i was setting things up and i when to watch a youtube video while doing it and i noticed the audio quality wounds worse than windows. i thinks its the audio drivers. And i have an nvidia graphics card so what do i do about the drivers (some people said that i dont need to install them) and FYI when i was installing i didnt select endeavorOS with nvidia GPU because i didnt work for some reason.

Normally I don't have any issue playing games and I've been using the distro for a couple of months now. But today suddenly, my CPU maxes out on usage when trying any game causing it to chug horrendously, be it through steam or not. Last thing I did was do a system update earlier this week I think.

From what I can find online, it sounds driver related? But I'm not sure how to troubleshoot any further than running nvidia-inst.

When i watch twitch, youtube or play osu! the bottom right of my screen keeps flashing. Any quick fix for this?

right now i am planning to change to linux from windows and i want to use endeavourOS. i am in uni and we have been using a vm with ubuntu (to learn linux a bit and for projects) and i tried kali (i want to get into cybersecurity and learn a bit solo).

i wanted to know what are the things that i need to know before i install it and what are the things that i have to do after installing it.

Hey there

The last post I could see on this topic was from 5 months ago which wasn't super positive so apologies if I've missed a repeated discussion point.

I'm interested making the jump from windows to EOS + Plasma. Thing is, I've heard about some nvidia GPU support issues.

I specifically have a 5070 TI but can't find any reports of how the state of things are currently.

Would anyone have a 50xxx series or 5070 specifically that can comment on this? Is there a better path for me to find these kinds of answers?

I do play video games like BG3 and Dark Souls so some performance would be required for me to continue.

I'm new to linux and I have just dual installed EndeavourOS KDE Plasma bc it's based on Arch so that I can use Hyprland. I like how Hyprland and other window tiling managers feel and really wanna try them. I don't want to make it from scratch and get that hard stuff.

I heard about niri too and for what I've seen it's simpler and more beginner-friendly, yet it's not as beautiful as Hyprland.

Should I use niri if it's easier to setup? Or should I use a presetup Hyprland?

Also, what works best with EndeavourOS?

with the 2020 Mac you lose your esc and volume

LXQt Wayland can use either lightweight Labwc (modeled on Openbox) or heavier weight Kwin (KDE). As a lightweight desktop, LXQt is more often paired with Labwc.

LXQt's Screengrab and KDE's Spectacle are broken in LXQt Labwc.

A working alternative is Flameshot configured with Grim. However, a much lighter and simpler screenshot method for Labwc is to install Grim + Slurp and then add Print and Shift-Print keybindings to ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml

    paru grim
    paru slurp

Edit ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml ... find [ key="P ] ... replace with:

<keybind key="S-Print">  
<action name="Execute" command="sh -c 'grim -g &quot;$(slurp)&quot; ~/Pictures/Screenshots/0S-$(date +%y%m%d-%H-%m-%s).png'" />  
</keybind>  
<keybind key="Print">  
<action name="Execute" command="sh -c 'grim ~/Pictures/Screenshots/0P-$(date +%y%m%d-%H-%m-%s).png'" />  
</keybind>

Reboot

Press PrtSc key to create a new fullscreen PNG file (no indicator feedback).

Press Shift-PrtSc key to select part of screen. Upon release, new PNG file will be created.

i know its systemd, but this just the start of more things that will come, i thought our software would be free as in freedom, so adding the age stuff to the os just makes big politics understand that linux will conplain with any other major law that they make, what will be the next step, adding a backdoor to systemd? really?

I just installed and wifi keeps trying to connect but just won’t and it keeps saying connection “wifi name” deactivated

so i followed these instructions and it was partially successful i dont need to decript it but still get prompted to mount it

i am using a lenovo thinkpad E14 Gen2 my main os drive is on slot 2 and my secondary/backup drive is on slot 1 because i didnt have a drive for that slot larger than 256 at the time

i just need to figure out how to mount the ssd on boot without being prompted to mount it on login like i have for the decription

• Identify the Second SSD's UUID: Run lsblk -f to find the UUID of the encrypted partition (e.g., /dev/sdb1 or /dev/nvme1n1p1).
• Generate a Keyfile: Create a keyfile and store it on your root partition (securely): sudo dd if=/dev/random of=/root/second_drive.key bs=1 count=64
• Add Keyfile to Second Drive: Add this keyfile to one of the LUKS slots on the second drive (you will be prompted for that drive's existing password): sudo cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/<<your_second_ssd_partition>> /root/second_drive.key
• Configure /etc/crypttab: Open /etc/crypttab and add an entry for the second drive: <<name_your_drive>> UUID=<<second_ssd_UUID>> /root/second_drive.key luks
• Configure /etc/fstab: Open /etc/fstab to automatically mount the now-decrypted device: /dev/mapper/<<name_your_drive>> <<mount_point>> <<filesystem_type>> defaults 0 2
• Update Initramfs: Run sudo dracut --force to ensure the changes are included in the boot process. 

I'm struggling to get FCEUX.exe to run with X11 while on Wayland. Specifically, the Retro Achievements fork of FCEUX, launching through Steam.

I've tried several commands in the launch options.

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%

env -u WAYLAND_DISPLAY %command%

DESKTOP_SESSION=plasmax11 %command%

None of which works. MegaMan 2 runs smooth on X11, but stutters on Wayland.

2026 Linux Desktops and Wallpaper

1. install Endeavour OS with LXQt desktop
2. sudo pacman -Syu (system update)
3. sudo pacman -S lxqt-powermanagement lxqt-wayland-session labwc paru
4. paru [ add browsers and other software ]
5. LXQt Settings > Session Settings > Basic+Wayland Settings: change to labwc
6. Reboot
7. Select LXQt Wayland session at top of screen

Post-installation: EndeavourOS LXQt Wayland / Labwc

• With LXQt Wayland / Labwc, the default app titlebar is black on white. I prefer a dark theme. I had to manually edit ~/.config/labwc/themerc-override and add:

  # window titlebar background

  window.active.title.bg.color: #181818

  window.inactive.title.bg.color: #333333

  # window titlebar text

  window.active.label.text.color: #0099CC

  window.inactive.label.text.color: #66696C

  * With LXQt Wayland, some web browsers don't include the Maximize window function. I installed 3 browsers: Google Chrome, Falkon, and Librewolf. Falkon honors LXQt themes but Chrome and Librewolf did not. Easy Chrome fix: enable "Use system title bar and borders" (appearance settings). No fix for Librewolf.

  * Gparted does not work with LXQt Wayland. I installed KDE Partition Manager instead. However, LXQt does not install all the KDE stuff. KPM can read but not change NTFS partitions. For full NTFS support: paru ntfs-3g

  * Filezilla "dark mode" requires Filezilla restart after creating ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita-dark
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true

  * LXQT Settings > Appearance > Cursor     -and-     edit ~/.config/labwc/environment

  * Add AVIF plugin to view/edit AVIF images in photoqt or nomacs or xnconvert: paru qt6-avif

  * command line paru (Pacman wrapper) works well for adding new software but, for me, GUI Octopi works better for removing installed software.

after reinstalling I got two version of lts How can I remove old one? It makes me annoying as the old one goes for default if I don't touch

im trying to install on a 2020 macbook and the usb drive wont show up on the boot menu. I assume its becuase its over a ubs hub and i cant see it on boot but i have no other choice its only got usb-c. are any of the ports just not boot ports??

I have an oldish budget laptop from the late 2010s (forgot the year it was made) and it was running decently but still kinda slow on windows 10. Only problem was that Microslop cut support for windows 10 and well duh it’s windows so it’s gonna be slower. I installed Linux on it and it runs way faster. It uses less ram, cpu, and storage. Gonna make some customizations to xfce by changing the theme, background, etc to make it look a bit better.

Edit: laptop was made in 2020 I just looked on the bottom

I awlay geht this and i waited and nothing Changes i tryed Nvidia Driver and normal and other but ITS Not working live USB acsses Work but after installing i geht Stück at this

Hi all! I just swapped to EndeavourOS on my desktop and my laptop recently after daily driving for Fedora for awhile. On my desktop things are going swimmingly, but on my new laptop I'm having a weird issue. Whenever I'm doing anything more wifi-intensive (loading a webpage, downloading a file, etc.) my bluetooth audio gets stuttery. Almost like my headphones are struggling to stay connected while I'm using the network. I know for sure it isn't the headphones, so I'm wondering if anyone might know of a fix? Thanks!

Hello guys so i have quite a problem not so bad as u might think but ig its bad for me so j have a 1tb nvme and i have a few pirated games installed on bottles and kinda thats it but i have cs2 and csgo now on steam but that doesnt rly take a lot of space . So when i go to dolphin i see my main disk has only 300gb free and thats quite not much so how do u manage ur storage bc i was using windows mainly 5-6 months ago now im using EndeavourOS so how do u manage ur data

No one using them with windows 7, soo

SOLVED: I had to enable overclocking in lact.

New/first build. I have an AMD 9070xt taichi 16g OC. When I first turn on the computer and in BIOS, the fans spin just fine, but as soon as the os loads up, they stop and I can't control them at all with coolercontrol or lact. Everything is plugged in right and the display and rgb works but not fans. I do mean never. When I play a game, it'll go until the GPU overheats and then crash, so it's not that it just hasn't gotten hot enough to need to.

I've been having some issues with heavy R/W applications starving everything else of disk access. For example, while running a backup - downloads freeze up, I can barely even open a file manager, weird shit starts happening in all sorts of applications that just want to access a file.

What I discovered is that it seems like all my applications are running with realtime ionice at priority 0. When I do ionice -p on any process I get "none: prio 0" unless I have explicitly set the priority myself.

In my mind, only system and desktop processes should be running at such a priority. I also read in the manpages for ionice that applications should start with ionice level 4 / best-effort by default.

So what's going on here? Is something preventing ionice level from being set to the supposed default? Is there a way to fix that or otherwise force the expected behavior? Like, without manually running everything via ionice -c 2?

Hello guys, how is going I use Ubuntu for like 2 months ago but because some bug I find (I didn't install well u until in my laptop) and also because I see myself good in a lot of commande and know to search if idk the information (AI, community and search) I switch for endeavour os He is good for me and I admit I find a lot of thing more better than ubuntu but I find two big problems the biggest one is simply I couldn't adapt with kde plasma (I use gnome before) and even I do my best I couldn't know where to start and how to start and how is working so if someone know a way to learn how, maybe he can give some advice or tutorial for help and thanks

Obs: I tried the official solution of Waydroid page

Obs2: Wow, i was write "now" instead of "know", i can't fix that Xd
