If not EndeavourOS, what distro would you be using?

[ricklinux]

@dalto

I tried it, briefly.

• It uses an offline Calamares that allows extra package selection. If you use the “expert” installer it allows quite a lot of package selection.
• It is an opinionated distro for sure. It comes with a moderate amount of pre-installed software but the selections are fairly atypical and likely represent the creators personal choices. For me, I would spend a lot of time removing packages and auto-starting applications.
• I tried both plasma and xfce. They both had customized layouts which were generally attractive. One of the nicer looking xfce layouts I have seen.
• There are 3 custom repos which are positioned at the top to override the Arch repos.
• They seem to repackaging *-bin packages from the AUR which always makes me uncomfortable.

After a very brief time with it, I would say that it is interesting, but not for me.

I just read this unless you said that somewhere else?

Edit: Okay i see it above in another post! My bad!

In other words, it’s like working in a candy shop, you’re immune to the temptation.

Old saying, “you seldom find a diabetic working in a candy shop.”
In other words, do what’s best for you.

Too bad this doesn’t work!

sudo downgrade -all

Use the Arch archives to back up to a specific date - then you can re-upgrade for your ‘fix’! Check our Wiki for easy ways to do that

Unless I have zfs-kernel updates, most of them struggle to take as long as a minute - something to do with the hi-speed fibre connection I guess (not to mention the parallel downloads).

Oh - the kernel updates? Their repo is capable of only a few Kps - so minutes every time…

[ricklinux]

You downgraded to Gnome?
