From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Regular Endeavor users can chime in, but it wasn't super "stable" over the past couple years, but I think mostly because it's easy to misconfigure and cause conflicts. It's meant to be highly configurable and variable without a lot of guardrails (I know they were adding most automation awhile back). If you know how to diagnose and fix basic issues that come along with that, I'm sure you'll be fine.
I’ve been using it for about 4/5 months and it’s been rock solid for me.
I used it for over a year:
idk how many times it failed to boot after an update
the update script just died one day and I had to remember to manually
mkinitcpioor it would fail to bootit would crash or freeze occasionally
PS
The oldest woman smoked until she was like 110, that doesn't mean smoking isn't bad for your health.
I'm using endeavourOS too, I didn't even know there was an update script. We don't all just use pacman?
I don't know the specifics, but when you
-Syuand there's a kernel update, at the end of the update it will run some additional commands. I'm pretty sure that's normal pacman behaviour, but I haven't used vanilla Arch in a while. At that pointmkinitcpiowould fail silently, I couldn't boot afterwards, and there were no warnings about it. Running the command manually would work without an issue and allow me to boot again.EOS uses standard pacman and the kernel is the standard Arch package. It is identical.
Great to hear.
1.5 years using it on main laptop, work and leisure (I don't game).
Sometimes, wifi stopped working after an update. Restarting a second time fixed it. Broadcom..
I've set up snapshots, but I only used them once.
Other than that, it ran nicely. Fresh versions of everything, snappy with zen kernel.. Haven't really tinkered with it. I just used it as is.
Ok, thanks. I already found the tool nvidia-all, which allows me to use old driver 535 until the big wayland regression is fixed (hopefully soon). With that out the way, switching the rest of my software to Arch should be easy.
Also you don't need that on arch /endevour. There are old nvidia drivers on the aur (I'm in the same situation than you and use those)
