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.

@stueja der #Tuxedo kam mit vorinstalliertem TuxedoOS. Das hatte ich 1 oder 2 Wochen genutzt, um den Rechner zu testen. Ist KDE - ich mag Gnome/Gtk lieber.

Der Rechner hat AMD CPU und Grafik. In VMs habe ich Fedora und Endeavour getestet und dann #Endeavour installiert (wird offiziell nicht von Tuxedo unterstützt; tut aber bis auf kleinere Hakeleien trotzdem).

Suspend halt nur RAM, da ich keine 64 GB für Swap „opfern“ wollte.

(Wieso NVidia wenn doch AMD-Grafik? 🤔)

#PhotoOfTheDay: #SpaceShuttle #Endeavour Takes Flight

Blue mach diamonds from the main engine nozzles and bright exhaust from the solid rocket boosters mark the successful launch of space shuttle Endeavour 25 years ago on Feb. 11, 2000.

The STS-99 mission crew – including astronauts from NASA, the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), and the European Space Agency (ESA) – were aboard the shuttle.

Visto che ogni tanto mi piace complicarmi la vita, ho deciso di fare un grande passo (almeno per me). Dopo taaanti anni di distro #linux basate su Debian, ho deciso di provare qualcosa basato su Arch e la mia scelta è caduta su #endeavour.
Installazione filata liscia su un veeeecchio MacBook Pro. Ho voluto provare KDE, dopo aver praticamente sempre usato xfce. Ma dopo pochi giorni sono passato a i3wm: amore a prima vista. E tanto da studiare, ma va bene.
