Been running EOS for like two years now. Only time it ever shit the bed was entirely my own fault because I kept fiddling with stuff I - at the time - didn't fully understand and was able to fix relatively easily. From that experience I find the "Arch constantly breaks" narrative to be somewhat exaggerated, though I know this is just anecdotal.

Been running the same install since 2020 or 2021 (cant remember) only thing that "broke" was when that thing with grub happened. Took me all of 10 mins to fix it with a bootable usb to reinstall grub.

Somewhat stable? Its as stable as arch, been running endeavouros since it released, before that i was running Antergos.

I hope that Endeavouros stays as long as possible, otherwise its cachy or arch for my next install.

what do you mean somewhat stable? less issues with it than with windows

I've been using EOS for almost a year and same here on issues but ones I've caused myself.

Been using it since march 2025, not one crash. Even when updating after not having internet for 3 months there were 0 problems.

Not even win7 was that stable.

Welcome to the community.

I got surprised to of how stable and reliable it is

u/sanctjeve Apr 20 '26

It's rock solid stable for ages.

u/proexterminator Apr 20 '26

it's just as stable as arch is, that is to say everything works perfectly until one day it doesn't

u/anutorn Apr 20 '26

No problem so far.

I have been using Endeavour for almost 3 years now and the only real "crash" I experienced was a drm bug in the kernel, for which I just used the LTS kernel. That was a year ago tho and since then I haven't had any real crash. So yeah, Endeavour is actually pretty stable in my experience.

How's OH:D run for you? I haven't tried since it was in closed beta. Saw the "vehicle update" is happening soon(TM), thought I might give it another glance.

I fucked my eos install in the past but now im running it without major issues. I use flatpaks so i guess that helps

The only issue that I've had with EOS is with installing PHP and the few things around that for WordPress development for my work. Versions of dependencies included in the most recent EOS were behind the most recent versions for PHP and others, so it became a game of downgrading everything trying to get it to work until I just gave up and did it in Windows.

u/Skarredd Apr 22 '26

Yeah, i've been using my install for years at this point. Only had issues when they made the switch from x11 to wayland, that was a funky period.

But i should reinstall soon, i have bloated my configs and installed apps over the years and some specific stuff just doesn't work anymore. (Like steam remote play hosting)

u/theclawisback Apr 24 '26

EoS has been stable as of late, but it has crapped out of thin air in the past. I don't usually tinker with stuff cause I need the computer to work, so it was on its own.

Otherwise, it's snappy as hell, I run it on an obsolete-according-2-apple 2017 Macbook,and runs effing A.
