2023-01-16 | Nitrux | 20221101 | 1 | 2 | Download link on the official website didn't work, so I had to use the Distrowatch torrent. ISO file is version 20221102. When booting the live environment in Virtualbox it stalls with the message "ERROR: plymouth failed to start". |
2023-01-04 | Nitrux | d5c7cdff | 1 | 5 | Nitrux wont boot into it's live usb burned distro on 3 different computers I have. I tried burning ISO and DD methods both..............nothing. It boots to a menu and then when you press enter that menu turns black. I tried the other menu choices and it did the same thing............a black screen. I thought I got a c... |
2022-11-06 | Nitrux | 20221101 | 1 | 1 | I'd like to give an informed review for this distro, however, after down loading the iso and burning it to a usb for a live test upon rebooting I thought I had somehow borked my system as it took over 5 minutes to get the system to get to the bios splash screen... then another 5 minutes to get to grub. from there I was... |
2022-10-02 | Nitrux | 20221001 | 6 | 0 | Outdated GRUB, GTK and QT from ARCH. its recent, but old. Its a good looking distro and certainly give other distros a run in a desktop beauty contest. A lot of good work here. But, again, it doesn't move up forward in time, nor does anything that the old distro already offer. Thus its a replica. Time for it to move us... |
2022-09-26 | Nitrux | 20220831 | 3 | 7 | Worst distro I've used, and I've been using Linux since about 1998. Giving it 3 stars for looks, but otherwise, steer clear unless you just want a very basic, almost functional machine. Everything is buggy and it didn't pick up my Windows installation, so now I'm trying to get that back! Also, it doesn't have the basic... |
2022-03-24 | Nitrux | 2022.02.28 | 1 | 8 | Worst distro I've ever tried, literally it's a salad and spaghetti dish of Ubuntu, KUbuntu and Debian. Starting from Calamares, that keeps crashing during installation process, with mixed languages interface. If you get lucky to complete the installation after many tries, after starting up, the whole system is sluggis... |
2022-02-16 | Nitrux | 2022.02.02 | 8 | 12 | Really beautiful distro with some rough edges. Arguably the best looking distro around and can certainly give Deepin a run for it's money in the looks dept. It's clear that a lot of love & work has gone into the theming & UI. There are some rough edges for a novice user, for example: - SDDM selecting a default destop ... |
2022-01-31 | Nitrux | 2022.01.29 | 1 | 9 | Nitrux apparently doesn't care for my 1yr old Dell Inspiron 3793. First, there were lots of flashes before the login screen appeared. This was followed by a brightly colored desktop with a non functioning top bar. (I use Manjaro Gnome and i3 without any issues at all, full time, and just wanted to take a look at som... |
2022-01-30 | Nitrux | 2022.01.29 | 1 | 11 | tried minimal. got a top bar that does nothing, no root menu, no nothing. useless. |
2021-12-06 | Nitrux | 2021.10.29 | 2 | 0 | Yes, I went through this head-banging experience, trying the "minimal" 1.6 GB version first. I got no usable desktop or menu, just a question: "Should I load the i3 display?" No, I expected a KDE Plasma desktop or at least a menu. The larger file of 2.9 GB put on USB resulted in a desktop resembling a Gnome Shell but n... |
2021-11-01 | Nitrux | 2021.10.29 | 9 | 2 | I love the change from other distributions that are based on arch, debian, ubuntu, ect. For my usage Nutyx is a perfect example of how to do things right. |
2021-06-30 | Nitrux | 2021.06.29 | 10 | 6 | Nitrux is the Linux distro of the future... or from one possible future. Everything you've heard of, regarding latest Linux technologies and trends, is there: Wayland, containerized apps (through AppImage and flatpak), crossplatform desktop applications (through MauiKit (not to be confused with the similarly albeit unr... |
2021-06-30 | Nitrux | 2021.06.29 | 1 | 4 | I have tried researching nitrux a few times, while a novel concept the constant lying of the distro kills me. for example they have no documentation except for blog posts. Additionally, Vmetal... The holy grail of emulation. there has been no talk sense 2019 and any mention of how to make it work(found a page on facebo... |
2021-05-10 | Nitrux | 2021.05.01 | 10 | 40 | Interesting distribution, because Vmetal works and with very good performance, but it doesn't work with hybrid cards for laptops, which is my case. Very good performance, but I don't like KDE Plasma, I prefer Cinnamon or Gnome. It would be great if Vmetal works like Parallels on macOS because many people like me need t... |
2021-02-23 | Nitrux | 2021.01.28 | 1 | 3 | Worst install on any existing Linux distro. I paid for the privilege for the first editions, Unorthodox and overly complicated if you could even get it installed. Decided to give the new free version a spin. Just another sad adoption of this and that borrowed from other distros with the same confusing desktop experienc... |
2023-07-24 | OpenIndiana | 2022.10 | 10 | 6 | Just installed the latest OpenIndiana Hipster on my Thinkstation p520 with nvidia p1000: everything works right out of the box. Surprisingly, basic desktop apps are up to date: at the time of writing Firefox is 115.0.2, Thunderbird is 102.13, python is 3.10.12 and Libreoffice is 7.5.4.2. The Hipster repo has ~1K packag... |
2023-07-21 | OpenIndiana | 2022.10 | 10 | 7 | OpenIndiana is great if you had some experience with Solaris, want to avoid systemd, like using the MATE desktop environment, and have compatible hardware to install it on. So for me this OS is a 10/10. If it didn't exist, I would probably be using Devuan if I needed Debian packages or Artix if I wanted Arch rolling re... |
2023-03-06 | OpenIndiana | 2022.10 | 8 | 3 | After some small problems with this update the OI systems runs fine and rock solid. I don't use MATE, but the ctwm instead, which makes the system slightly faster. Together with the pkgin-framework I have all the applications I need. It's a nice alternative Unix system, however newer versions for Firefox would make li... |
2023-01-22 | OpenIndiana | 2022.10 | 1 | 1 | Live environment boots in VirtualBox but not in Parallels. Both Firefox and Thunderbird crashes on launch. I didn't even bother to install. This OS is a waste of everybody's time. |
2022-12-12 | OpenIndiana | 2022.10 | 1 | 6 | I tried to install several PCs, but I haven't found compatible hardware yet. Openindiana may be an excellent operating system for servers, but for most desktop users, it is unavailable. It would be good if there was a list of supported hardware. The Illumos Org. list contains only componens and is unusable.) Sorry, cur... |
2022-12-08 | OpenIndiana | 2022.10 | 1 | 0 | I don't know why this distro still exist, it as a lot of obsolete softwares/packages, it's based on Solaris which is dead (at least for desktop usage) and you have no choice of desktop environnements (KDE Plasma 5 and GNOME Shell doesn't exist and Xfce is obsolete) I think they should do a real upgrade so it became be... |
2022-01-31 | OpenIndiana | 2021.10 | 1 | 1 | The installation of OpenIndiana destroyed my Windows backups. My fault. I should have removed the USB HDD. |
2022-01-26 | OpenIndiana | 2021.10 | 8 | 1 | While the live image has some problems with running application such as firefox or the pkg manager, these problems are not present in the installed system. These issues may be due to lower amounts of system RAM being present - after all, Live systems really do require a fair amount of RAM just in storage space, not cou... |
2021-12-27 | OpenIndiana | 2021.10 | 1 | 8 | From the live image: Running Firefox --> segmentation fault. Running Thunderbird --> segmentation fault. Running "sudo pkg update" in a terminal --> ends up with pkg telling there is a bug in itself. Sorry but at this point it's just unusable. Please at least test your software once before releasing it. |
2021-12-06 | OpenIndiana | 2021.04 | 3 | 6 | I'm all for trying new stuff, just for the experience and have literally tried every distro on distrowatch over the last 20 years before finally settling on MX Linux as my home desktop. Reading the other reviews it seems way above my pay grade geek wise and the final straw came from the FAQ's on their site. "We do not,... |
2021-05-09 | OpenIndiana | 2020.10 | 3 | 18 | I really want to love this OS as it's a continuation of Solaris which I always respected... but its lackluster. Hardware driver support lacking is the largest con, but honestly I think the biggest hurdle for me was the branding (call me a shallow snob) but the name Indiana doesn't inspire.. really anything in me. And c... |
2021-05-03 | OpenIndiana | 2021.04 | 1 | 7 | Downloaded the latest version for a test spin. On my older Athlon 6000+ machine it booted up OK (live DVD) but there were many drivers missing or not compatible. I couldn't even get my USB WiFi dongle to be recognized so I could download drivers, so did not go any further. Next, I booted my much newer Ryzen V machine w... |
2021-04-23 | OpenIndiana | 2020.10 | 8 | 0 | Seems very solid. Not enough programs to run on it. All the commands seem to be polysyllabic. A little slow for a FreeBSD user. I am thinking of using it for office work when I figure out how to use usb storage, etc. |
2023-02-02 | Pearl Linux OS | 11 | 8 | 0 | I personally find this distro stable reliable and fairly polished. Based on Xubuntu 22.04 it provides the reliability that ubuntu is known for and the ease that xfce and lxde are based upon. the plank makes a nice alternative to the xfce or the lxde panel but we still have the options included with the xfce toolbar abo... |
2022-06-10 | Pearl Linux OS | 11 | 6 | 1 | During bootup I encountered several "failed to ....." messages and , naturally, being a large distro, it took its time. When finished booting I had no mouse cursor and no internet. I was not able to check out and download programmes from the repositories and actually i was quite disappointed. Even then everything I pre... |
2022-05-26 | Pearl Linux OS | 11 | 9 | 6 | For live system this looks great to me. I'm still wondering how did they put together so many apps with only 3.2GB ISO. There are some few things I would be missing, like fsarchiver, clonezilla, and midnight commander but that's fine. Oh yeah, the FreeOffice suite is a great choice and a surprise to see available, espe... |
2021-06-01 | Pearl Linux OS | 9 | 10 | 12 | I downloaded the ISO and booted it from the pendrive to start it. Very beautiful distro with very nice visual and effects. Everything worked fine. Calamares new installation, and it detected all other partitions of 2 more distros and Windows. Very good software store, I easily installed some apps. I liked it a lot. Con... |
2023-04-22 | Zephix | 6 | 10 | 3 | very highly flexible, portable as well, not any useless software preinstalled, a system as it should be. If I get it booting from hard drive (hopefully will find any documentation about how to do that), it definitely will become my daily driver :) ... |
2023-03-22 | Zephix | 6 | 7 | 1 | Looks great if you like a clean looking desktop without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Probably good if you're coming from Windows as it has a similar bottom taskbar and simple classic start-menu on the left. The icons even look win-like. You can also change the t heme in settings to have a different look if you ... |
2022-05-01 | Zephix | 5 | 10 | 91 | Very nice, based on stable of the debian, and nice designed desktop, i like it and small ISO size is good for low I use Slax and live distros, becouse i don not want erase/touch hardisk on my new netbook, who have legal windows 10 license, i think more people want try linux witthout installing but want more usefull liv... |
2023-05-16 | SliTaz GNU/Linux | 4.0 | 7 | 10 | Well...so over the last few weeks I tried 22 different distros. SlizTaz is the one I really, really wanted to work and was the only one I could not get WiFi to work on. What i think is going on is it does not recognize my WiFi hardware unlike 21 other distros. Unfortunately there are many SlizTaz documents for sett... |
2023-03-09 | SliTaz GNU/Linux | cooking | 5 | 5 | I used to run this years ago. I loved that it had such a small system footprint, and when I have a huge HD, extra space is great. I liked the look and feel, good skins and wallpaper. One downside was that my live cd wouldn't recognize my wifi. Eventually I had to switch to another distro because of issues with Wine, wh... |
2022-09-16 | SliTaz GNU/Linux | cooking | 9 | 4 | It's fantastic, I'm running slitaz on a 1GB 1.6GHz single core notebook, I have not seen yet a memory usage higher than 400 MB. Slitaz It's very fast and lightweight, providing a complete desktop experience, compared to his dimension. On the other hand, on tazpkg there is not so much choiche of package, only the essent... |
2022-04-20 | SliTaz GNU/Linux | cooking | 9 | 3 | SliTaz, well well, such an awesome little distro I wish had updated packages. I installed it on my 500GB HDD(overkill) with 8GB of ram(again overkill as a 32bit os, it uses only 4 at max.) It works like a charm, Openbox with LXDE gives you decent amount of desktop customization. Sure it won't be your cutting edge Linux... |
2022-03-08 | SliTaz GNU/Linux | 5.0-rolling | 8 | 0 | x16, x32 and x64, x32 perferred - Designed by BSD to have you UP N RUNNING. Period.! user: tux/root admin: toor .. Installable to Live-CD, USB, renamed from .ISO to .exe .. versitile. - not your every day OS yet, it will help you Debug your system - should others not Work for you. . I first ran into This back in 2016. ... |
2021-12-01 | SliTaz GNU/Linux | 5.0-rolling | 5 | 0 | I really liked Slitaz for its small footprint, ease of use, and very lightweight size compared to other bloated OSes (like Windoze!) But its major drawback alone it that its core kernel wasn't updated in well over a decade, and I don't know its current status. I wish it could be properly updated and maintained - with ... |
2022-11-14 | Springdale Linux | 8.6 | 8 | 2 | Springdale 8.0 works fine for me; easy installation without a lot of surprises. Base software package is more that adequate for what I need to use this old laptop for; web-browsing, email, document creation and printing. Printer setup was done via Terminal using the following commands to get my HP printer online: ... |
2021-07-15 | Springdale Linux | 8.4 | 7 | 4 | I just stumbled upon this one by accident, browsing through the trending lists of Distrowatch. All at the bottom was Springdale. It tickled my interest, especially when I saw that it was Red Hat derived and that the project came from Princeton. Now there's a reference I thought so I installed the iso on the Asus x75v. ... |
2021-01-11 | Springdale Linux | 7.5 | 10 | 4 | It’s rarely I give full marks to anything but this one deserves it. I’m actually using 7.9 which isn’t available to select as an option here. The speed apart even on an ancient Samsung RV415 is amazing. Using the net installer and selecting KDE gives you a KDE4 system with all the things we lost when this ‘upgraded’ to... |
2023-06-22 | Redo Rescue | 3.0.2 | 8 | 0 | I used for my first time and loved. Very simple to use responsive and fast. I used with ventoy directly installed on my HDU backup and worked like a charm. What I most loved is its simplicity and its interface with no frills. It does what it claims. In my opinion the overall system might be improved by adding two thing... |
2022-12-11 | Redo Rescue | 4.0.0 | 10 | 1 | Easy to use and work as advertised. Other backup systems have too many confusing options for someone like my grand parents to navigate. Redo Rescue is a snap even for beginner and can put everything back quickly if there is a problem. I also like that the cd has built in tools like gParted for making partition changes... |
2021-10-13 | Redo Rescue | 3.0.2 | 5 | 1 | I like what this project does, and the updates are great. However, here we are a year after the 3.0 version and nothing has changed other than the underlying Debian OS. It doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzy feeling, especially since the developer has disappeared with total radio silence once before. At this point,... |
2021-08-19 | Redo Rescue | 3.0.2 | 10 | 2 | 1) This little gem creates a full snapshot of your existing system with high compression and super fast! 2) You need 2 USB drives - one small drive with boot ISO and one larger one to store the images. 3) It automatically copies both the IFE (grub/FAT) partition and the main EXT4 partition into a single file 4) It trim... |
2021-04-11 | Redo Rescue | 3.0.2 | 10 | 2 | Redo was able to back up my data from two partitions on Ubuntu Linux at 3GB / sec. The restore also went easily, everything works fine. The design features a nice, simple interface. |
2021-01-11 | Redo Rescue | 3.0.2 | 10 | 3 | Absolutely reliabale on my Asus- and HP-Notebooks. I'm having W10 and Mint Cinnamon respectively W7 and Ubuntu 16.04/20.04 on the Notebooks and since I try a lot of prgrams it's quite comfortable to have working images of all OS-partitions. Version 3.02 works on both i386 and x64. I used version 1.04 before without pr... |
2023-02-17 | Linspire | 12-beta1 | 10 | 1 | I tried the 12 Alpha version and found it very good, however the Edge browser was not opening. I installed Chrome but it didn't open either. So I downloaded the Beta 12 version and this issue was resolved well and everything worked perfectly. I installed the distro in multiboot with Windows and Linux Mint and it is run... |
2023-05-04 | Slint | 15.0 | 10 | 2 | Slint is a very interesting distribution as it adds extra functionality for blind people. The website is very useful and informative. It is slightly easier to use compared to Slackware. The installer is very intuitive and comes with a good choice of desktop environments, mate, lxqt... perhaps xfce in the future. It com... |
2023-06-09 | Parabola GNU/Linux-libre | 2021.08.11 | 9 | 1 | Great distro overall, just like arch without non-free software and includes 32-bit support, The only real problem you will encounter will be installation media, do not, i repeat do not use iso's published on the website they're outdated by over a year, on rolling release that's ancient, for your sanity do a quick arch/... |
2022-09-27 | Parabola GNU/Linux-libre | 2021.08.11 | 10 | 4 | If you love Arch but are concerned for your software freedom, this distro is excellent. It prevents you from accidentally installing nonfree software by checking for conflicts with the conveniently named package "your-freedom". It may be a slight inconvenience to set up the keyrings, yet that should not be problematic ... |
2021-10-08 | Parabola GNU/Linux-libre | 2020.01.18 | 10 | 4 | It's pretty much indistinguishable from arch, meaning all the arch wiki documentation and support is applicable. Parabola wiki also has detailed instructions for librebooting with fully encrypted drive, including /boot. |
2021-09-06 | Parabola GNU/Linux-libre | 2020.01.18 | 10 | 7 | I need to retract my note. Parabola linux is the best distro I've ever used. The problem is in the iso images that come with a graphical environment. These images have many bugs and problems after installing the system, but when parabola with systemd is installed in the same way as Arch Linux, following the Parabola gu... |
2021-07-12 | Parabola GNU/Linux-libre | 2019.03.11 | 1 | 0 | Bugs for update with gpg keys; Bugs on boot; Forum is dead. |
2023-08-04 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 6 | 0 | I was caught up in the hype, and was expecting better than Manjaro but NO. Easy and nice installer, but after that it was downhill.I was expecting fast but no it was pretty ordinary, Q40S is faster. It does have a large collection of programs, once you set it up correctly GUI(Manjaro is all set to go out of the box). I... |
2023-07-19 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 1 | 0 | It doesn't feel comfortable. I have been using Manjaro since 2018. Now that I've bought a new SSD, I wanted to go on a distribution safari again, among other things I took a close look at the successor to Antergos. I don't remember Antergos calling itself a terminal-centric distro. An operating system that you have in ... |
2023-07-15 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 0 | Simply perfect! Best linux distro based on arch - nothing beats it on desktop. Using it on laptops and desktop sytems; huge availability of software and really easy to use. Nice community and good support - this is how a free distro really is meant to be. Would definitively recommend if you have some basic technical sk... |
2023-06-30 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 0 | EndeavourOS with GNOME, installed on my 10-year-old Intel Core i5-3230M laptop with 6GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD using the Btrfs file system, has proven to be an exceptional Linux distribution choice that is Arch-based. Despite the age of my hardware, the performance remains surprisingly smooth and responsive. The GNOME ... |
2023-06-25 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 2 | 0 | I wanted to try EndeavourOS because it was number 2 on the Distro Watch hit list. I thought the top 3 would be good. I already have MX Linux and Mint. I am not new to Linux. I’ve been using it since April 9, 2014. The On-line installer is good. I wanted MATE desktop. I got to have Caja file manager. I was able ... |
2023-06-24 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 20 | I love this distro. It's Arch Linux but with so many QoL features and improvements, whilst also using Calamares for the installer. There was no hassle installing and my NVIDIA gpu had working audio because they don't use nouveau. I use the XFCE desktop with it and it's really awesome. The Welcome app is really useful a... |
2023-06-22 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 8 | 5 | Easy installation and updates for the rolling release. I am comfortable with command-line tools and have current experience with other distributions. My current preference is for Arch-based distributions, I also have Fedora, Suse, and Ubuntu (Mint 21) installations. My EndeavourOS is on a Lenovo, Ryzen 5, convertible l... |
2023-06-09 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 36 | simply the best Arch linux experience I have ever used. cause it is not funny anymore to: 1) boot from command line arch 2) use lynx to read arch linux manual in order to install arch 3) introduce all the commands (cause no installer) 4) after install to waste time to install X & desktop & apps 5) to configure X & desk... |
2023-05-18 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 9 | 11 | I have to say that I am very impressed with the efforts of the development team at Endeavour. Very nice looking and had this installed before, as xfce. This was because the installation program takes so long to connect to a server so you can have an option to install an alternative desktop environment. Wasn't sure i... |
2023-05-11 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 4 | 1 | I've now moved away from EndeavourOS. It initially appealed to me as an alternative to Manjaro in the hope that I might get more than a few weeks or months go by without encountering issues fixed by a rollback or reinstall, but I was shown to be wrong. EndeavourOS too has occasional glitches following updates, and alth... |
2023-05-08 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 36 | simply the best Arch linux experience out there. cause it is not funny anymore to: 1) boot from command line arch 2) use lynx to read arch linux manual in order to install arch 3) introduce all the commands (cause no installer) 4) after install to waste time to install X & desktop & apps 5) to configure X & desktop & ... |
2023-05-06 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 7 | I got a newer older laptop recently and thought it was time to make the leap from the safety, reliability, yet dullness, of Mint. I don't regret it yet. What's good about EndeavourOS? 1. Lots of software choices, whether from binaries or source 1a. Lots of desktop environment choices 2. Current software and kernel, but... |
2023-05-01 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 12 | This is THE BEST distro on planet earth. Why? you might be wondering? I will list out some reasons: 1. It is VERY FAST 2. Calamares installer is VERY EASY to use 3. AWESOME SUPPORT (not like the cocky Arch support) 4. Arch User Repository 5. yay (AUR helper) 6. Awesome documentation (from Endeavouros and Arch) 7. 1 i... |
2023-04-28 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 8 | Best Linux ever. After W11 madness, im decide to through proprietary soft in the trash. Beautiful, fast, every app that exists is there. Direct arch repository and AUR. Best free and open source OS in the world. Recommend for everyone to exclude yourself from Microsoft slavery. And im hardcore gamer - every game im nee... |
2023-04-18 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 5 | I just installed Endeavour OS on an ancient Core 2 Duo hardware with an XFCE flavor and I am impressed enough that I then proceeded to install it with a GNOME flavor on my 2013 iMac i7, completely replacing both MacOS and Windows 10. It satisfies a number of requirements for me: 1. Rolling distro means in theory I nev... |
2023-04-10 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 4 | I have used Debian and Redhat based Linux distributions for a long time before, with all sorts of desktop environments and hardware configurations. However, after some time, I wanted to move to an operating system that really was going to be good enough for my liking, but also with recent packages and stable for daily ... |
2023-04-08 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 1 | I've been using EndeavourOS for a long time now on and off. Very easy to install and choose optional apps with the online installer. I have my own list off apps that i always install and pacman does the job well. AUR access out off the box but no package manager GUI but EndeavourOS welcome screen will help you with mos... |
2023-04-04 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 9 | 1 | I've been using endeavor OS for about a month and I gotta say that it's basically arch except with worse neofetch output. Endeavor has proven to be the most complete arch installation possible, and it makes no secret of it. My experience with this distro has been among of the greatest I've ever seen, from the gui refle... |
2023-04-03 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 1 | A few weeks ago i installed EndeavorOS on my old hp laptop to test it out. Here are the pros and cons. And the reason why i gave oly a 1 out of 10 rating. pro: nice installer(easy to use) fast instalation(on this old machine) did run Stable (xfce desktop) con: no pacman gui (pamac,etc) if you install a distro on your m... |
2023-03-30 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 4 | I run EOS, plus KDE Plasma, plus latest wine. KDE feels like Windows, less Desktop icons but superfast. It killed my Windows OS, that means, I do not use Win OS at all. I run the EOS from a Samasung USB SSD card too, 256GB and superfast. All windows Partitions and hardrives are mounted nicely. I also have MS Onedrive ... |
2023-03-28 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 4 | EndeavourOS is an excellent Linux distribution that delivers users a seamless and enjoyable experience. As a user, I am very impressed with this distro and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stable, fast, and easy-to-use operating system. One of the standout features of EndeavourOS is its installer, whic... |

2023-03-20 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 9 | 0 | Replaced the Manjaro distro. Tested with i3wm on 2 desktop(Dell) and one laptop(HP). It correctly detected time zone and keyboard layout. No boot issue or drive incompatibility with the last kernel drivers (except for the HP fingerprint). Stable. Just the minimal necessary software pre-installed but with adequate basic... |
2023-03-16 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 10 | 3 | A really great distribution! 1. Incredibly stable (you will forget about Manjaro bugs once and for all) 2. Nothing extra (No shitty Manjaro settings) 3. With the environment, KDE becomes a candy. Especially with the KDE Framework on top. 4. Graphical installer with environment selection. 5. Based on Arch Linux (AUR rep... |
2023-03-15 | EndeavourOS | 03-2023 | 9 | 1 | HOW LONG CAN THEY KEEP IT UP? Indeed, this is for my endeavor. (I was raised on American, not British English, sorry only the name of the British ship and this distro would get the extra vowel LOL.) Before 2022 I knew absolutely nothing about Arch Linux and the distros based on it. It has succeeded taking Arch Linux to... |
2023-03-04 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 7 | 0 | Tested the distro with Xfce in VMware. It automatically detected correct keyboard layout and time zone. It's fast and well polished. No bloatware but only the basic necessary stuff pre-installed. Adequate development tools. EndeavourOS may be a good Arch based distro but I think it’s more fun to use the real thing. Bec... |
2023-02-22 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 0 | Normally i use Manjaro. i gave Endeavour a try. Whats missing in comparison with Manjaro: I have Sreen Tearing in the Browser with 4k120Hz Screen. Timeshift with BTRFS install.(rollback if something goes wrong... helps when learning) Own Repos. (tested Software), you can use the AUR in Manjaro too. Tools... (Kernel Man... |
2023-02-17 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 6 | I started using Linux before 2000 with SUSE, after with Ubuntu,Linux mint, and the last 3 years Lmde. I've used Debian-based distributions for many years. I try to moved to arch first with arch bang and after with manjaro. With EndeavourOS I'm extremely satisfied. I very much appreciate the choice of using exactly the ... |
2023-02-17 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 6 | I enjoy using Arch but in order to install vanilla version would take documentation next to me. Endeavour has a friendlier installer that either downloads an updated desktop or there is XFCE on the disk. The install disk can be customized with list of apps to install. It isn't beginner level easy with lots of command l... |
2023-02-14 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 9 | This was my first exposure to an Arch derivative after playing with around 25 Debian distros. I had been staying clear of Arch because I thought the rolling release model would make things break all the time. It does like to update once every day or so, but so far in a couple of weeks nothing at all has gone wrong, eve... |
2023-02-03 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 5 | It is absolutely the best distro I've ever experienced. I've been distrohopped for a year before I met with EndeavourOS. It has an easy installation, and all the benefits of Arch Linux. If you are a distrohopper like me, this distribution will end your distrohopping days! Absolutely, you must try this. After a short pe... |
2023-01-26 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 3 | For me EndeavourOS is the most effective way to use Arch and be up and running ASAP. It feels like it's vanilla Arch, but without having to spend many hours to configure everything. With Arch you ends up worrying that you forgot to think about something subtle but yet critical, while with EOS you are confident that the... |
2023-01-24 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 1 | It is an amazing Arch flavor, can run with my Nvidia driver out of the box, has an easy installation, and has a good choice of packages, aside from that, they have a very good welcome page and enhance the community with Arch. A must-try distro. Coming from Pop OS, they have better support from those who want to use i3w... |
2023-01-20 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 8 | 0 | I am giving Endeavour OS a lower rating than Manjaro because of a grub update problem I had 6 mos. or so ago that broke the system. I have had a harder time with installation than with Manjaro although I liked Endeavour OS almost as much when it worked. I currently have it re-installed on an external drive but am not... |
2023-01-18 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 5 | 0 | If you come from Win$$ and new to Linux "Endeavor OS" is not for you because you will spend your time typing command lines and reading the Wiki... No extensive library of software you will have to constantly type command lines in "Terminal" to install any software that is not present in the few that are supplied with "... |
2023-01-08 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 3 | It's common for a lot of people, with good reason, to advise against using rolling releases. You just need to look back to the GRUB issue that left most systems unusable. Here's where Endeavour is different. They were the first in notify the problem to the user base and to provide solutions, including a change in Cass... |
2023-01-04 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 4 | I started using Linux before 2000. I've used Debian-derived distributions for many years. With EndeavourOS I'm extremely satisfied. I very much appreciate the choice of using exactly the Arch repositories and I believe that the installation process is well done and is the real added value, together with the choice of s... |
2023-01-01 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 3 | I tried a dozen different distros and EndeavorOS is the one I decided to stick with. It is a nice user friendly Arch-based system that isn't Manjaro, and I mean that as a compliment. I used it to bring my 13 year old Dell Inspiron laptop back from the dead along with an SSD upgrade. This old laptop is like a brand new ... |
2022-12-30 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 5 | By far my favorite distro and I have tried quite a few. It's Arch based, but it doesn't do the delaying packages thing that Manjaro does. The installer is nice and less elitist than vanilla Arch, although having said that I don't quite understand the whole "terminal centric OS" with a lovely installer, but no GUI packa... |
2022-12-29 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 9 | 2 | Installed EndevourOS on a 32 GB USB flash drive and found to enjoy a pleasant experience. I am a new user for this distro but Endevouros calamares installer which I have had previous experience on installin Debian distros and found to have no difficulty whatsoever.in the installation stages. I am new to Arch based Dist... |
2022-12-29 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 8 | Endeavour OS has become my new daily driver. It's Arch Linux, made easy. But the big advantage is the community. At the end of the day, Linux is Linux, and most distros are based off of one distro or another (in this case, Arch). Generally speaking, the core Arch community isn't as friendly or helpful, but Endeavour's ... |
2022-12-27 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 4 | I have been a Ubuntu user for over a decade now it’s been.. The last 2 releases forced me to take another look of distros to get Nvidia Optimus working properly. I was distrohopping Fedora and OpenSUSE since they were at the top of my list. I have heard about Arch, but I never had to guts to go that route. Some people ... |
2022-12-27 | EndeavourOS | 22.12 | 10 | 5 | Well, I installed it, because I had troubles with Radeon drivers when I was using ubuntu/debian based distros. No problems so far, although I had to use cinnamon instead of xfce, because of shitty hidpi support. EndeavourOS is fast, lets me use Skaffold, minikube and the rest of the container shittery flawless. pros: ... |
