Spoff your welcome. I am not an Arch expert but rather an intermediate level user. I do a lot of research on how to do things with Arch and have a small library on how to do things. One of those things is using the command line. I install many of the things via the command line especially since other installers are using the latest version of Pamac which is really buggy. For times when there are a lot of updates I will use the command line to update the system. It works faster then Pamac and is more reliable. Enjoy your Endeavoru OS.
Hi!
I’m using Latte Dock.
Plasma installation: sudo pacman -S plasma
SDDM installation: sudo pacman -S sddm
Then disable lightdm (if you have EndeavourOS Beta 2 installed): sudo systemctl disable lightdm
And enable SDDM: sudo systemctl enable sddm
Restart computer: sudo reboot
Everything should work 
Thanks for all the help from everyone… Cinnamon is up and running PERFECTLY!
Now, my next issue is the fonts. I loved the default fonts in Antergos. Will the fonts we have now in the beta, be the final version? FireFox looks funky as does everything else. Going to do some Googling to see if I can make Endeavour OS look like Antergos. 
we already fixed the font issue, you need to install some extra fonts for firefox:
sudo pacman -S ttf-dejavu ttf-freefont ttf-liberation ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-ubuntu-font-family noto-fonts ttf-croscore ttf-carlito ttf-caladea
Are you having any trouble with the following in Cinnamon. Do you have it installed with Xfce? I have been having issues with it not reading usb discs. It has nemo and thunar and when i right click on a folder it won’t open in a terminal either for that folder. using nemo. It will if i use thunar but not nemo. I didn’t notice this issue at first but now it’s driving me crazy. I installed other distro’s and it’s fine. I have come back a number of times and tried it and also hitop doesn’t launch in Cinnamon but it does in Xfce. I have no issue in Xfce to open a folder in a terminal. I’ve never had this problem before and i’m a cinnamon user.
I think the problem will be solved by removing Thunar or go to your preferences and make Nemo the default manager.
Hi!
I guess you need to configure your default terminal using nemo (it’s probably trying to use a not installed terminal)
like gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec xfce4-terminal
Okay, so because i have Cinnamon installed after i have both. (Xfce & Cinnamon) If i add or remove a package it is in both as i just log out and go to the other desktop. So it’s kind of mixed together but some apps are different on Xfce. Some apps like hitop won’t launch from the desktop in Cinnamon but do in Xfce. Not sure why and but it launches from the terminal. I’ll keep trying.
i guess because it’s trying to use a different terminal, similar to nemo, read the post above and see if it’s the way described there. (maybe the programs that are not launching use terminal as background to be executed?)
Okay i will try some different things. What started all of this is all of a sudden it wouldn’t read any of my usb discs. I’m not sure i have figured it out yet either. All the discs work fine in other the computer with ex Antergos.
I installed the Gnome terminal and it works in Cinnamon now. Open a folder in terminal works currently with nemo too but i have to see if it’s because of the Numix Icons which i haven’t installed yet. I have Arc Icons and themes right now.
I have found that when installing Cinnamon. it doesn’t pull all the Gnome stuff (gnome-terminal, evince and so on) that it expects to find. When feeling particularly lazy, I just install both and only use Cinnamon. Yeah, it uses space, but I at least I also have a backup DE in case one breaks.
Thanks,
It ended up i needed to install the Gnome Terminal and now right click open in a terminal works and so does hitop app. I guess Cinnamon doesn’t play nice with the Xfce terminal. I also have the Numix Square Icons and theming although it’s not the version in Endeavour as it fails to install so i used the AUR package.

Same here, but I was a heavy user of Manjaro back in its first two (painful) years. I got real good at fixing broken systems, especially when Nvidia drivers bricked my install.

Yeah I know the feeling. I used Manjaro user for two years also. I too got good at fixing it when things got screwed up with updates. It was the biggest reason I quit using it. Just got tired of the almost constant fixing. At the time I was using the KDE desktop and the final straw was when KDE switched to plasma. Plasma at that time was so bad my system would have a great many problems all related to Plasma. I used plasma with Antergos and again was disappointed when the KDE team started to make the DE unusable once again. They continue to mess things up and make it harder to do anything especially when it comes to root. XFCE on the other hand is light weight and much better when it comes to using root abilities. Plus they developers don’t just randomly change things just to make a change.
SPOFF, cage:
Manjaro is a rather unprofitable approach towards arch. I had it a lot shorter than you and I quickly got rid of it, including for the reasons you described. For example, AUR is supported, of course, but the creators do not really inform users about its use, etc. Anyway, I’m not sure what the purpose is for them. Fixing something after your own mistakes - okay, but the Sisyphus job, no, thanks…
I don’t intend to criticize Manjaro. It is a good product and very popular. But for my taste they have piled too many features onto Arch. Manjaro is sort of like what Linux Mint is to plain Debian. I prefer to stay closer to Arch and vision of the EndeavourOS team seems to agree with me.

I replaced Gnome terminal with xfce terminal ( as in even uninstalled it) in Manjaro and there it worked without any issues.
Why? Because xfce terminal can do more than Gnome terminal, while using less memory and being transparent.
