I haven’t used Linux as a desktop since back in the 2.0/2.1 kernel days, when you were praying the next kernel release would add support for the bits and pieces that made up your kit.

After 2 months of Ubuntu, I decided to dive into Arch and Endeavour has made it made it easy so far!

    Fellow Endeavour user here (with KDE)! Arch is nice, but after installing it so many times it’s just nicer to have something set up for you.

      Exactly, My favourite thing about the Endeavouros is the community forum. Threads range from silly to extremely helpful technical discussions.

      1. Install Arch

      2. Set it up the way you like as an installed baseline system

      3. Boot to your Arch system

      4. Install Arch on a usb drive

      5. Mount the rootfs of the usb to /mnt

      6. dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/arch.iso

      (replace /dev/sda with the drive of your current Arch system)

      1. umount /mnt

      To install your setup, boot to the usb, and type:

      dd if=/arch.iso of=/dev/sda

      (replace sda with the drive you want to install Arch on)

    Best Arch based distro. No extra bs, just very minimal install. These days archinstall does the same job but I really love their community.

    I wish it gave the option to install without dracut as I have no need for it and am unsure how to safely remove it along with residual configs etc.
