EndeavourOS: Our new ISO release is here, meet Mercury
It has been a while since we released our last ISO, Endeavour Neo, and even though this new ISO comes...
Love this Distro, its been my go to for years.
I'm finally making the jump to EOS when my new desktop gets here ~Monday, so this timing is awesome. Super excited!
I've set up several distros on VMs lately (CachyOS, Bazzite, EOS, PikaOS, NixOS, and more), and Endeavor has one of the absolute best installation and onboarding experiences.
Something about it just feels so polished, though keep an eye on PikaOS. They've got some great UX people on their team.
Been running EndeavourOS for a few years now and it really is the best desktop OS I've ever used. It's up to date, fast, always works, looks beautiful and an update is just a yay away.
XFCE 4.20 blaze it 🔥
I've been really happy with Nobara, but if I ever go back to Arch it'll be through EndeavourOS for sure.
Purple was always Neptune for me.
Mercury a bit more orange..
Splendid! I have a laptop running Arch, and while I did set that one up manually, it was a lot of work. Next time, when I do it on my gaming PC, I'm definitely using Endeavour
How does EOS compare to Pop?
EOS is based on Arch and Pop is based on Ubuntu. So, biggest difference will be more up-to-date packages.
Well Pop is based on Ubuntu, while EndeavourOS is based on Arch. So package availability is a little different. I've never really had issues with either but only really checked out Pop for a few weeks. I'm typing this from my EOS rig I play all my games on that's been stable and happy for maybe a year now.
One distro is fairly similar (or can be made similar) to another more or less if you get into it. I've found EndeavourOS pretty damn easy to set up and run for what that's worth and run it on three different machines right now.
yay

Looks cool!
Funny, just installed EOS on my new system and it's been great! Only had a few small hiccups with setup due to the strange setup I have.
