The Dutch Linux distribution EndeavorOS has been released in the latest version 22.6 and carries the Codenamed Artemis. For the first time ever, the ARM version merges with the main version.

Linux 5.18 and Mesa 22 as the foundation

The approximately 1.9 GB basic system of EndeavorOS 22.6 (“Artemis”) comes with the free desktop Xfce 4.16, which was completely overhauled in December 2020, and is essentially based on the latest system kernel Linux 5.18.5-arch1-1, which also comes from the substructure of Arch Linux. Gamers can especially look forward to new graphics drivers and the latest graphics stack Mesa 22 with Vulkan 1.3.

In addition to the Xfce desktop, there is the current Gnome 42, KDE Plasma 5.25, MATE 1.26, LXQt 1.0.0, Cinnamon 5.4 – known from Linux Mint -, Budgie 10.5 and the desktop from China's most widely used distribution Deepin, the Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) , and the particularly resource-saving window manager i3 to choose from.

    • Update of packages

    • Like Arch Linux, EndeavorOS comes as a rolling release “out of the box” with the latest software packages
      • Applications such as the open-source browser Mozilla Firefox 101.0.1 and e-mail -Client Thunderbird 91.10 are up to date.
      • The same applies to runtime environments and libraries such as Mesa 3D and the programming language Python.

    The new resource-saving window manager “WORM”, which was developed and is maintained by the EndeavorOS community, is still in its infancy.
