        I once to helped troubleshoot an EndeavourrOS user.

        during the process I discovered that their kernel parameters were being reset with every kernel update, this was because Endeavour was using dracut instead of mkinitcpio…

          That’s pretty horrid. They ought to have fixed that since. Right?

          Damn, the last time I used it I could’ve sworn it was just arch with a wizard and some custom dotfiles. Although that was like 3 years ago.

      Nooooo, you will have that heavily bloated Plasma desktop! That won’t run properly on my 4GB Raspberry Pi (it does)!
