EndeavourOS is lightweight Arch-based, terminal centric system ready to personalise and a stellar community at your side

Earlier this month, the Linux kernel 6.19 was released, and that was a good excuse to refresh our ISO. And as you can read from the title, the changes for this one were big enough to turn it into a major release with a name that really covers this ISO. Named after the second-largest moon in our solar system, Titan. So, we borrowed Saturn’s largest moon to orbit around our purple Linux space for now. This theme is also reflected in the new wallpaper that was created by our very creative and trusty community member, Unclespellbinder.
Titan’s live environment and offline installer are shipping with:

Calamares 26.03.1.3-1
Firefox 148.0-1
Linux 6.19.6.arch1-1
Mesa 1:26.0.1-1
Xorg-server 21.1.21-1 (xorg)
Nvidia-utils 590.48.01-4
For this release, we cleaned up and streamlined the installation process and added some new big features alongside.

Improved mirror ranking support, including providing an optimised mirror list when the installer is offline
Added hardware detection for all GPUs and VMs
We are now installing additional drivers for all GPUs, including Vulkan drivers and the needed packages for hardware-accelerated video decoding when applicable
GPU drivers are now being loaded early by default
This release also introduces a new tool, eos-hwtool. This is the tool being used by the installer, and it is also available now to all EOS users to install and remove GPU drivers whenever needed.
A very noticeable change also, is the slight increase in size of the ISO in comparison to Titan’s predecessors. It increased from around 3 GB to 3.4 GB. This increase has all to do with the new features we have shipped to create a smoother installation process and has nothing to do with us adding a more “bloated” OS or DE experience. We have stayed true to our very principles in providing an almost clean Linux experience, ready to customise to your needs.

I hope you have fun with Titan, as we’ve had fun creating it for you, and we would like to thank all of our wonderful community members who were involved in giving feedback on our forum/Telegram group, creating and testing this release. We think the world of you!
