Endeavour OS - A simple, yet convenient Linux distro.

Hey guys, welcome to this blog. A quick FYI... FYI:i wanted to make this blog a video but my SD card commited sad. So yeah.

The installer is a standard installer that ships with most Linux distros so we won't go into that.

We are going to take a look into the eos-welcome screen! It surely is one of the most unique Linux after-install-welcomers I've ever seen!

See for yourself, except Linux distros like Ubuntu where you can add your Google account and that's it, you can really customize Endeavour to however you want and Endeavour encourages it!

Now the for the bloat... It comes with absolutely no bloat. Well, the default Desktop Enviroment (DE) bloat, but that's it. Now, hear me out. EOS is bassicly Arch with a skin.

Like it or not, it's what people want. For people like me, installing and maintaining Arch is a pain in the ass and Endeavour eliminates it.

The support of EOS is so good! I can send a Tweet to EOS at almost any time and I get a reply! That is truly amazing, right?

They have a Telegram chat and I never really went there, but judging how good their support is on Twitter, I could say it's good automaticly.

EOS also has a pretty big forum where you can go with any questions, wether you're a Linux noob or expert, they welcome you!

Well, like I said, EOS is basiclly Arch with a skin wich means the performance is great! I can run heavy games, under Proton and a Virtual machine, if you will, with excellent performance.

(no benchmarking tests as I am not really good with them)

For those of you who don't know what ARM is, it is a mobile CPU architecture. This means that you could run Endeavour OS on i.e the new Apple Macbook's with the M1 chip wich in my opinion is a huge step forward.

Plus, you can run EOS on mobile devices and on a Rasberry Pie, like the new Rasberry 400 with an quad-core Cortex-A72 CPU. Pro's and con's

So far, in the few months I've been using EOS, I haven't seen any bugs, glitches or else.

Here are the pro's
