Post Installation
EndeavourOS proclaims that it installs only a minimal set of apps. Here’s df showing the installation has consumed slightly less than 6GB of disk space.
We’re prompted with the Welcome app to complete various post-installation tasks.
Many of these tasks are very important to complete including updating mirrors and updating the system. Other things like changing wallpapers are definitely optional.
As EndeavourOS is a rolling distro, there are lots of updates that should be installed immediately.
As the updates change core system packages, we need to reboot the system.
After using the system for a while, it’s worth selecting the Package cleanup configuration. This runs a pacman cache cleaner service manager.
The AUR is enabled by default in EndeavourOS. And yay, an AUR helper, is also already installed.

I like EndeavourOS doesn’t force its branding on users like Manjaro does.
Agreed, when Manjaro decided to put its branding on the terminal, I simply dumped Manjaro and moved over to a different Linux distro. That’s the beauty of Linux.
