No one using them with windows 7, soo

Hey everyone! 💜

EndeavourOS is hands-down the best distro I've ever used, and this community is the friendliest out there. To give something back and help newer or less terminal-savvy users, I built the Bamboo End Store (Community Edition).

It’s an unofficial fan project designed to make software management beautiful and effortless.

satodu.github.io/bamboo-end-store/

What it does:

• Flatpak & AUR Integration: Browse, install, and update apps easily (Flatpak can be toggled in settings; AUR uses yay).
• AppImage Manager: Seamlessly integrates, launches, and uninstalls AppImages (handles desktop entries automatically).
• Lightweight & Fast: Smart caching for instant searches and a clean Shadcn UI (Zinc) aesthetic.
• Native App: Built with Laravel, Livewire, and NativePHP. Includes system info in the sidebar.

Quick Install
yay -S bamboo-end-store-bin

Yes, I used AI as an architectural co-pilot during development, but it definitely wasn't a "one-prompt-generated" app.

As a software engineer, I used it piece by piece to brainstorm design patterns, structure specific classes, and continuously review code blocks. Every single class and variable was carefully planned and written with Clean Code principles in mind. Nothing is automated or generated blindly; every build is done manually by me, and I’m constantly working on continuous improvements.

This project was built with a lot of care and affection for this community. (And yes, the text for this post and the static website structure were also polished with AI to make sure my English was clear and respectful of the sub's rules!)

I'd absolutely love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

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

I really want ESPECIALLY eos with something like icewm or i3 on this thing. Maybe I’ll mess with a distro itself to make it lighter. Any tips how to?

Like I said in someone else post that I would eventually get the Cachy kernel on Endeavour and that moment is finally here! Note I will say this is on an experimental/testing laptop and not on my main pc. I was almost on the fence in switching to Cachy but like most Linux users would do is not give up and start tinkering until you finish what you started and finally get the full satisfaction! Starting to slightly get more comfortable with EndeavourOS. My still standing problem is getting Cups to work for printing. Once that is solved I might switch from ZorinOS to EndeavourOS full time.

I tried installing endeavourOS on my old laptop (celeron n2840, intel hd graphics, 2gb ram) using the online installer, since it lets me select lxde. After starting the install, it fails stating that installation has failed because "Failed to run pacstrap". I have the error log though which is here http://termbin.com/rrhs TIA EDIT: I tried almost everything and it didn’t work. The only thing I isn’t try was the offline installer, since KDE has really bad performance issues on this laptop. Thanks everyone for the help but I give up.

Im gonna install endeavouros on this laptop with xfce or something lighter. Laptop still works… sorta.

Hello all,

This installation is the final step in a long project that took me a month of research and soul searching to come across. At the recommendation of a few videos on Google and other forums, I settled with Endeavour being my first test of Linux.

I didn't want to do it on my own system at home at first, lest I crash and burn my own PC, so I am using this Lenovo 300e 2nd Gen that's about to EOL with ChromeOS. After I run out of updates and use for it, I'll fully gut ChromeOS for this one.

Anyone else running a dual boot USB set up? If so, how's it going? I'm loving the UI so far - as Plasma matches closely with my Steam Deck OLED. Can't wait to see what I can get into with this.

does the installation give the choice to install niri ?

is it raw ? does it come with a shell ?

Hey everyone,

I recently stumbled uponthis video by Max Huand I'm completely blown away by how clean and aesthetic the setup looks [00:08].

From looking at the terminal info, it seems like the base operating system is EndeavourOS, and it's using the Hyprland window manager with the Arc-Dark theme and Fish shell [00:08].

As someone who is pretty new to Linux, I wanted to ask:

1. Is it a terrible idea for a complete beginner to try and jump straight into something like EndeavourOS with a tiling window manager (Hyprland)?
2. If I wanted to achieve this exact look (dark minimalist aesthetic, floating windows, status bar, color schemes, etc.), what would be the best step-by-step path to learn what I need without completely breaking my system?

Any advice, guide recommendations, or warnings for a beginner would be hugely appreciated!

It feels so much snappier than fedora for some reason

If I were to dual boot on different disk, one on EndeavourOS and one on Windows. which one is the first to be installed?

I have two NVME drives, one with Windows (UEFI) and one which is completely empty.
I want to use the empty drive for EOS, and I'll need to switch between to the systems pretty often (basically daily).

From searching online, I get that I should use GRUB, and from my understanding the steps I should take are:

• Install the second NVME
• Disable Secure Boot
• Boot from the USB with EOS
• Start the installer and pick GRUB

Afaiu, I shouldn't do anything with the empty drive from Windows, as the EOS installer will deal with it. (So no partitioning or shrinking).

What I'm confused about is what I should do in the drive section, as "Erase Disk" seems to be the most logical option when using a completely different and unused drive, but I see many talking about manually creating an EFI partition or picking "Install alongside", while others just say to pick the right drive and select "Erase Disk" (Focusing on the 2 disk setups).

I can't unplug the Windows drive so I just want to make sure I have everything clear and prepared.

Will I need to also select the drive with Linux as the main boot device once this is done? So that I can always pick between the two OSs, as from what I get, GRUB would be on the second drive only.

Yes this is all very newbie but I like having things clear, have patience ;-;
A step-by-step guide would be useful

Thanks in advance to anyone reading ^^

That was tuff, manually installing EOS and modifying was not easy

I have an Asus Tuf A15 laptop

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for EndeavourOS install guides that include details on configuring Btrfs. I want to use snapper and btrfs assistant to handle snapshots. I will be using Grub and I want to have btrfs snapshots in the grub menu.

Just installed EndeavorOS on my little Asus Vivobook 14.

Like the look of the distro with KDE Plasma. Snappy. No frills. Exactly what I needed for my work computer.

I will keep you posted on how this goes.

So far this has been the only distro I've been able to smoothly install on this little computer.

Hello iam running into an issue when installing the Os.

Iam using a Thinkpad T14 gen 2 with ryzen 7 pro 5850U and 32gb of ram

any thing not good?

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an annoying issue with my dual boot setup on an HP Victus laptop.

My setup is:

- Windows installed as the primary operating system.

- EndeavourOS installed alongside Windows.

- GRUB installed as the bootloader.

The issue is that whenever I power on the laptop, it boots directly into Windows. The GRUB menu never appears automatically.

The only way I can boot into EndeavourOS is by repeatedly pressing Esc during startup, then F9 to open the HP Boot Device Options menu. From there, I manually select the GRUB boot entry, and EndeavourOS boots normally.

So GRUB itself is working, it just isn't being used as the default boot option.

What I'd like instead is:

- GRUB should appear automatically when I turn on the laptop.

- It should have a 5 second timeout.

- If I don't choose anything, it should boot Windows by default after the timeout.

- If I select EndeavourOS, it should boot normally.

Has anyone run into this on an HP Victus (or other HP laptops)? Is this most likely a UEFI/BIOS boot order issue, Windows Boot Manager taking priority, or something else?

If you've solved this before, I'd really appreciate any advice on how to make GRUB the default bootloader while still keeping Windows as the default operating system in the GRUB menu.

One more thing to update- I also have LUKS encryption encrypting the whole EOS partition

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm an EndeavourOS user with KDE Plasma. I'm still a beginner, and I'd like to try Niri.

I tried installing Niri, but I couldn't get it to work properly. When I started Niri, I only got a gray screen and couldn't do anything.

What would you recommend I do? Is there something I need to configure before starting Niri on EndeavourOS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I recently built a new computer and after trying out Linux Mint on my laptop for a year, I've left Windows for good. I have been trying to install debian (now endeavour) for a few days and consistently getting failures.

My specs are:
AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT
ASUS TUF Gaming B550
Vengeance LPX 2 x 8GB of RAM
ONI LUMI Arc B580 12GB GDDR Graphics Card
Team Group NV5000 M.2 2280 1TB SSD

If this helps, while I was trying Debian, the installer said there it had "failed to mount and detect root"

I apologize for the unprofessional noobie photo on my monitor, I was not able to find a way to download or copy from the screen.

Is there something I am missing? I really need some help.

I'm trying to install EndeavourOS on an external SSD (223.57 GiB) without using a separate USB drive. Here's my setup:

What I did:

1. Used ventoy on the external SSD to boot the EndeavourOS installer

2. During installation, I manually created 3 GPT partitions:

   - EFI boot: 512 MiB (FAT32, /boot/efi)

   - Root: 50 GiB (ext4, /)

   - Swap: 8 GiB (linux-swap)

3. Clicked Install

Errors I got:

- First error: "Failed to erase filesystem signature on partition '/dev/sda1'" - couldn't delete the old Ventoy exFAT partition

- Second error (after trying to create new partition table): "Failed to create partition table on CT240BX500SSD1" - command `sfdisk --wipe=always /dev/sda` failed

Current situation:

The installer can't seem to wipe/recreate the disk properly. The SSD still has Ventoy partitions that won't delete.

Questions:

- Is it possible to install directly from Ventoy without a separate USB?

- Do I need to completely wipe the SSD before the installer can work?

- Should I use a different approach (like gparted beforehand)?

- Any workarounds for this setup?

Thanks in advance!
