Yes. It cured mine long time ago.

Same

Are you sure you are distrohopping and not DE hopping?

[u/WolverineEqual6800 → u/nikelreganov]

Little bit of both

[u/lendarker → u/WolverineEqual6800]

DE hopping is *mostly* unnecessary. Sure, some distros specialize in one DE and their chosen preconfiguration may speak to you. But otherwise, you can install pretty much every DE/window manager on any distro.

[u/CriticalRanger9650 → u/lendarker]

Idk, I only know of one distro that carries my wm of choice. But yeah I get what your trying to get at which is that if determined enough anything is possible! Most user I think would rather just take the easy way and not all distros carry all de/wm so distro hopping is the only way to get that exposure to new DE's or window manager's.

I've been using endeavour for like two years now and have no idea what the hooks and scripts are haha

[u/ToniGaroy]

A mi me funcionó.

[u/sagar_dahiya69]

3 years going strong here, on my CachyDevourOS Frankenstein installation.

EndeavourOS base + CachyOS kernel & repos

[u/marxist_redneck → u/[deleted]]

What kind of wizardry is this? Sounds interesting.. been on EOS for 3 years or so, but was curious about Cachy's optimizations - seems like you got the best of both worlds. So CachyOS has some kind of repo that replaces popular AUR packages? Any guides/links you might have?

[u/pomcomic → u/marxist_redneck]

https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/optimized_repos/

There you go, should have everything you need

[u/marxist_redneck → u/pomcomic]

Thank you. Do you mind explaining the AUR part? They have packages that are typically only in the AUR "adopted"/maintained in the cachy repos?

[u/pomcomic → u/marxist_redneck]

Good question. I'm not on Cachy myself, I'm an Endeavour enjoyer, so I don't really know about the AUR part - but it'd surprise me if the cachy devs would park some packages on the AUR instead of their own repos

[u/marxist_redneck → u/pomcomic]

Oh sorry, I thought I was responding to the other commenter, thanks

[u/marxist_redneck → u/[deleted]]

Thank you. Do you mind explaining the AUR part? They have packages that are typically only in the AUR "adopted"/maintained in the cachy repos?

[u/GlutenFreeToaster]

Using the Fedora 42 wallpaper on EOS with plasma feels like some form of heresy

[u/WolverineEqual6800 → u/GlutenFreeToaster]

Lmao I like the wallpaper

[u/GlutenFreeToaster → u/WolverineEqual6800]

Valid. It threw me for a loop at first though

[u/KnightFallVader2]

It will lead you to Arch.

[u/An3l_02]

What icon pack are you using?

[u/WolverineEqual6800 → u/An3l_02]

Fluent

[u/Sp1cyP4nda]

Nothing wrong with distrohopping. May you find exactly what you are looking for and settle for nothing less.

[u/Iputahexonyoulol]

Distro hopping is a terminal disease with no cure. Kidding 

[u/34pasha → u/Iputahexonyoulol]

Terminal, nice pun

[u/French-Builder]

I have been cosy with Endeavour for years now.. At work I use Ubuntu, Ubuntu server and Fedora but can't wait to be back home in Endeavour again

[u/Jawhshuwah]

I've been loving my install of it so far, using hyprland w/ cachyOS kernel and haven't had a single issue yet. Hella low idle usage, always smooth and my bindings make navigation a breeze

[u/Osotlaz]

It cured mine 4 years ago.

[u/WolverineEqual6800]

This is pissing me off because I use the fluent theme. Any fix?

[u/elijuicyjones]

I haven’t even looked back in years.

[u/mythiccoperator]

Cured mine about a year ago ✌️

[u/AndyReidsCheezburger]

Yes

[u/ItsAll2Random]

Yes

[u/Latter_Magician9663]

did i make a mistake switching fron endeavourOS to base arch linux? never used arch before. also i am one week old to arch based system.

[u/YousureWannaknow]

Depends from reasons behind... I was changing distros constantly due to lack of drivers/functions or whatever support I needed. But when it's just about curiosity or thrill... I doubt it will change anything

[u/Late-Mushroom-414]

no but ubuntu fedora poOS endeavour kali redhat debian slack will /s

[u/enomad51]

Distrohopping is not an illness, it's just a hobby :)

[u/j0k0lad]

how do you guys manage to distro hop so often? i would find it sooo annoying. i dont have the time or energy for that.

[u/PacketSniffer99]

Surely it will but don't try any funny stuff yk

[u/WolverineEqual6800 → u/PacketSniffer99]

funny thing is i alr left endeavour

[u/acceptable_humor69]

I'm on endeavour currently, was using kde but just recently swapped the whole thing out for hyprland ... don't know if that counts as hopping or not 😂 ... been here for 3 years now I think I am cured

[u/mindful999]

Usually this goes away when you reach the age of 18 or older, or when you touch grass

[u/dcherryholmes]

I have a mix of vanilla arch, EndeavorOS, CachyOS, Omarchy, and Debian on servers. But I would say that arch-based distros have cured my distro-hopping. I was curious to see what the hype was about Omarchy so I tossed it on my least-used laptop. But basically I haven't moved off EOS and arch in about four years now.

[u/jedi-in-starfleet]

It basically did for me. My next stop was pure Arch but I still use Endeavour on new PCs if I get one.
