Just installed EndevorOS on my old dell. Very good experience in terms of responsiveness compared to Windows.
The main reason for selecting EndevorOS is the flatpak support. I installed Freedoom. Thanks Dev Team. It was an easy and smooth experience.
hei welcome and indeed we have no issue with flatpaks… in case you do want to keep it simple and have no special needs… they serve you very well… i do run a testinstall with GNOME and mainly test to use flatpaks for any desktop apps needed and it runs totally fine.
I have positive experience with both flatpak and Endevor.
I came across flatpak first trying to install Firefox on a Chromebook. Loved the concept. Fast-forward, now I have EndeavorOS.
Welcome! I’m sorta a new convert too, but not a distro convert. Total “abandoning Microsoft for Linux!” convert. Love this distro! Rocking GNOME Wayland. It’s great!
Welcome to the EndeavorOS community. I also run the distro on an older Dell desktop and everything works fine. I also use one or two flatpak programs, although I admit that I mostly install packages from the AUR if I can’t find something in the main repositories… Among the Linux distributions, the AUR probably contains the widest selection.
