EndeavourOS Guide & Tips - My Favorite Linux Distro!

Today I'm going over EndeavourOS, one of my favorite Linux distros. It's based on Arch and provides an easy installation process, allowing users to choose from a wide range of desktop environments. The package manager also makes updating and installing new software extremely easy. This tutorial is perfect for new users. I also explain how to install, remove, and update software, along with a few tips using KDE Plasma.

I typically use Ventoy and I'm planning to make a video about it in the future, but the point of this video was to make it easy for newcomers to install the OS. This wasn't meant to be a tutorial on Ventoy or other bootable USB tools.

I was a linux administrator, oracle database administrator, windows administrator, network administrator for decades. Then I retired. It's been almost ten years now. The only reason I ran windows was for games. always preferred Linux. Recently discovered the masses of games which now run on linux, so here I go. Thanks for the beginning tips.

to uninstall software I recommend to type "yay -Rns program-name" instead of "yay -R program-name"
-n to remove any config backups the program might create
-s to remove it's dependecies (that other programs don't depend on so it's safe)

i really like how u explain in detail for the newbie wich require a lot of patience.

[Guishan_Lingyou]

Thanks for the help. It's been a very long time since I've used linux, so a simple getting started tutorial is appreciated.

[CMRonin]

This guide covered pretty much everything I needed to know. Thanks man 😃

Great video, thanks for making a clear guide on how to install and start using Endeavour OS. I abo liked how you described the terminal commands so concretely .

[lisagibson]

im use to ubuntus type with the sudo and thought that arch would be hard but this video made it easy to understand :D Thank you!!!

[raiden]

Great video, also I'm running endeavouros rn, it's now one of my favourite aswell!

[Voyager-sama]

i would say linux from scratch is on a bigger level than arch/gentoo when it comes to difficulty, can't say anything about slackware, but i heard it is also hard.

im currently using ultramarine linux, its based on fedora, because i wanted a more stable system than arch.

great video

Nice, currently on openSUSE but have been distro hopping and EndeavourOS looks like a great option. I've previously used Manjaro, but I like that EndeavourOS is closer to vanilla Arch. In the command line it has a capital Y which I'm guessing that is the default, if you just hit enter it should be the same as typing y then enter.

That light reacting to your voice in the background ... triggers ^^ There is really a man on earth that uses this thing and I found him :)

I hope this comment is seen by someone, but when trying to dual boot EOS from a USB stick, i have thr issue that balenaEtcher only flashes EOS onto a small part of the drive, and then the EOS installer doesn't recognize the thumb drive as a drive to install itself onto. Any help would be appreciated!!

Arch breaks when you don't update the system for a few months and then update. Or in rare cases when updating without reading the changelog because you have to update in a very specific way to not break the system. Ugh, the last thing I want is to have my system throw a tantrum when I've been away for a while and get back to it.

[SirRobinII]

I couldn't get my sound to work in EOS, so I went with Ubuntu. Great tutorial nonetheless.

[Munky]

Oof. Trying to install this recently has not gone well... First off my bios hid the secure boot setting (fucking MSI), then for wherever reason the boot manager was being a pita so I had to select Grub instead. The partitions were being a pita...

Finally get in, and pacman/yay are fucked...
Also, can I get a context menu with admin fucking permissions so I don't have to stare at god damn terminals all day?

[UmitSeyhan]

Gotta say that the lights on the background that is responding to your voice is very distracting.

[slaydog]
