ok i think I understoud what caused the problem.
I created the live usb with Balena Etcher…

I’ll try to recreate it directly from Linux

That shouldn’t be a problem. But this is:

Before launching the installer, try refreshing your mirrors from the welcome app and see if it helps.

Welcome here :enos:

add countries near by and as fallback Germany and US may increase the timeout

I had to try several times to change the mirroring regions, but it finally worked.
EndeavourOS installed.

Thanks again
