EndeavourOS “Mercury Neo” released!

After EndeavourOS “Mercury” got released on February 10th, the team behind EndeavourOS has released a March 2025 refresh of the same distribution version, called “Mercury Neo.” It brought updated versions of all applications, including the following:

  • Calamares 25.02.2.1-2
  • Firefox 136.0.2-1
  • Linux 6.13.7.arch1-1
  • Mesa 1:25.0.1-2
  • Xorg-server 21.1.16-1 (xorg)
  • Nvidia 570.124.04-4

This makes sure that your system is up to date with the latest version of all software released with this version of EndeavourOS. Mercury Neo only affects new installs, but the team ensures that your system is running fine if you upgrade regularly.

The xwaylandvideobridge package has been removed upstream, so the install scripts no longer refer to it as it has already been deleted. In addition to that, obsolete NVIDIA-specific boot menus have been removed to clean things up.

For users living in some regions, the Arch mirror ranking stage, which is run before installation finishes, has been fixed so that it can correctly rank some Arch mirrors to prevent installation failures.

For UEFI systems, if you try to install “Mercury Neo” with systemd, the EFI system partition is generated with 2 GB in size instead of the smaller 1 GB size.

A quotation from Zinn

   An optimist isn’t necessarily a blithe, slightly sappy whistler in the dark of our time. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
   And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.

Endeavor Segelschiffära ist schon seit Erscheinung eines meiner Lieblingsspiele. Deshalb ist die Tiefsee als neues Spiel genauso empfehlenswert und kam auch in Schramberg mehrmals auf den Tisch. Mir gefällt die Umsetzung des Themas "Schutz der Meere" und die immer wieder neue Umsetzung des Spielaufbaus, der von den Spielern gesteuert wird. Spiel ich immer wieder gern.
