From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Odd timing since there is a renewed push for Arm laptop chips coming around from Qualcomm.

Endeavor os is an utterly pointless distro anyway, it doesn't even host it's own repos. Just use Arch.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

EndeavourOS has its own repos and uses them to good effect to add small but important quality of life improvements to Arch.

EOS also had the very good sense to not reinvent the wheel and reimplement the best thing about Arch ( the large, high-quality package library ).

LMDE ( Mint on Debian ) is another distro that gets this right.

it doesn’t even host it’s own repos

Yes, and that's a good thing, otherwise it would be like Manjaro.

EndeavourOS is perfect if you already know your way around a Linux system but don't want to spend the time and effort to setup Arch.

Technically, Endeavour does have its own repos but they only contain a relatively small number of non-essential packages. But yeah, other than that it's basically pre-configured Arch with great defaults.

What's wrong with Manjaro?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (10 children)

They made errors with certificates twice. Apparently, that a cardinal sin for some Linux users.
