It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community.
How does the community hear feel about this distribution and the company that has brought it to us?
I’ve been thinking about running EndeavorOS but seeing people here complain about Arch breaking when the AUR is used, makes me shy away from EOS. Do you use packages from AUR and have you had any issues with the OS? Running Tumbleweed right now.
Any problems I’ve had have been my own doing or a weird Nvidia driver issue. Having said that though, I’ve had very very few issues, it has been rock solid!
I’ve got a couple of packages from the AUR but I don’t recall ever having any issues with any of them.
The only real “issue” I’ve had has been related to the Linux Kernel on my main machine (Ryzen 5 3600 & Nvidia GTX1660 TI). For some reason, only the LTS and mainline kernel work, if I try any other kernel I get an error (something to do with Nvidia and my GPU).
Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Next time my machine needs to be wiped, I’m heading towards EOS to give it a try.
So…I’ve just updated my laptop with EOS and now my /efi partition won’t mount. Things definitely can break…unfortunately
Uh oh. How did the partition get deleted from your fstab?
