![]() The Forums on its website are broken up into easily-recognized groupings, and they have many users in the community and contributors from the project that appear active in the forums answering questions that come up. The project is very open in saying that they will happily answer any questions, saying, “Stupid questions simply don’t exist with us, we’re happy to help you through your system and the terminal commands from beginning to end in a friendly manner.”įrom what I can see, this is absolutely true. You can learn about the AUR, package management, hardware and networking issues, Bluetooth, Nvidia support, and can even add more useful applications right from that welcome page. The EndeavourOS Welcome Tool gives you access to a huge range of documentation through links to the project’s website. ![]() I would be remiss if I didn’t emphasize the excellent Welcome tool. These are little details, but those things add up. I can see this being useful to describe more in detail, because a non-technical or new user may choose too little Swap to hibernate their system or more Swap than necessary and take up a lot of unnecessary space on their disk. You can use a Linux system without Swap, but my guess is that the average new Linux user doesn’t have enough RAM to be totally safe if they don’t have Swap on their disk.Īdditionally, a new user could get a little confused by the difference between the options of “Swap (no Hibernate)” and “Swap (with Hibernate).” Swap with Hibernate is only necessary if you plan to fully hibernate your system, mostly common on a laptop. This is something that could be potentially harmful to a new user, as they may not understand what Swap is used for and why the Linux Kernel will use Swap even in systems with copious memory. There is one sticky part of the installer, and it’s something I would like to see some documentation on. Options make sense by default, and it’s easy to navigate. The EndeavourOS Calamares installer is simple and easy to follow, in keeping with the theme. The choice is yours, and your control is respected throughout the process. ![]() If you have very few resources on your system, you can go straight for i3 window manager. If you are looking for a beautiful desktop, you may find yourself choosing Deepin or Budgie, but if you’re looking for the ultimate in customization, you may choose KDE or XFCE. It could be intimidating, but I could also see that because it’s available, it can inspire the experimentation and customization that makes Linux so great.Īnother great thing about choosing between these desktop environments is that you can choose the one that’s best for your system. Given that one of the great things about Linux is just how customizable it is, introducing this to new users like this is great. This to me is one of the coolest features of EndeavourOS. In some cases it helps to run this as root for first connecting devices to be able to use them.You can choose between XFCE, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE, GNOME, Budgie, Deepin, LXQT, and i3. There is also the default CLI tool to manage Bluetooth connected devices: If you want to have Bluetooth enabled by default and start the service immediately: Sudo systemctl enable bluetooth –> Enables to start Bluetooth when booting the machine (permanent) Sudo systemctl start bluetooth –> This is only for single session use. To use Bluetooth you will mainly need to enable it for use by default to start on every boot, or start it for a single session to use it only once: Sudo pacman -S -needed bluez bluez-utils pulseaudio-bluetoothĪnd install graphical GUI tools to configure and manage Bluetooth:īlueman (gtk) recommended for GTK based īluedevil (qt) ĭEs like KDE/plasma and GNOME ship their own Bluetooth GUI by default. If you are using pulseaudio (older installs or manual switching to pulseaudio): If you are using pipewire (default since Atlantis release): In case you want to make sure all packages are still installed or you may remove some, using custom install e.t.c. With this, you can handle Bluetooth devices over CLI tool bluetoothctl most Desktops will have some setup in there setting tools, if not see at the bottom about And install graphical GUI tools to configure and manage Bluetooth. Sudo systemctl enable bluetooth # to enable per default, will run after every boot. Sudo systemctl start bluetooth # to start it for the session will stay disabled after reboot. ![]() To be able to use Bluetooth you need to start the service or enable it if you need Bluetooth running on every boot: Needed packages are installed by default, but it is in their default disabled state. We do not enable Bluetooth by default, because of several security risks, and to prevent unneeded power consumption.
