EndeavourOS, that little Linux distribution based on Arch, is quite the handy东西 for folks who like their system fast and customizable. It’s got a lot going for it, and I’m here to tell you a thing or two about them desktop environments it offers. You see, EndeavourOS don’t just stick to one kinda look and feel. No sir! It gives you a bunch of options so you can pick and choose what suits your fancy. Now let me tell you a bit more about these here desktop environments, so you know what you’re getting into.
First off, let’s talk about the Xfce. This one’s the default desktop in EndeavourOS, and it’s a good one, if you ask me. It ain’t too fancy, but it works like a charm. If you’re someone who don’t like all them flashy things, this one’s real light on your computer, and it’ll make sure your machine runs faster than a chicken on a hot day. It’s simple, it’s quick, and it don’t take much of your resources. If you ain’t got a super powerful machine, Xfce’s a fine choice. You can’t go wrong with it.
But hey, maybe you like a bit more style, huh? Well, you could try the KDE Plasma instead. It’s one of them pretty ones, all modern-like and full of shiny things. But don’t go thinking it’s gonna slow you down! Nah, KDE is fast, and it lets you tweak almost every little thing about your desktop. You can make it look how you want, and if you’re feeling fancy, you can even install it without needing an internet connection! Now, that’s what I call handy. But, beware if you’re trying to game on Wayland, KDE can sometimes be a little, well… picky. Still, it’s mighty fine for folks who like things their way.
Now, for them who like simplicity but don’t mind a bit of elegance, there’s the GNOME desktop. GNOME’s real smooth, like butter on hot toast. It’s got a clean interface and keeps things simple. You don’t gotta worry about fiddling with too many options – just use it and get things done. Now, if you’re one of them gamers, GNOME works real good with Wayland. So, if you’re into gaming, this one might be just your cup of tea. It’s comfortable, it’s easy, and it don’t get in your way much.
If you like to be a bit more hands-on, though, you could try MATE. MATE’s another solid choice for a desktop, kinda like Xfce, but with a little more polish. It’s based on an older desktop called GNOME 2, so it might remind you of them good ol’ days. It’s great for folks who don’t need all the newfangled stuff but still want something that looks decent and works well.
And then there’s Cinnamon. This one’s got that old-school Windows feel, if you ask me. You got your taskbar, your start menu, and all them buttons you’re used to. If you’re coming from Windows and don’t want to learn all them new ways, Cinnamon’s your friend. It’s simple to use, and yet it don’t lack for style.
If you like things even lighter, you can go with Budgie or LXQt. These are a little less flashy than the others, but still nice. Budgie’s all about elegance, while LXQt’s light and fast. Both are good if you ain’t got a powerful machine but still want something modern-looking. And if you need even less fuss, there’s always LXDE, which is like the bare minimum. But don’t let that scare you – it gets the job done without eating up your computer’s memory.
And don’t forget about i3. Now, this one’s for the real techy folks who like to keep things all neat and tidy. It ain’t no flashy desktop with icons and stuff. It’s a window manager, not a full-blown desktop environment. But if you know what you’re doing, i3 can make you work faster than a jackrabbit on a date. It’s all about tiling windows and having everything in its place.
Now, if you’re wondering how to get any of these desktop environments on your EndeavourOS, it’s easier than you think. You don’t need to be some kind of computer wizard to install or remove them. Just follow a few simple commands, and you’ll be set. If you’re installing one of these desktop environments alongside the one you already have, it’s just a matter of telling the system what to do. You might need to do a little digging to find out which commands work for each one, but it ain’t nothing too tricky.
So, there you have it. EndeavourOS got a whole lotta desktops to choose from. Whether you want something light like Xfce, something pretty like KDE, or something simple like GNOME, there’s something for everyone. If you ain’t sure, you can always try a few of ‘em and see which one you like best. And remember, you ain’t stuck with just one. You can have a few different ones installed, just like you can have different pairs of shoes for different occasions. It’s all about what works for you, and with EndeavourOS, the options are plenty!
