From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Endeavour OS "Galileo Neo" is out with new ISO spins to incorporate the Linux 6.7 kernel. This doesn't affect existing Endeavour OS users who proactively update their packages but is intended for new users and those deploying new installations that may depend upon newer hardware support found in Linux 6.7, such as for Intel Meteor Lake systems.

There is the Linux 6.7.1 Arch kernel build found in the new ISO as well as the latest Calamares 23.11 series installer, Mozilla Firefox 122 as its browser, Mesa 23.3.3 open-source graphics drivers, X.Org Server 21.1.11, and the NVIDIA 545.29 proprietary driver is also available. There are also various bug fixes incorporated into these new ISOs.

EndeavourOS is by far my favorite distro I've ever used. I can't fault it.

I was using it for around 6 months until recenly hopping to Fedora Onyx. EOS has honestly replaced vanilla Arch for me, it just does so much for you.

What does it have over base Arch?

[–] NoisyFlake@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's basically base Arch with a graphical installer and some reasonable (but optional) default packages.
