ASUS Vivobook arrives. Of course it’s getting EndeavourOS on it as soon as I’m sure it’s working correctly, and Windows 11 will be relegated to a monthly boot for security patches. Or even fully deleted if I think I can do firmware upgrades without it :wink:

Amsterdam based, and interested to see how much abuse I can give my 4Gb/s fibre optic connection over the next few days

Okay, I’m little bit envious about that. This is what I get on my upgraded fibre:

On WiFi. The package I have is 300M so this is really good. :slight_smile:

Of course my wifi connection itself maxes out at 800 mb/s, way below the router itself. But it does have a 10 and 2.5 gb ethernet port to play with…

If you need good router/mesh TP-Link has these Deco’s that have quite nice speeds (I’m using TP-Link Deco X10 WiFi 6).

That’s good on WiFi. You must have newer WiFi hardware.

I’m up and running, boringly easy. Will attempt to get Hyprland going on the weekend…

I have been using ML4W for about half a year and out of curiosity installed
JaKool again to a test system.
Apart from a minor feature that it did not allow to install alongside XFCE – laptop keyboard was dead, external keyboard was working.

So started from EnOs nodesktop + Arch-Hyprland install.sh
No need to evaluate : more mature, less constrains in customasation as opposed to ML4W.
Or I still struggling to understand the idea / structure of ML4W.

I think ML4W is a full on DE solution; JaKooLit maybe the same but less custom scripts. I had ML4W running in an EnOS VM and it was fine for me. might spin up a VM first and look at JaKooLit there before I commit to one. I did think about also going EnOS no desktop, but as this a brand new laptop I’ve currently installed KDE Plasma to check everything works first.

I’m excited to see the eye candy on the 2.8k OLED screen :heart_eyes:

Yes, brand new ASUS Vivobook and a brand new modem from KPN
