Adding Desktops to Arch

Arch Linux can support many Desktop Environments. Here we walk through installing a few different desktops on our EndeavourOS test build. We also fix Gnome-Software.

Arch's package management is better than Manjaro's package management. I have respect for Manjaro maintaining their repos since that is hard for Manjaro to keep up with Arch. Manjaro is more user friendly and it comes out of the box for new Arch user. I started with Manjaro and switch to Arch on my desktop. I personally like Endeavor OS since it is close to Arch. I wanted to use easy arch installer for my work laptop and I now use it currently. Manjaro and Endeavor OS are both excellent distrobutions.

Thanks! that helped me to understand how do you run multi-desktop environments

Thank you for the video... I had XFce DE as the default back when Endeavours first came out as that was the only DE at the time. Then I installed Cinnamon DE as the default on top of with XFce and it was a plain DE and had to do a lot of work to get the DE to look like Mint... Lol
Love EndeavourOS as a base, it is so easy to customize. Now you get to choose what DE ya want to install. I remember in the beginning days of EndeavourOS you even had to install printer support and Codecs to get sound to work. It has come along way in a year! Congrats EndeavourOS on your first Birthday! :-)

1:32 "If you building your Arch system from scratch you might need to do some stuff but not on Endeavour"
Very misleading title as the video probably not helpful for someone actually wanting to install desktop environments in Arch Linux.

Thanks. But I jumped from Windows directly into Manjaro with tiling WM (Xmonad). And honestly, I found my perfect setup.

ArcoLinux has the arcolinux-tweak-tool with which you can install a lot of DEs or WMs. It is pretty easy. Unfortunately it cannot uninstall them. That has to be done manually.

I must admit I still have the fear of rolling distros!
