EndeavourOS Galileo: Xfce Out, KDE In
|
|
======
|
|
Arch-based EndeavourOS makes interesting changes with its latest
|
|
release.
|
|
A new release for one of the [top Arch-based user friendly Linux distributions][1], EndeavourOS is here.
|
|
|
|
Code-named “ **Galileo** ”, this follows the same naming scheme as we have seen in past releases such as [EndeavourOS 'Cassini'][2].
|
|
|
|
Let's take a look at what 'Galileo' has to offer.
|
|
|
|
## 🆕 EndeavourOS Galileo: What's New?
|
|
|
|
![][3]
|
|
|
|
Even though this release took some time to arrive, this is **a major upgrade with some important changes**. 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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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.

### 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?_
