[EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/) is a Linux distro based on [[Arch Linux]]. Parent:: [[3. Reference/Software/Operating Systems/Linux/Arch Linux.md|Arch Linux]] - Website - GitHub - Documentation - AlternativeTo > QUOTE # Notability Mainly notable for being perhaps the most popular Arch-based distro other than Arch itself. I have installed it in a VM to have an [[Arch Linux]]-like environment for testing. # Issues ## Surface Studio Attempting to install it on my [[Surface Studio]] resulted in it failing with being unable to run `pacman`. Version tested: `EndeavourOS_Artemis-22_6` >[!NOTE] > [[Garuda Linux]] did not get stuck at the same point, despite using the same installer and also based on Arch. # Philosophy Its website says it is "terminal-centric" but it also supports multiple GUI desktop environments. # Features # Tips See also: [[Arch Linux#Tips]] ## Update Mirrors If mirrors are slow or returning errors, you can run this to get a fresh list: ```sh eos-rankmirrors ``` ## Signature / Corrupted Package Similar to the [[Arch Linux#Pacman Signature Errors]], but specifically for this distro: ```sh sudo mv /etc/pacman.d/gnupg /root/pacman-key.bak sudo pacman-key --init sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux endeavouros sudo pacman -Syy archlinux-keyring endeavouros-keyring sudo pacman -Syyu ``` Force install if necessary: ```sh sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/{archlinux,endeavouros}-keyring*.pkg.tar.zst ``` And verify the keys as needed: ```sh gpg --recv-key 0FC3042E345AD05D ``` # References
