For those who didn't already know, Endeavour OS is a continuation of the Antergos project along with a sibling, Reborn OS. Antergos was quite a popular arch based distribution when perhaps only manjaro and itself were well established arch based distros unlike now where we have tons of great ones. Antergos sadly had to discontinue. The great Antergos community picked up the development and made it into endeavour os. That is part of the reason why the community is so friendly i suppose because Antergos community was friendly too.

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve just installed EndeavourOS Gnome. I'll be honest I wasn’t expecting such a difference from Ubuntu, I was thinking I might be too much of a newbie for it. This video has made things much clearer, so thank you again.

For those coming out of a sparkling fresh install, do a 'yay cmake' before installing pamac. I needed to install cmake in the default install on boot, so you likely will too. Just choose option number one to install.

Great timing...just installing Endeavour and found your things to do video awesome....I would never have found most of those settings.

Props to you, I basically do the same thing with my eOS installs. I too really enjoy the use of pamac. I'm glad eOS took over for Antergos, as Manjaro just doesnt fill that void.

Came to Manjaro when it was in hype and then never bothered about distro hopping anymore. After so many years, am getting tempted by Endeavour and your videos on it to give it a shot. Only concern is its more bleeding edge and perhaps liable for more errors . But am gonna give it a try in personal laptop as a daily use and then slowly move to Work if its good and stable in long term.

Thank you so much for showing us how to install pacmac!

[zombiewafle]

Hello, just a thing to say. I really like that wallpaper!

[scudsturm]

thank you for explaining how to install a gui for managing apps in endeavourOS

[Alex-untl]

like the distro a lot, looks like just like manjaor without that crazy heavy theming! :)

[alfblack]

very nice. Planning to use Endevour as main os for my laptop. Highly appreciate this video.

Excellent video. I like Yay, but I have been using Bauh package manager as my GUI software package manager. I was warned off Pamac as I was told it favours Manjaro repositories, which follow arch repositories, but are slightly behind with regards software versions?

[arunkumar]

Hi, it's very good video. I just installed KDE plasma. I want to know how to install gui for software repository

[sinisterpisces]

Thanks! This is a great guide.

I'm using the latest version of EndeavorOS (I installed it yesterday), and the only issue I ran into was a complete failure to install pamac. Yay downloaded and compiled a bunch of stuff, but eventually failed due to dependency issues. It wanted cmake and another library, and I installed those, but it was still unhappy. I'm too much of an Arch newbie to figure out exactly what happened, and I foolishly failed to install timeshift first to set a restore point. I installed bauh from the AUR instead, which worked fine. :)

Still, I might wipe the system and start over since I haven't done anything else yet. Failed AUR builds make me paranoid. :P

Testing this out and I’m new to Linux stuff and enjoyed Manjaro. Wanted to try this OS but not having a gui was holding me back since the command line can be intimidating sometimes lol

For those wondering, if you don't want to be able to enable flatpak or snap at all by anymeans, there's pamac-nosnap and pamac-aur. Only pamac-all has snap/etc. Also, if you're using XFCE, like I am, and need a QT-based package manager (since pamac only comes in GTK) you can use octopi instead, which may invoke some nostalgia for those who used really old Xubuntu/etc.

Thanks for this video! I was following the background import process, but it won't let me select more than one image at a time like you can. What am I doing wrong? Everything looks the same except I'm running the latest version of Endeavour as of Oct 17th 2022

[elamandeep]

hey !! can you tell me how can i download same wallpaper used in video for windows??

[ritamsarkar]

Both manjaro and endeavor os are having issues with the usb Mouse. The usb Mouse stops working after a few seconds from log in in my laptop.... what should I do?

[Pieteros]

Are media codecs installed by default or will it need to be installed separatelly like in fedora ?
