The most obvious one being the transition to KDE Plasma, and the dropping of Xfce, more on that later. + +**The developers decided to make EndeavourOS leaner than before** , cutting down several pre-settings, but still letting you easily jump start with Arch Linux. + +Some **key highlights** of this release include: + + * **Welcome App Improvements** + * **Calamares Installer Tweaks** + * **KDE Plasma replaces Xfce** + + + +### Welcome App Improvements + +![][4] + +The welcome app that shows up while installing has been improved, it now features a dedicated **language selection option** on the bottom left. + +The icons were also updated, and the installer now features KDE Plasma by default. + +### Calamares Installer Tweaks + +![][5] + +In line with KDE Plasma being made the default, the [Calamares][6] installer on EndeavourOS Galileo **only allows one desktop environment/window manager to be installed** during the installation process. + +This was done in a bid to mitigate the issues arising out of conflicting packages post install. You **can still install other desktop environments/window managers** after the installation is complete. + +That's not all, the **developers have also removed community editions from the installer**. So, variants such as **Sway** , **Qtile** , **BSPWM** , **Openbox** , and **Worm** are not available to install via Calamares anymore. + +They had to be dropped because most of the original devs have left the project, and no one else picked these up. Luckily, **you can manually install these community editions** from their [GitHub page][7]. + +### KDE Plasma replaces Xfce + +![][8] + +Going forward, **KDE Plasma will be used as the default desktop environment** for running on the live environment and the offline install option, replacing Xfce. + +Don't worry, **you can still install Xfce during the installation of EndeavourOS** , the screenshot shown earlier is proof of that. + +As mentioned by the devs, the reason behind this move was the following: + +> To make development and maintenance easier for the team, we switched to KDE Plasma instead of Xfce due to a more native experience for our developers with the Calamares installer. + +### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements + +Here are some other highlights worth noting: + + * **Local Hostname Resolution** is enabled on a new installation. + * Implementation of stronger **LUKS2 encryption** when systemd-boot is selected. + * The **permissions for EFI partition** were made stricter in a bid to avoid bugs. + * The **package selection screen** on Calamares has been restructured to be more intuitive. + + + +You may go through the official [announcement blog][9] to learn more about the “Galileo” release. + +## 📥 Get EndeavourOS Galileo + +This release of EndeavourOS is available from the [official website][10], they have also **added new download mirrors** around the world for better accessibility. + +[EndeavourOS Galileo][10] + +### Impact on existing users? + +No. The changes that have arrived with this release only affect new installs, the installer, and the live environment on the ISO. + +**Upgrading to Galileo is not mandatory** , existing users who update their systems regularly should be fine. + +_💬 What are your opinions of this release? Was dropping Xfce a good idea?_ + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/endeavouros-galileo/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/arch-based-linux-distros/ +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/endeavouros-cassini/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_1.jpg +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_2.png +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_3.png +[6]: https://calamares.io/ +[7]: https://github.com/EndeavourOS-Community-Editions +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_4.jpg +[9]: https://endeavouros.com/news/slimmer-options-but-lean-and-in-a-new-live-environment-galileo-has-arrived/ +[10]: https://endeavouros.com/
