Before I had tried many other Linux flavours, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Gentoo, Funtoo, etc. As for Manjaro, I transitioned from Xfce to KDE. I run a lot of AI stuff. So, my first problem with Manjaro was that the Nvidia drivers from the repo are too old and incompatible with Cuda from AUR. So I had to install the Nivida driver from the Nvidia blob. Shortly after, the desktop started to freeze after a while when running AI-related stuff. The only solution was a hard reset, which, in turn, resulted in file system corruption. This happened both under X11 and Wayland. Probably reinstalling the Xfce edition would have solved the problem but, because of the driver mismatch, I decided to give EndeavourOS a go, Xfce, of course. EndeavourOS is much closer than Arch than Manjaro is. It is almost like Arch with a user-friendly installer and minimal configuration to have you up and running in a few minutes. Given that my top priorities are stability and a small footprint in terms of system resources, that is a good thing. I have been running EndeavourOS for a while without a glitch, even though my GPU is constantly number-crunching to the very limit of its capabilities. Granted, the desktop experienced needed a bit of extra configuration, but, all in all, switching to EndeavourOS was absolutely worth it. If everything keeps going like this after a few system upgrades, I believe I have found a new distro to settle in. Was this review helpful?

I’ve been browsing this site a bit and it has a lot of good info and I like trying out different distros and different desktop environments. It’s a bit easier installing different Linux distros in a virtual machine than real hardware, but I do both sonce I have some spare computers lying around that can’t be upgraded to Windows 11. For this review, I tried out Endeavor OS. I’ve been using it for a few months. It has been a great and pleasing experience overall. Definitely much more lightweight and speedy compared to Windows.. It was pretty easy to install this, the steps are easy to understand and follow and everything m worked as it should- partitioning was easy since it’s a whole graphical installer- but I was worried because I heard nightmares of Linux bristles being hard to install and het through the installer on account of having to do everything manually- but that was not true at all. I do a lot of browsing on the internet and researching, and Firefox was pretty quick to open, with numerous tabs (about 10-12 I’d have open), but I had no issues going from tab to tab watching youtube videos and researching. I didn’t experience any crashes or lock-ups when using this. There is a good amount of programs installed by default to get day-to-day tasks done. It was also easy to update the system and software. I like the outer space theme and the purple color scheme, but I’d rather have a more 3D, skeuomorphic interface with lots of eye candy- since a lot of computers can handle this easier compared to in the past- but it’s great there is a ton of choices for different themes, and easy to install. Overall, it’s so refreshing to use Endeavor OS, Microsoft has been a nightmare these last few years and I’m so happy I switched to Linux and use EndeavorOS as my daily OS. Was this review helpful?
