Hello, everyone :vulcan_salute: I’ve been using Linux for a long time, and I’ve used EndeavourOS before, as part of my chronic distro hopping, which I’m trying to cure. I was always a Debian user until Antergos brought me into the world of Arch. Lately, I’ve been switching between Fedora and Debian…

[image] QuijoteLibre: For Btrfs snapshots, subvolumes are the most suitable, and Timeshift or Snapper are the best options. I also need some guidance on how to configure them. If you do an automatic install and select btrfs as the filesystem, it will automatically create the subvolumes you ne…

How to run a stress-free EndeavourOS I have spent a lot of time over the last 8 years helping people fix their broken systems and seeing people constantly describe how much trouble it is to keep their Arch-based systems running. Meanwhile, even though I run many systems with different configs, I…

How to run a stress-free EndeavourOS Don’t re-use /home - People will often tell you to have a separate partition for /home. IMO, this is terrible advice. You should never share /home between distros. Even with the same distro, it typically doesn’t make sense to re-use it. If there is some prob…

[image] dirn: That said, if having swap is still considered beneficial, I might revisit the idea — possibly using zram or a swap file instead. It 100% is. I have 64GB of RAM and the OOM killer sometimes will kill processes if I don’t have swap enabled.

[image] QuijoteLibre: I don’t think using Flatpaks in Arch is critical, but since I use some KDE packages, and packages like Calibre, Steam, Telegram or Zoom, I think it’s safer to install them in a somewhat encapsulated way. Would you recommend using them? In my opinion, AUR is ideal for drive…

[image] dalto: It 100% is. I have 64GB of RAM and the OOM killer sometimes will kill processes if I don’t have swap enabled. Thanks, @dalto . I’ve opted for zram since it’s the easiest to configure. I set it to 50% of my machine’s total RAM. NAME ALGORITHM DISKSIZE DATA COMPR TOTAL STRE…

[Captura desde 2025-09-23 14-42-07] :slightly_smiling_face: I’m delighted with how it’s working, and I’ve even left a nice fastfetch. Thank you for this distro.

Thanks for the clear answers. I won’t go to bed tonight without getting it up and running. This thread is a gem and is already in my bookmarks.
