EndeavourOS Moving to KDE Plasma by Default
EndeavourOS Moving to KDE Plasma by Default
Our latest refresh ISO, Cassini Nova R3, released in September was supposed to be the last one under the Cassini codename family. Before I go on, yes we are Arch-based, and therefore we are a rolli…
EndeavourOS is moving to KDE Plasma for its live environment and offline installer from Xfce. You'll hear no complaints from me!
I use EndeavourOS with KDE and it's wonderful!
Does anyone know offhand the issues Calamares has with Xfce?
"KDE Plasma offers a more native development experience for the team and therefore it is easier to maintain. This is the main and only reason for this switch"
As a user I switched from KDE to XFCE, and found it to be an improvement. But I've never done any development involving Xfce.
EndeavourOS is the distro that stopped my distro-hopping addiction. Installed it over a year ago and haven't left since. Now this made me love it even more. KDE plasma has come along ways. I think Nate Graham has a lot to do with the progress Plasma made. Dude is awesome (so is every other volunteer of course).
Great news. Seems that most of the community uses KDE anyway, so this should make things faster for most installations
At some point I'll probably need something that supports Wayland, but their custom XFCE is so nice, I love it
Does it use systemd-boot by default?
Last I installed it, it had it as the default with an option to use I believe grub.
Can confirm
Awesome, thanks!
There is a default? I installed it at least 5 times in the last year and I don't remember doing more than clicking a single button to choose KDE, but I had to choose at some point. But my memory is shit
This only applies for the offline installation
I'm using EndeavourOS with Sway
