EndeavourOS is moving to KDE Plasma for its live environment and offline installer from Xfce. You’ll hear no complaints from me!

    EndeavourOS is the distro that stopped my distro-hopping addiction. Installed it over a year ago and haven’t left since. Now this made me love it even more. KDE plasma has come along ways. I think Nate Graham has a lot to do with the progress Plasma made. Dude is awesome (so is every other volunteer of course).

    I plan to switch soon from Manjaro to Endeavour, and hadn’t yet decided whether I wanted to stick with Xfce. Well, with this endorsement plus reports of good overall performance I think I’ll give Plasma a shot 🙂

    At some point I’ll probably need something that supports Wayland, but their custom XFCE is so nice, I love it

    Plasma is very lightweight, so no complains here. Although they could implement some convenience-stuff, like Kwallet as default keyring + autostart via dbus. Or a keyfile, so you don’t have to enter your password twice, in case you use full-disk encryption and a swap partition. Small things, but I see little reason not to do it like that. It’s stuff that’s trivial for powerusers but scary for the less experienced.

    There is a default? I installed it at least 5 times in the last year and I don’t remember doing more than clicking a single button to choose KDE, but I had to choose at some point. But my memory is shit
