Spelling: "Endeavour OS" vs. "Endeavor OS"

[wavetro]

Hello! I’m new here.

I’ve been running this distro on KDE for a day and it’s amazing so far, but I was wondering something: what are your thoughts on how “Endeavour OS” is spelled or written?

Personally I would like to be able to write it as “Endeavor OS” since I live in the US, but now it’s got me curious what everyone else in the community thinks. Should it be written with the “u” no matter what, or is it okay for people to spell it without?

It should always be written as EndeavourOS since I suppose it is a proper noun.

Welcome!

Why is this distro called Endeavour?

[EOS_polygons_V2_full_poly_mastodon_700x335_logo] Warning: This is an article with a longer read time Every once in a while I read and receive messages or emails on why we are called Endeavour or the question if this French word means the same as the English word endeavor. To start with the last question for the non-English speakers, it is an English word but spelt in British-English. So Endeavor, the North-American spelling, and Endeavour are the same words in meaning and pronunciation. Now…

EndeavourOS

This seems to settle it. I didn’t know it was named after Inspector Morse, let alone the fact there was a NASA space shuttle of the same name!

Thanks for the fast replies! I’m probably going to be sticking with this distro

EndeavourOS is my favourite distro, except for the colour purple, I prefer green. My neighbour disagrees, but I’m not surprised by his behaviour, since he has no honour nor any sense of humour.

I agree. I hate purple and EOS is my favourite distro. I also prefer green.

Neighbour sounds like a douchebag - I mean no sense of humour and likes purple
