Description: These two Linux distributions are both based on Arch Linux and have similar functionality. They are just installed on a Single media so you can try them both to see which one you might like better. Before we talk about anything else, let’s first get an idea of all the key features that make EndeavourOS great! Calamares Installer: Support for Online and Offline InstallationEndeavourOS removes the need to go through Arch Linux’s complicated text-based installer in favor of the GUI-based Calamares installer. It’s much more user-friendly and offers a pragmatic solution to installing your Arch desktop with all the necessary options bundled in. Furthermore, the EndeavourOS developers have customized the installer to include support for both online and offline installation. Offline Installation: Here, you don’t need to have an active internet connection during the installation process. Also, the XFCE desktop will be installed along with EndeavourOS theming. Online Installation: In this case, you will require an active internet connection. But as a benefit, all the mirrors will get automatically updated during the installation. Also, you will get to choose from 9 different desktop environments (including XFCE) along with the EndeavourOS theming. Tons of Desktop EnvironmentsEndeavourOS officially supports 9 different desktop environments, as mentioned below: XFCEMateCinnamonGnomePlasmaBudgieDeepini3-wmLXQT... The lightweight XFCE desktop environment is chosen as the default option, whereas any one of the other DEs can be picked during the online installation. You get a completely vanilla experience of all the DEs without any unnecessary customizations besides the light EndeavourOS theming. MinimalisticEndeavourOS is a terminal-centric OS and one of the most minimalistic distros out there. It just comes with the necessary apps and packages that users will generally install on their Arch PC. This includes basic drivers for sound, network, graphics, as well as Yay support and a terminally operated AUR helper. Firefox browser is also bundled for your internet browsing needs. And that’s it. You get no extra apps and no unnecessary bloatware. The distro hands you all the basic building blocks, which can be a bit of a hassle for new users to install on a vanilla Arch system. After this, you are in full control of your PC, installing apps and packages to create your own custom-made personal computer. A Well Thought-Out Welcome AppTo further help the beginners and new users, EndeavourOS comes with a rich Welcome app available both before and after the installation, acting as an assistant to guide you through your journey of using the distro. Before installation, the Welcome App gives you access to the Calamares installer and the option to update mirrors, troubleshoot issues, and links to useful guides and tutorials. Once the installation is complete, the Welcome is updated with new options to help you configure basic settings. It also contains dedicated sections to share tips and tricks for effectively using the distro and the option to “add more apps” like an Office suite, the Chromium web browser, and so on. One of the major life-saving features of EndeavourOS is that it comes with the non-free Nvidia drivers preloaded into the kernel. This is super helpful for users who are using an Nvidia GPU on their system. Installing the Nvidia drivers can be a real hassle, and to have them preloaded and automatically installed during the OS installation is super convenient. There are also additional steps for Nvidia Optimus users. Friendly CommunityAnother one of the major focuses of the EndeavourOS project is on its community. The EndeavourOS team has done a commendable job creating a platform where advanced Arch users help Linux newcomers with all their questions and doubts.
