A new release of #EndeavorOS (#ArchLinux) announced

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.

Well, it took my 2.35 years, but I think I managed to bork my EndeavorOS install on my main system beyond repair.

God damn, I hate reinstalling my OS.

I installed #EndeavorOS + #Gnome on an old laptop and gave it to my 10 years old kid. And he is using it smoothly! .. Years ago, if I sneezed while using #Linux, I had to recompile the kernel to fix it :D .. What a progress!

I bounced off Kubuntu LTS but I may have found a home in Endeavor OS, which I guess is the exact opposite. It's my first time on an Arch based distro in years, not counting SteamOS.

Sunshine works perfectly, as does everything else so far. It's obviously the most rolling of rolling releases and I'm sure I'll end up breaking it somehow, but until then I'll try and stick with it.

#EndeavorOS
EDIT: I have to remark! THIS IS a super-dumbed-down version of what #Endeavor can do. I mean, it's decked out as #KDE

I can't rem how to use those desktops.
that's #XFCE if you didn't know from the mouse.

looks like mate to me! i dunno. but i have #deskbar auto-collapsing at right - fancy stuff back in 2007 or so! reminds me of my 00's desktops! i hate icons.

#works for me! I can do this. NOte. i'm not bitching about the #Linux #Screenshot software!
maybe i need this!

Hi guys what is the best #Linux OS to play #steam and #gog on a PC?

There are some indie games I would like to play, and I would like an OS that behaves as a console, and you control it through a Joypad.

I read about #SteamOS but it is tied to #Debian Jessie, but the latter is not supported anymore though, is SteamOS still supported?

I thought I could install somethong like #EndeavorOS and run into #GameHub and that's it.
Can I use GameHub with only the joypad? Updates and likes would be done through SSH.

What do you recommend for easy #gamingonlinux?

Thanks

I've been really enjoying my p8 mini laptop. So far it's replaced my other laptops.

Which #OperatingSystem would you like to see benchmarked and audited next on https://everybytecounts.org #Linux #LinuxMint #EndeavorOS #Manjaro

Okay, gonna give #Linux another shot today.

Last time I tried a couple weeks ago, it ended in unmitigated disaster after hours of trying. Let's hope this week goes better. I need to at least get a basic distro working so I can start testing Linux builds of game, even if I can't get it working well enough for day-to-day development.

I'm making a couple changes from last time I tried:

1) I'm simplifying my monitors. I normally have 5 monitors, operating from both the ports on the PCI GPU as well as the built-into-the-motherboard GPU ports. Windows was able to handle that with no problem, but I think it's an uncommon enough setup that it's making Linux choke. I think I can make it work with 4 monitors on just the dedicated GPU.

2) I'm trying more distros. Before I shut down Windows, I'll have 7 different labelled thumb drives: Linux #Mint, #ubuntu, #xubuntu, #PopOS, #Fedora, #EndeavorOS, and #OpenSUSE

Unfortunately, I can't currently switch from NVIDIA graphics cards because of a vendor requirement of one of my clients, so that's just a limitation I'll need to live with.

Here's hoping I can get it to work this time.

Hahaha, the EndeavorOS installer goes out of memory and dies if the system has only 2 GB of RAM.

Just installed #EndeavorOS on an old machine. Won't really play with it until tomorrow, but it feels nice to toy with a slightly new #Linux thing again. The way they setup the toolbar for I3 looks very nice and I might copy some of that to my other machine.

Someone was giving away a bunch of things on the side of the street, managed to find an old PS4 controller. I'm not much of a controller person but I decided to give it a try with #hollowknight. Worked out of the box on #endeavorOS #archlinux

I'm still used to keyboard controls on HK so it's taking some getting used to. The default mapping is a bit iffy imo. But it's been interesting nonetheless. Going to give it a try on #splitgate

After a few years of frustratingly developing on MacOS I'm ready to move back to #Linux. I was using mint around four years ago and I'm considering #EndeavorOS and Void as well. Any suggestions?
