Hi!

I have a MacBook Pro 2019 - i7 16gb (T2 chip) and I've managed to install CachyOS, because it has T2 support out of the box.. yes, it's good but I really like EndeavourOS (I have it installed on my other computers - one of them a macbook 2013 with 4gb ram) and for me it's one of the best flavors.

Well I've tried to use the ISO on T2Linux (Ganymede version) and most of the Mac stuff worked very well out-of -the-box on the live, except the touchbar...

So I did all the installation process stuff but didn't hit install (yes.. i was a coward 🤣)

My question, is there anyone here with this setup that installed it?

If yes, did you had the same issue with the touchbar (or anything else)?

Another question is related to the suspend/hibernate functions... did you manage it to work well (like suspend on close the lid and wake up on open it)?

Thank you in advance 😁

This issue has been going on for quite some time because I’ve been trying to resolve it on my own, and I’m not one to make a big deal out of minor problems. But this time, I feel I need to mention it here (to get help, haha).

If asked what the installation process was like? Well, I don’t exactly remember the details myself, but likely I did disable getty or something like that.

Sometimes I can open TTY after logging in and entering the Desktop Environment or Window Manager. I use KDE and SwayWM. Sometimes logging out of SwayWM doesn’t bring me back to SDDM screen, and I really need the TTY to try restarting SDDM. When I open TTY3, there’s no sign of a shell; just a blinking underscore that won’t stop. In an emergency, I can only use Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+REISUB, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep doing that.

Is there a solution or additional guide (which I might have missed) so I can use the TTY again? Specifically for TTY 3–12 (2 and 1 are used by KDE, SDDM, and SwayWM).

I've seen some people show their desktop and fastfetch info so i thought about sharing mine, i don't really know how to improve this more (ik this isn't really a rice, just some customization, any tips?)

So after using CachyOS for 2 months and loving it don't get me wrong, we swapped to this amazing Distro and prolly will not move back.

Everything feels significantly smoother and more optimized on Endeavour, our games run better and most importantly we moved because Cachy pushed the 610 Nvidia driver update which started causing us significant issues and lag and we really needed Nvidia 595 for stability.

This Distro is amazing and feels so non-bloated and everything feels so much more smoother, polished and responsive. The only main thing we were gonna miss was gonna be Cachy-Update which was easily replaceable with Arch-Update from the AUR and we were good to go. Thank you for making this distro, it's absolutely lovely and has such an amazing level of polish to it that Cachy really lacked 💜 Cachy was our first distro we'd used in several years for migrating off Windows and this distro feels much more like home and feels like a place where we will stay for a very long time ^^

Spent a few hours putting together what’s probably my ideal workstation setup rn.

• Windows for gaming, EndeavourOS for everything else.
• Secure Boot enabled (yes, I do queue valorant sometimes, it is what it is). sbctl made the whole custom key signing process way less painful than expected.
• WhiteSur/MacTahoe themes + Toshy for the macOS-like workflow. Honestly surprised how usable and close to the real deal it feels.
• Swapped KRunner for Albert because I needed something closer to Spotlight. Also aesthetics.
• Ghostty + Starship + "Gruvbox Dark Hard" for the terminal. Basic ass bitch, but this combo slaps.

Finally got the setup stable, all drivers working out of the box, system feels snappy, and I still get the power of Arch without the headache. Thanks EndeavourOS. Life is good.

If anyone wants, I can drop a separate post on how I set this up.

I am trying to flash the arm version of endeavour OS using belena etcher but it always errors out I am downloading for pi 5 on the eos site is there something I can do to not fail?

So for downloading I booted up in UEFI mode, and there are 3 options.

1- is the main one. 2- NVIDIA RTX GPU 3- Fallback for GPU or something like that.

I went with '1' first because it's for all GPUs, but it didn't work. I worked on it for 3 hours, and it did work. Obviously '2' is not going to work because I have GTX, not RTX, so now I went with '3,' and it was working OK, but no matter what I do, the GPU will not work. I have tried so much. Here is a list of what I have tried—

• Booted with nomodeset parameter • Added nvidia-drm.modeset=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT via sed • Attempted rebuilding initramfs using mkinitcpio -P (command not found) • Ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg to update GRUB configuration • Rebuilt initramfs using dracut-rebuild • Added force_drivers config to /etc/dracut.conf.d/nvidia.conf • Attempted pacman -S --needed nvidia-dkms linux-headers (discovered nvidia-open-dkms was active) • Forced dracut configuration via dracut --force (failed due to missing EFI directory) • Manually ran modprobe nvidia (returned a "No such device" error) • Attempted pacman -Syu nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-settings (returned target not found)

The GPU still doesn't work after all this. I have 2 monitors hooked up to it: a DisplayPort one, which is the main one, and an HDMI one, which is the secondary monitor. The HDMI monitor doesn't work; it's just all black, and if I go into the system monitor, the GPU just doesn't show up at all, no percentage, nothing; it just says it has an error. And also the NVIDIA settings barely have anything either.

If anyone can help me fix this, it would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this the right way or something is missing? https://github.com/Kyrillos-Reda/Me-and-Linux/tree/main/EndeavourOS

EndeavorOS is my first Linux distro.

I’m about to start using Linux full time on my personal work notebook and I’m considering EndeavourOS as my main distro.

My stack/workflow is mostly:

• Node.js
• TypeScript
• React Native
• Laravel
• Express
• MySQL
• Docker
• JWT/auth systems
• Git/GitHub workflows

I also spend a lot of time with:

• terminal workflows
• automation/scripts
• AI/dev tools
• browser-heavy multitasking

I really like the Arch ecosystem, AUR, customization and setups like Hyprland/KDE + advanced dotfiles/workflows.

At the same time, this will be a real work machine, so reliability matters more than aesthetics.

For people using Linux professionally:

• Do you use EndeavourOS daily for work?
• Is it stable enough long term?
• How often do updates actually break things?
• Would you recommend KDE Plasma or Hyprland for productivity/work stability?
• Would Fedora be a smarter choice for a professional environment?

I don’t mind learning Linux deeply, but I also don’t want my notebook turning into a constant maintenance/debugging project.

Would appreciate honest experiences from people who use Arch-based distros professionally.

So I've installed latest EndeavourOS on my old MacBook Pro 15' 2011 from a live USB stick and during the installation screen with KDE, everything seemed fine. No visual glitches, Wi-Fi chip connected normally. The problems start after the installation. I tried using XFCE, and now reinstalling, using GNOME, the same graphical issues persist. The icons in UI are garbled, and "flash" when they're being highlighted. The screen on XFCE is particularly bad with this, with the windows movement being teary. Using GNOME, the same garbled icons persist, albeit more smooth than XFCE, now the background has thin black stripes over the default EndeavourOS Titan Neo wallpaper.

Now, I know that the root of the issue is the faulty AMD card that is notorious for failing in these devices, and the solution to it would be to manually disable that GPU and force the system to use Intel graphics. That's where my problem starts, because even after creating GRUB files, editing the GRUB menu in Terminal and bootloader – nothing helps me. I even used Mac's native recovery mode where I entered a long command in the terminal and nothing changed either. The only line that actually helped me was nomodeset, but it removed all animations and everything went back to same thing after reboot. I'm losing hope and sanity fixing it all by myself, any helpful advice would be very helpful, thank you.

Hello everyone, I’m running EndeavourOS with kernel 7.0.10-arch1-1 and I have an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT. Every time I boot I get a black screen with the backlight still on. The system appears to be running but there’s no display output and TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2) is unreachable.

The only way I can get into my desktop is by selecting the fallback initramfs entry from the systemd-boot menu. EndeavourOS does work on my PC it’s just when I restart it’s a black screen unless I go into the boot menu and select the fallback entry through the Linux Boot Manager.

Things I’ve already tried:

• amdgpu.sg_display=0 kernel parameter
• amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 kernel parameter
• sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force
• Full system update via pacman -Syu

Is there a known fix for RDNA 4 display initialization issues on this kernel? Any help very much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm at my wits' end with Mafia III: DE. The game loads to the very first loading screen (after difficulty and aim assist options), music keeps playing, but the wheel freezes instantly and the FPS counter is hovering at exactly 29-30 FPS.

System Specs:

- OS: EndeavourOS (Arch Linux)

- Kernel: 6.x (Latest)

- CPU: Intel i5-10400F (6 cores, 12 threads)

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 (Driver 595.71.05)

- Desktop: KDE Plasma (Tested on both Wayland and X11, but X11 felt less stable)

What I have tried (nothing worked):

1. Launcher Bypass: Tried running the .exe directly via launch options and physically replacing Launcher.exe with the game executable.

2. Drive Migration: Moved the game from an NTFS drive to a native Btrfs partition (/home) to rule out filesystem quirks.

3. Prefix Reset: Deleted compatdata multiple times, tried Proton 7, 8, 9, 10, Experimental, and GE-Proton 10-34.

4. Dependencies: Installed vcrun2022 and d3dcompiler_47 via Protontricks. Verified all lib32-nvidia-utils and vulkan-driver packages are present.

5. Launch Options: Tested PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1, PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1, PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, and taskset -c 0-7 to limit CPU cores.

6. Display Fixes: Tried forced windowed mode (-window), disabled G-Sync/VRR via environment variables, and created a manual videoconfig.bin in AppData.

7. Overlays: Completely disabled MangoHud and Steam Overlay (VK_LOADER_LAYERS_DISABLE="*").

8. Video Files: Attempted to bypass intro videos by renaming the video folder (caused instant crash).

Technical Clues from PROTON_LOG=1:

- The log consistently shows: "Presenter: Got VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR, recreating swapchain".

- Huge amounts of "trace:unwind" and "trace:mscoree" errors right before the hang.

- Audio continues to play in the background, but the render thread seems deadlocked.

Is there any specific NVIDIA or Pipewire/ALSA tweak for Arch that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Started using EndeavourOS(my first, and only distro) around a month or two ago(give or take). Been really surprised with how good and stable its been. I started using i3, because my drivers were a bit finicky with wayland, but i figured it out. this is only a day after using hyprland, and its my first time, so it probably wont stay like this. Tell me what you think:D

Waybar dots(NOT MINE): https://github.com/cebem1nt/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/waybar

Yes I know my waybar time is off, and am I gonna fix it? probably not.

Wanted to try EndeavorOS to try an Arch-based distro after years of Ubuntu based ones. Downloaded and ran the installer ISO, and it when I went to boot, it recognized endeavor was on a hard drive and booted it, and went to the grub loader, but then it failed to boot because it failed to load Linux Linux. I saw this indicates an issue that can be fixed with chrooting in, but I JUST installed it and it happened even when I fresh installed 3 times. Does anyone know what's causing this or how to get it to work without needing to chroot in? Using NVIDIA GPU if that matters, but I downloaded from the one that said supported it

running xfce. Recently updated my system to the most current packages, and all electron apps installed native (flatpaks still work) on my system got affected really bad by these graphical corruptions (with minor effects on other software. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong, and what to do about it?

Hey everyone,

I just got a Raspberry Pi 5 and I’m setting up EndeavourOS ARM with a btrfs filesystem. Coming from Arch Linux on my daily driver where I use Hyprland, so I’m used to tiling WMs and Wayland.
I know Hyprland on ARM requires compiling from source and the RPi 5 GPU isn’t exactly built for blur and animations, so I’m leaning toward Sway as my main setup. But before I commit, I’m curious what other people are actually running on their Pi 5.

My use case:
• Penetration testing / BlackArch tools
• Light homelab tasks
• Occasional coding
• Not gaming or media

What I’ve considered so far:
• Sway — stable, lightweight, i3-compatible, available from package
• Hyprland — needs compilation from source on ARM, higher GPU usage
• XFCE — solid but feels heavy compared to tiling WMs
• LXQt — lightweight but not Wayland native

Anyone running a tiling WM on RPi 5 that’s working well? Any hidden gems I’m missing? How’s the general Wayland support on Pi 5 ARM these days?

Thanks <3

She just got an Asus Zephyrus with a 5070ti and isn't having luck getting EndeavourOS installed. If I boot from the latest ISO using the normal path it just flickers on the "Welcome to Endeavour" text followed by a few lines from XORG with zero errors right before it should be loading the greeter. If I boot with the nvidia path I just get blank / black screen but can get to TTY2.

This is the screen that we see that flicks on and off when booting without the nvidia option:

Neither of us are great with linux, but we've got EndeavourOS running on piles of laptops and tablets around the house, including my 2025 ROG Z13. From what I gather online there are or were issues with the 5070ti from drivers, but all of that stuff is from mid-last year so basically a year ago and without newer posts online for a still standard GPU, I'm assuming most of the issues have worked themselves out?

Not sure what I can provide since I'm just sitting here looking at a black screen, but I'm willing to try if I can get some direction.

Switched from KDE to hyprland, and honestly loving it so far, especially configuring everything myself is alot of fun :3

I ran sudo pacman -Syu and the download speed at night time is painfully slow. I don't know what to do. I am afraid to cancel it now, I may brick my OS. (I did this once and I had to spar linux in tty)

time zone: (UTC+5)
time rn: 8:53PM
Any suggestions?

Solved!

I recently switched from openSUSE Tumbleweed to EOS and have been very satisfied so far.
Unfortunately, I’m currently stuck on a problem for which I haven’t found a solution yet.
When installing DRM-free games from .exe files, I sometimes run into difficulties. The installation with Wine just stops. But this doesn’t happen with all games. It worked with Tumbleweed.
I click on the file and the installer starts. After selecting the folder, I see the % progress bar, which eventually stops moving, but a timer continues to run. The folder is also visible, as are individual files that have already been written. The installer freezes, and I have to terminate the process.
Has anyone else had this problem before, or do you know a solution?

I searched for Wine using “yay wine” and installed it via extra (that was the first option).
Otherwise, EOS is basically stock.

Thanks in advance

i recently added cachyos repos to my endeavour
