I work in IT and my 4 year old retired Dell 5300 is working just fine. Great form factor as well.

Can you elaborate on what pair sessions are?
I personally don’t, but a friend told me it’s his choice for his pop os laptop when he has to work with clients who use Microsoft products. Sounds like it has the best comparability, in his opinion.
Yes, I’m keeping kubuntu on my laptop because it works great. My desktop is going to have to be Windows for now
Honestly, I’m just not a big fan of the DE. I much prefer kde, which is why I went with kubuntu. Still had trouble getting everything to and running though.
Man, I used Ubuntu back on 12.04, but for some reason Linux seems way harder today lol
I mean…I Said windows did it lol.
But for real, I selected to update my firmware from within Windows update. I tried for a couple days, but was not able to recover it. Since I had an HP pre built, I used it as an opportunity to upgrade. I got a new motherboard and a couple parts and I’m back on my feet.
I find that endeavor is pretty nice as someone who typically uses windows…I just can’t wrap my head around not having a GUI for software installs. Like, I want to install jellyfish, but when I search for it, there were like 30 different ones to choose. Installed a package that I don’t want, where do I go to find the exact name of the package and then uninstall?
It was enough to send me to kubuntu, which is what’s on my laptop now. Basically only use the laptop for the web too, so likely no reason to change anything up.
Man, I had fresh imaged windows 11, and windows update nuked my bios. Never again.
I installed endeavor, but the lack of a GUI for installations bothered me. Installed kubuntu last night.
I just installed kubuntu on my daily driver. That didn’t go super well so I tried endeavor, also didn’t go well. It could be kde plasma, but it did not feel like Linux is ready to compete for something that is ready out the box.
That said, I run endeavor on my little netbook tablet and it works a wonder, so no idea. I couldn’t even get steam to load on my desktop for some reason. I tried Linux on my desktop for half a day, then decided to run back to Win11 with my tail between my legs. It just wasn’t with the hassle. Steam didn’t work, permissions for my second hard drive for Plex were messed up. I just didn’t want to have to figure it out. I’m back comfy with windows, and just experimenting with my netbook for the time being.
I really wanted Linux to stick this time… Oddly, I was using Ubuntu on my daily driver back in 2012 without a problem.
I have a Lenovo duet 3 I think… It’s running endeavor no problem.
My personal PC and work PC are windows. I also just accidently removed a lot of my game files, so I figure it’s about time to start over. I’m going for kubuntu this time. I figure it’s going to be easier to get set up and running quickly without much fuss.
That said, I also run endeavor os on a little netbook tablet I have, so I’m dipping a toe there as well.
I’ve never considered a pi for this purpose. Assuming you have either one large or multiple smaller hard drives, physically how do you connect all that to your pi? Thanks!
It’s just difficult to install with a gui
That’s all great info, thanks for taking the time. This is my first go with Arch based. I work with Windows for a living and have used Debian based for years.
Endeavor has had a little bit of a learning curve, but sounds like I’ll be sticking with it.
I know they say they are a terminal based os, but any tips on some equivalent to a software center, or at least where I can find compatable apps?
Thanks for what you’ve already taken the time to write!
I’ve been running endeavour on a little tablet PC with kde. It’s been pretty great overall, but I’ve also gotten interested in Manjaro. Thoughts on how they compare? I read one article that was like, whatever you like better!
Hmm… That’s a good answer, thanks for taking the time! I currently have about 130gb free on my boot drive, and I keep all my data on a separate 4tb drive. Dual booting on the same nvme could possibly be an issue though.
Thanks much!
Hey, you know the keyboard shortcut for endeavor that does the same thing as the Win+X for Windows? That’s always how I shut down our restart my windows PC. I installed endeavor on my Lenovo duet 3 that came preinstalled with win 11 and that is one of the few things I’m missing. Snip with shift+win+s, and the clipboard history would be the others.
I’m debating if I want to dual boot endeavor on my main PC, but I’m not sure about it because my nvme is pretty small. I also networked my kids computer and my garage computer for file shares and I’m not quite sure how well using those windows PCs to get files off a Linux system would work. Thoughts?
I’m running endeavour os on a Lenovo duet 3. It’s fully functional including the gyroscope, which is super damn amazing. Windows basically wouldn’t run, but I feel like a super user when in using endeavor on it. It’s so good.
I’ll only mention it because I haven’t seen it yet, I just installed endeavor os and it’s been pretty Great
Plus one for Dell. I get some 4 year old decommissioned dells from my company and a 5300 is now my daily driver
