The EndeavourOS knowledge base, the place where you can find our wiki articles and video tutorials, is here as your guideline during your discovery in building your unique and personal system.
A two-step installation using the EndeavourOS ISO and a second step that uses Calamares to guide you through the first steps of installing the system with the option for an online installation with plenty of choices…

Sway, Qtile, BSPWM, Openbox and an EndeavourOS exclusive WM called Worm, created and maintained by a team of community members, are five more options on top of the Desktop environments ready for you to explore…
No matter which method, DE or WM you choose, they all have one thing in common, a basic installation with a modest but powerful selection of (terminal-operated) apps and packages to start your deep dive into an Arch-based system. To highlight some of those…
| Firefox | A powerful free and open-source web browser |
| Pacman | A terminal-operated package manager for the Arch repositories |
| Yay | A terminal-operated AUR helper that installs packages from the Arch User Repository with ease |
| FirewallD | A secure basic firewall using the default public zone running by default |

| Dracut | A highly modular tool for generating initramfs images, which easily can be manually converted to mkinitcpio, if needed |
Our Welcome app will guide you to information needed for your first steps into the system and also provides you with some handy tools you will be able to use even beyond your initial set-up…
Discovery is our knowledge base to help you further in setting up the system to your needs, but we also have a warm and very helpful community on our forum, Matrix, Mastodon, Twitter, and Telegram group to answer your questions…
