Wikis generally do not contain tutorials; and the endeavouros wiki is a very sorry excuse for a wiki, and i don’t think it can be edited by just anyone either.
You do not see value in these?
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 never actually have these problems myself.1 I have helped people with so many obscure issues that if I ever did have issues with systems failing after an update I could fix them myself without too much trouble in most cases. However, I d…
Updated 12/22/2022 to match the method used for installing systemd-boot in Cassini and later ISOs
Several people have asked me for a tutorial on how to convert an existing EndeavourOS install to systemd-boot, an alternative to grub.
The first question is who should install systemd-boot. From my perspective, here are the reasons to install systemd-boot
systemd-boot is less complicated than grub. It uses simple text based config files which only contain a few lines
It is less prone to breaka…

As per a request: EASY setup of XFCE while using the i3 window manager in place of xfce4. @nate - give it a go, maybe it’s what you’re looking for.
I’m sure there’s more than one way to do this. I’m sure you can do it by adding in i3 later. This is a walk through from fresh install to a nice usable setup the way I do it. Please pour yourself a drink and let’s go!
Alright, so we have our live USB. It’s time to install! It’s VERY im…
Warning: Most of what is done here in this tutorial is now already implemented inside calamares installer!
but … it can be useful for pure arch install…

Inspired by some posts from @TomZ I decided to have a (re-)go at btrfs, test its snapshot capabilities and the ease of restoring these, try different subvolume setups and check if calamares allows for an encrypted install.
As a result I have decided to make the following my new default type of install…

Since its introduction virtualization has come a long way. Nowadays hypervisors are used for almost everything from running enterprise-level servers to testing different operating systems on a local user computer. There are many paid and free hypervisor solutions available in the world.
But in this guide, we are looking at installing one of these best free toolsets used for virtualization and they’re Virt-Manager, KVM, and QEMU. This guide will show you how to install thes…
here’s a tutorial on how to get a Windows-entry in systemd-boot in case you use separate ESP partitions for Windows and Linux, with help taken from the Arch Systemd Boot Wiki entry .
It is recommended that Fast Boot is disabled in UEFI as it can lead to several issues especially when dual booting - at least for me, it has no influence on boot time anyway.
Install edk2-shell:
sudo pacman -S edk2-shell
copy that to your esp-partition:
sudo cp /usr/share/edk2-shell/x64/Shell.efi ESP/shellx6…
Clearly there’s some reason they are posting it here and not on some wiki.
