EndeavorOS distribution release 24.04

The release of the EndeavorOS 24.04 project has been presented, replacing the Antergos distribution, the development of which was discontinued in May 2019 due to the lack of free time among the remaining maintainers to maintain the project at the proper level. The installation image size is 2.7 GB (x86_64).

Endeavor OS allows the user to easily install Arch Linux with the required desktop in the form in which it is intended in its standard hardware, offered by the developers of the selected desktop, without additional pre-installed programs. The distribution offers a simple installer for installing a basic Arch Linux environment with the default KDE desktop and the ability to install from the repository one of the standard desktops based on Mate, LXQt, Cinnamon, Xfce, GNOME, Budgie, as well as i3, BSPWM and Sway mosaic window managers . Work is underway to add support for Qtile and Openbox window managers, UKUI, LXDE and Deepin desktops. One of the project developers is developing its own window manager, Worm.

In the new version:

  • Support for using the KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment has been added to the installer and Live environment. In the Live environment, X11 is used to run KDE, and in desktop installations, Wayland is enabled by default, but the option to run using X11 is left.
