  • Is EndeavourOS a solid choice?

    Anything that’s Arch based is only solid if that’s the way you will drive the system.

    Endeavour is way better than Manjaro since it uses the Arch repos, instead of having parallel repos and delaying a week the updates, so is basically Arch with a Gui installer. Still, tough I understand the appeal to install Arch that way, I think that Endeavour may carry with the hand people that are tech illiterated in the Arch world during the installation, and then it simply abandon they in a system where if you don’t know how it works you will definitely break it. The good part of the long and painful Arch installation process is that it teaches the user about the system.

    Anyway, since nowadays Arch has a functional easy installer, Endeavour is kind of pointless to me.







  • I have this laptop, but mine has an i7 and an gtx1650. That’s a feature that comes with all NVIDIA drivers (I use the open kernel modules) called NVIDIA Optimus. It already switches between GPUs automatically, read the wiki in how to configure it.

    However, there’s a tool called EnvyControl, with it, you can power off the dedicated GPU in boot to save power, instead of simply put it on standby. If you use that, you will need to reboot for turning it on again.

    It isn’t, in fact! It’s just:

    • More Bloated (just compare idle ram after install and quantity of crap pre-installed, like tiktok, bing-chat, and that thing they call "Copilot)

    • Has less design coesion than ever.

    • Has less customisation out of box.

    • Looks like the shit son of Gnome and MacOs

    But sure, it’s almost the same thing.
