Like, if it were possible for it to open applications before you even clicked them, I am certain that it would.KDE has become super lightweight in recent times, but also having a minimalistic system without a lot of bloat really makes a huge difference. If you want a distribution that has a hundred different programs and utilities out-of-the-box, you're not going to like EndeavourOS, but for those of you who prefer a minimalistic system you can install only what you want on, this should be quite fine for most. I had to manually install an office suite for example, but it did come with VLC, Elisa music player, Dragon Player video player, XSane scanner utility, and a handful of default KDE utilities included. It really doesn’t get much easier than this.ĮndeavourOS is not quite as minimal as Arch Linux, but it’s definitely more minimal than many other distributions. The Calamares installation utility found in numerous other distributions is the one used here, and it makes installations such a breeze.It took less than five minutes to install, and there was not a single hiccup or issue. The EndeavourOS installation from a live-usb that I created was extremely simple. There are also community Editions available through the installer on the same ISO that support other desktop environments during installation, so unless you use some pretty obscure environment, good chance your favourite will be available.įor this installation and review I opted for KDE Plasma. The offline installation comes with a customized Xfce desktop that actually looks really nice in my eyes, and is well organized and designed, or you can use the online installation option and choose your environment of choice during the installation process. EndeavourOS can be installed either offline or online from the same ISO.
