Due to changes in my living situation, I've switched from running Pi-Hole on a headless machine on my network, to running it locally on my main PC.

Pi-Hole is working well; with my networking settings set to use 127.0.0.1 and ::1 to point to localhost for DNS, but I can't boot Waydroid unless I either comment out the dnsmasq lines in /usr/lib/waydroid/data/scripts/waydroid-net.sh, or stop pihole-FTL.service.

Stopping pihole-FTL.service, of course stops Pi-Hole, and commenting out those dnsmasq lines disables networking in Waydroid.

I'd like to be able to get Waydroid running with networking, and preferably get it to use Pi-Hole as its DNS resolver. I understand the reason Waydroid won't boot normally in my case is because it does some weird stuff with dnsmasq and port 53, which conflicts with Pi-Hole.

I should also mention that I'm also using ufw for a firewall, with default deny incoming and default allow outgoing set.

EDIT: Apparently running Pi-Hole in Docker, Podman, or LXC can make this easier, since it resolves the port conflict. I have no experience with doing this, and would like to know more.

Honestly, EndeavourOS is one of the smoothest and fastest Linux distros I’ve ever used.

I’m surprised I don’t see more people talking about it on YouTube.

Is there a reason it’s not as popular as other distros? Or am I just looking in the wrong places?

What do you guys think?

Been tweaking this EndeavourOS + Plasma setup for a while. The whole thing follows the wallpaper: colors, icons, even my avatar get regenerated every time

OS: EndeavourOS (linux-zen)

DE: KDE Plasma 6.7.5 (Wayland)

Panels: Panel Colorizer

Pager: NakDI

Window Decorations: Klassy

Application Style: Klassy

Blur: Better Blur DX + KWin window rules

Colors: kde-material-you-colors

Icons: YAMIS, recolored by a hook script so they always match the palette

Terminal: Konsole

Shell: fish

Prompt: Starship

Fetch: fastfetch

Font: JetBrainsMono Nerd Font

Extras: custom Caps/Num Lock OSD using Plasma's own OSD, Cinnamon-style workspace switch OSD (KWin script)

Wallpaper: https://wallhaven.cc/w/1j61q1

Starship config: https://paste.rs/StLJI

Fastfetch config: https://paste.rs/8BGak

I’m getting a bit tired of seeing all the “OK” messages scrolling across the screen every time I boot EndeavourOS 😂

Is there a way to replace the boot messages with a clean, animated splash screen like Zorin OS has?

I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma. I’d love to make the boot process look more polished.

Any guides or recommendations would be appreciated!

Hello! I'm still pretty new to using EOS so please bear with me.

I've not upgraded in a while, I tried to do it today and keep getting hit with the following:

endeavouros is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: jack2-1.9.22-2 and pipewire-jack-1:1.6.9-1 are in conflict
-> Failed to install layer, rolling up to next layer.error:error installing repo packages

From looking up the error the issue appears to be with the lib32-gstreamer package, as mentioned in the comments here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-gstreamer

I followed the advice there to install lib32-pipewire-jack as I already have pipewire-jack installed. However I am still getting the same error when trying to upgrade.

Posts from people with similar errors said to remove jack2, but if I run "yay -Q | grep jack" I see that I have both the pipewire-jack packages installed, but jack2 is not installed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I’m planning to use KDE Plasma and wondering which one uses less RAM and runs lighter overall.

For those who have tried both, is there any noticeable difference?

Or is it pretty much the same since both use KDE?

Would appreciate your opinions!

Hi all, I'm trying to troubleshoot my built-in webcam on my Dell Latitude 7450 running EndeavourOS, with kernel 7.2.9-arch1-1.

Hardware and driver details:

• Camera sensor: OmniVision OVTI02E1, handled by the ov02e10 driver.
• Camera interface: Intel IPU6 (8086:7d19).
• USBIO bridge creates I²C buses i2c-15 and i2c-16, with devices OVTI02E1:00 and HIMX1092:00.
• Both sensor devices exist in sysfs, but neither has a driver bound.
• The Intel IPU6 driver detects the camera, and creates /dev/video0 through /dev/video47 and /dev/media0, but the camera does not work.

Relevant kernel errors:

ov02e10 i2c-OVTI02E1:00: failed to write reg 253 val 0
ov02e10 i2c-OVTI02E1:00: failed to find sensor: -121
ov02e10 i2c-OVTI02E1:00: probe with driver ov02e10 failed with error -121
gpio_usbio.usbio-gpio usbio.usbio-gpio.0: [Firmware Bug]: GPIO 5 is not in FW pins bitmap

What I've investigated:

• INT3472:01 and INT3472:0c are bound to int3472-discrete.
• INTC10D1:00, INTC10D2:00 and INTC10D2:01 exist but have no platform driver bound.
• No explicit deferred probe or missing-GPIO-provider error appears in the kernel log.
• The ov02e10 module loads, but the sensor probe fails.
• Rebooting exposes many /dev/video* nodes, but they do not correspond to a working webcam.

According to AI: "There may be a Linux driver-binding or camera power-sequencing issue involving the USBIO GPIO/I²C components, preventing the OV02E10 sensor from initialising."

Has anyone got the built-in webcam working on a Dell Latitude 7450 with EndeavourOS/Arch Linux? In particular, is there a known fix for the ov02e10 -121 probe error or the unbound INTC10D1/INTC10D2 devices?

* apparently someone else also has the same issues: https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/issues/457

Mine is from 2008, running EndeavourOS KDE Plasma. Still smooth, and boots surprisingly fast! 😂

Anyone using an even older HDD?

I thought EndeavourOS only needed around 8 GB of disk space, but my system is currently using 19 GB.

How can I safely clear the cache and unnecessary files to reduce disk usage?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is there any browser for EndeavourOS with a Read Aloud feature like Microsoft Edge on Windows?

Extensions are fine too. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Due to a issue with my memory i need a memmap=4K$0xa10eb000in my

/boot/efi/loader/entries/[...]arch1-2.conf

I also ran sudo sed -i '1s/$/ 4K$0xa10eb000/' /etc/kernel/cmdline to get future entries to boot correct untill i recived a eos specific update.

What do i need to do to not get that overwritten?

How do you manage your packages on EndeavourOS?

• ⌨️ Terminal warriors: pacman, yay, paru
• 🖱️ GUI enjoyers: Octopi, Bauh, Shelly, Pamac (yes, I know 😏)
• 🧙 DIY wizards: custom scripts and aliases
• 🙏 YOLO squad: sudo pacman -Syu and hope for the best

What's your weapon of choice?

I’m just curious if there are any other GUI package managers being developed. But maybe text mode is more than enough.

I’m using EndeavourOS with the XFCE desktop environment, and I’ve already updated the system to the latest packages.

However, Firefox still feels noticeably laggy for me. Scrolling doesn’t feel as smooth as it used to, and sometimes the browser feels a bit sluggish even when doing simple things.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue recently?

Or is there anything I should check, such as hardware acceleration, graphics drivers, compositor settings, or Firefox settings?

Would appreciate any suggestions or tips. Thanks!

Does anyone know a fix or work around to make sure the font size is enforced across applications? In some is ok but in others is like ants and can barely see it..

Kde /Plasma and amd GPU.

Hi! I’m using EndeavourOS with XFCE.

Any good game recommendations that run well on Linux?

I’m open to any genre. Thanks!

I'm sick of microsoft. Mint seems fine, but I'm a pretty particular guy with settings, so I figure I want something with a little more control, which I understand the Arch family of distros to provide.

I've heard Arch itself is quite overwhelming, though, so I'm thinking Endeavour is a good compromise given its based on Arch (unless that was misinformation I heard).

I don't expect to do much online gaming with my pc, but definitely single player stuff and modding.

My question is mostly, what entails with this OS? Like just how much do I get out ot it that others don't provide, do you recommend a slightly different OS for me, etc.

Thank you!

Also PC/peripheral specs (in case theres any incompatibility someone notices. Better safe than sorry)

- RX 9060 XT 16gb

- Ryzen 5 7800x3d

- 2x8 DDR5-6000 RAM

- B650em-a WIFI Motherboard

- Epomaker TH80 V2 Pro Keyboard

Do you guys think we might see budget laptop manufacturers shipping EndeavourOS pre-installed in the future?

Could EndeavourOS realistically compete with Windows if it came pre-installed on affordable hardware?

What do you think?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been playing Roblox using Sober on EndeavourOS with XFCE. It used to run really smoothly for me, but recently the game has started feeling very laggy and stuttery.

I haven’t intentionally changed anything in my setup, but the performance has noticeably gotten worse.

I’m getting heavy stuttering and frame drops, whereas before everything felt smooth.

Does anyone know what could be causing this, or have any tips to make Sober/Roblox run smoothly again on EndeavourOS XFCE?

Are there any Sober, GPU, compositor, or XFCE settings I should check?

Thanks!

Нi all. I have a strange issue with a new Bloody v95 mouse. I am on Endeavour OS with Hyprland. The cursor constantly drifts diagonally upwards. It doesn't move straight at all. Other mice work fine.

I’ve been using EndeavourOS recently and honestly, it feels really fast and snappy. I’m actually liking it so far.
I’m just wondering, is it safe and stable enough to use as a daily driver?

I mostly use my PC for browsing, watching YouTube, installing apps, and normal everyday stuff.

I know it’s Arch-based and rolling release, so I’m a bit worried about updates breaking things or causing problems.

For those who have been using EndeavourOS for a long time, how has your experience been?

Would you recommend it for daily use?

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking about using EndeavourOS, but I have a question about updates.

Is it possible to install EndeavourOS and then never update the system at all?

I’m wondering if I can keep using the same installed packages and kernel indefinitely without performing system updates.

I understand there may be security risks and that some applications could eventually stop working, but I’m mainly curious whether the system itself can continue to run normally if I simply never update it.

Has anyone actually used EndeavourOS this way?

What would happen after several months or years without updates?

Thanks!

Only time will tell...
