Well, luckily for you the net installer give you just about any desktop you could want!
hello,you take whatever you feel best with; do vm tests
Mƶglicherweise hilft dir das weiter! 
Ich bin mit Xfce sehr zufrieden 
Mine is a cheap laptop, five years old, preliminary on Ubuntu, and now working fine.

When I change HDD with SSD, I want to come back to ArchLinux and I discover endeavourOS which made install simpler.
Mine is a cheap laptop, five years old, preliminary on Ubuntu, and now working fine.
Still an old five and nine years old laptop can serve as a computer for EndeavourOS. 
I tried XFCE4, Plasma and Deepin already. Until now there is no fitting one. I will try the rest of the desktop environments.
My beastly setup

Hello @mr.ed
Itās been a while since Antergos days. Is this a new install here? Did you try this command? It is set up for EndeavourOS.
screenfetch
Why do you still use this āoldā kernel? Do you have something that wonāt run with a newer kernel?

Yes i didnāt notice as @Endlich pointed out. You are on older kernel as the current kernel is 5.4.15
sudo pacman -Syu

Hello @Rick, yes, I have used screenfetch and I have also used sudo pacman -Syu. And, @Endlich, my system has been running GNOME since the days of Antergos. However, there is always a message that a Python version is not compatible. Maybe this is the reason why the current kernel cannot be loaded?
@mr.ed
Do you get this message when updating? Maybe you can share that by posting it someway because if the kernel isnāt updating that is no good. Please post it in a new thread.
