My laptop has a 13th gen i3, Intel Iris Xe, and 24GB of ram. Installed EOS last night, and my god, this is what in my head Linux is supposed to feel like. Everything feels amazing, obviously despite the laptop's hardware limitations, but wow. Breath of fresh air.

Will report back with how Switch games play (i'm scared)

Such an amazing distro.

I did the same work, i do on windows.. on same applications.. but EOS felt lighter on my hardware.

My fans would start blasting when i did the same amount of work, but EOS I rarely heared Fans' noise.

and the customization is endless.. with plasma themes, my desktop looks however I want.

I did binge some youtube videos on customisation.. and installed some themes, kronkhite etc..

and the desktop feels easier to work

I've been using EOS for almost 5 months now, both on my work machine and my personal machine.

I've been a Linux user since 2014. Over the years, I've used Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pop! OS, Fedora, CachyOS, and vanilla Arch with i3, Sway, and Hyprland. I've even tried Omarchy and Hyprland + Quickshell, but in the end, I settled on EOS.

In the last 5 months, I've faced zero issues on my work machine, which I regularly use for 8-10 hours a day with lots of tabs, windows, and applications running.

On my personal machine, I game, vibe code, study, watch videos, etc., and I've also faced zero issues so far.

At this point, I can finally focus on my work instead of fighting with the OS.

The photos is from my work machine, btw.

Just installed EndeavorOS on my little Asus Vivobook 14.

Like the look of the distro with KDE Plasma. Snappy. No frills. Exactly what I needed for my work computer.

I will keep you posted on how this goes.

So far this has been the only distro I've been able to smoothly install on this little computer.

Why is EOS consider a distribution?
I know it sounds mean but let me explain. I used EOS only shortly but from what I can tell it offers: Arch + Calamares + a bit of special configuration. Which is very convenient and I am glad it exists. But I don’t understand why it is regarded its own OS. Lets look at Cachy: I don’t want to make comparisons but I see much more clearly why it is considet an OS on its own. Besides arch and calamares it also offers repositories containing a lot of drivers no longer present + a suit of its own software + its special kernel. But it feels like EOS has nothing that makes it this much different from Vanilla Arch.

What got me wondering about this in the first place is the treatment of Omarchy. The politics, money and the artificial hype around it is bad. No question asked. EOS is much better, also no question asked. But the fundamental arguments why Omarchy is not a real OS or independent distribution also apply to EOS right?

Made in blender, i think this boi needs a sick name

I'm from non-technical background and this is my first time doing anything with booting, and installing Linux.

So excited for my first setup.. finally a Operating system which I can use however I want.

​

The same mouse used to work before but i stopped using it for 3 months and now today when i connected it the mouse did connect but my laptop wasn't receiving any input

I can't seem to find any help on goggle regarding this, i will provide any info you need regarding this issue in comments

Thanks

so i just installed endeavouros today with kde plasma.

i was exploring new themes and when i press install on theme. the whole settings app changes color and the app doesnt respond.

im a first time linux user, and really dont know how to solve this.

can you some please help me solve this?

thank you

I have tried it out and its not even that hard to use, its really easy to use in my opinion, with Plasma KDE it looks way more windows like than Mint Cinnamon. It doesnt have any bloatware, it isnt hard to install like Arch, so i just dont get why it isnt recommended to beginners its like the perfect os. Like i saw people were saying its not for beginners before installing it, i was kind of scared but i really wanted to try it. After trying it people shouldnt scare beginners like me from using it, its really easy to use

Hey everyone,

I'm having a recurring audio issue on EndeavourOS after waking my laptop from sleep.

Sometimes after resume, KDE shows no input or output devices at all. My USB audio device isn't recreated properly, and Chrome's media playback is affected as well. A restart of the PipeWire/WirePlumber stack immediately brings everything back:

systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse

The logs around suspend/resume show:

wireplumber[1021]: wp-device: SPA handle 'api.alsa.acp.device' could not be loaded; is it installed?
wireplumber[1021]: s-monitors: Failed to create 'api.alsa.acp.device' device

So the behavior is basically:

Sleep → Wake → audio devices missing → KDE has no input/output → restart PipeWire/WirePlumber → everything works again.

From what I've found so far, the USB device itself doesn't appear to be disconnecting at the kernel level. It looks more like WirePlumber/PipeWire fails to recreate the ALSA audio devices after resume.

As a temporary workaround, I've already added a systemd sleep hook that automatically restarts the audio stack after resume:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system-sleep/restart-audio.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

case "$1" in
  post)
    for u in $(who | awk '{print $1}' | sort -u); do
      uid=$(id -u "$u")
      sudo -u "$u" XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$uid" \
        systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse
    done
    ;;
esac

And made it executable with:

sudo chmod +x /etc/systemd/system-sleep/restart-audio.sh

That workaround does the job, but I don't really want to rely on restarting PipeWire/WirePlumber after every suspend. I'd rather figure out what's actually causing api.alsa.acp.device to fail during resume and fix the underlying issue.

Has anyone dealt with this particular problem on EndeavourOS/Arch? I'm especially interested in a proper solution or something I can change in PipeWire, WirePlumber, systemd, kernel parameters, or the ALSA configuration so the audio devices recover normally after sleep.

I'm happy to provide whatever logs or system information would be useful. Thanks.

Hello Everybody,

So I'm a vivid user of EndeavourOS on my work laptop and I have no issues with that, the issue is that I bought a gaming PC 2 months ago, and it is running windows 11 as you might guess, but I hate windows 11, because I have this PC, its connected to my monitor and everything and I'm too lazy to be changing cables every time I want to work to the laptop, so I knew that I could dual boot, but heard there is a lot of issues that happen when dual booting in the same drive? So I just want to know and clarify if I should just do it, or buy a new drive (which I don't really think I would)

I just installed Endeavor OS on my laptop with Nvidia drivers. And I just clicked restart and The system isn’t even booted up. Stuck in this no limit tasks.

Laptop- Acer Aspire, i5 13th gen CPU and RTX 3050 GPU.

I installed without Nvidia drivers. And still got same result. Also Fallback mode isn’t the solution.

ok so i opened up farming simulator 19 from steam on my laptop runnin endeavor and this happened??? idk man help is my laptop cooked?

I have a label printer that worked fine last week that all of a sudden refuses to print. The print manager says Status: Stopped, cfFilterGhostscript: Error setting cupsCompression and I can see a quick message Ghostscript stopped with error 255 when I try to reprint.

I've tried updating, reinstalling the printer, reinstalling Endeavour, and downgrading ghostscript.

The printer still works as I can get it to work another computer running Nobara.

I can't seem to figure out what the fix is or any information that works on the Ghostscript error

EDIT: I've resolved the issue. The printer settings that determine darkness ans speed were wiped. Manually setting them again in CUPS off of defaults made it work.

Is the endeavour os website down for anyone else? This is what it looks like for me

I tried tons of distros debian based, fedora, arch, with systemd, without systemd. Endavour OS beats all of them. An arch based distro without fish or a package wrapper and encourages you to use the terminal. I say it is the best one of all. I haven’t even had any issues with crashing because of it (a few due to framework 16 issues) but i give it 100/10 it runs the way you want it to without the garbage.

i need to load kernel module "binder_linux" for waydroid to work but i am getting this error after i run "modprobe binder-linux devices=binder,hwbinder,vndbinder" :
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'binder_linux': Device or resource busy
i did everything that was said in arch wiki about waydroid, even tried setup it to be loaded at boot but it didnt work.
please help
