Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

I'm currently trying out Lite 8.0 RC, and so far it all looks OK although a bit bland (though of course that's easily changed). They've gone for the increasingly common idea of listing programs in the menu by their function instead of by their name (so web browser, image editor, mail client etc.).

I;ve just updated Endeavour Ganymede, and it's definitely not one for slow connections - 1734 MB download in total. All went well though.

^ Did you see what was updated?

If you haven't run an update in a while, you got the full plasma desktop update and linux kernel 7.x in one upgrade.

Not so much specific to EndeavourOS; all Arch-based with plasma desktop would get those updates.

I've heard kernel 7.0 is quite the seismic shift and it is in Debian Experimental right now plus there's new nvidia driver builds that will build on it. Going to try building it on Stable to test it.

As for Arch there's all the latest goodies!

No I didn't. I took a chance and just went with pacman -Syu (maybe I should have learnt from my mistake with ArchBang before I joined this forum, when I did the same thing and borked the whole system; but it seemed to work out OK).

So you gave up Archbang and switched to EOS?
