There is good coverage of installing alternative DEs and Desktop managers in the Endeavour OS Wiki on the web site. In addition, they have a great presentation of the Kalu app, also on the wiki. I like Kalu enough that I am installing it on all of my arch-based systems. Overall, I really like the Endeavour OS environment, the use of the Calamares installer, and the beginnings of great support on the Wiki. PS: When installing endeavour, you do not need to partition the disk first, Calamares will handle that for you. The pop-up on the initial screen is deceptive. It is best to use the installer on the main taskbar to initiate the installation. Just my thought after using this DE for 2 weeks.

Just installed Endeavour earlier today myself after about 4 years of Ubuntu-based distros, and it was definitely the foot in the door I needed to the Arch world. I had tried Manjaro a couple weeks ago, but was trying to use pamac-gtk to install AUR packages, and it was constantly complaining and choking on dependencies and needing a lot more babysitting than yay (the command line AUR installer that comes with this) did. Now I'm pacman'ing and yay'ing from the command line like a pro.

I tried Endeavour OS out last week. Thought the theming wasn't too bad, I've seen better looking XFCE desktops though.
The real problem came when I noticed that it does not have a graphical package manager pre-installed, which is a major
issue for a supposedly 'user-friendly' and 'beginner-friendly' distro. I'm not chastising it, I know this is only the first release,
but they really should have GNOME Software or Pamac pre-installed for graphical package management.

today I installed, it was a long way, becouse I chosed multiple wm-s and de-s. After I get no error and the installation was completed, I noticed, that grub does-nt work any more. After searching for solutions I get my ubuntu started, which was as second system on second drive, but attempting to start endou...os ends in kernel panic be'couse of not be able to recognize the disk drive. Interesting experience...

I'll reconsider Firefox when they don't judge users on the plugins they install by banning plugins from their store...or firing people because they support something outside of their job capacity. Freedom is not forcing people to agree with an ideology no matter what it is. Mozilla does not support freedom...and until they I won't support them and will continue to use Brave.

For Arch it doesn't get any easier. I gave it a spin since I wanted to upgrade my Mint Linux install anyway, thus it was perfect timing. Looks good too. Seems very, insanely fast on my i5 6300u ultrabook. I do like that it's fairly minimal to boot, it's at least functional. But agreed VLC would be a better choice, but it's a beautiful desktop. Not bad for a first go around.

All those popups would really annoy me. I'd have to shut all that off. I'll check for and do updates when I feel like it. I like XFCE and they make it look pretty sleek right out of the box. I'm glad this installation is a bit light as well. I don't like how some distros include a ton of extra software that I won't use and have to uninstall.

17:11 - RIP terminus-font.
Good to see that this distro ships it by default, but it have been stricken as well by Pango 1.44 xD
DT, what are your thoughts about all this FreeType/Harfbuzz shenanigans and Pango devs dropping support all of a sudden without really making a big deal out of it?

the problem i keep having with this distro is the installer fails every other time I try to install any desktop environment that isn't xfce, which enevitably sends me back to manjaro as i'm just not feeling brave enough to try a raw arch install just yet.

I think the problems you had in Antergos was that cnchi (the Antergos installer) was sometimes failing to auto-update when the live environment booted. There was a fix to just update cnchi in the live environment, and then running it.
