“EndeavourOS 0.07%” Let’s goooo! There are dozens of us!!

Recently tried CachyOS on my HTPC. Couldn’t get Sunshine to run. It looked beautiful though and the docs seemed really in-depth. Endeavour (thanks to Arch, I know) is just so stable and fast. Just the right amount of pre-installed stuff like Reflector, yay, the firewall-config app for firewalld with sane defaults, nice BTRFS subvolume layout, correct NVidia drivers. Would be nice to have Limine (for BTRFS snapshots) as an option besides SystemD boot and Grub in Calamares but I installed it in addition to SystemD boot. Gaming works tremendously good. Everything else too. I really can’t recall the last time an update went wrong. On both of my machines (one Intel, one AMD, both NVidia).

You need to install CUDA first, if you have a Nvidia card. Limine is already an option when you install the os.

Thanks. Seems your correct and Sunshine profits from CUDA when using this NVFBC but it doesn’t seem to explicitly depend on it to run. I tried it pretty soon after installing EOS and can’t imagine having installed CUDA so early. Last time I explicitly did it was for Ollama. I just looked on that EOS machine on which Sunshine worked right from the start and no CUDA package is installed but nevertheless nvidia-smi shows CUDA Version 13. This seems to be because the nvidia driver brings the CUDA runtime with it which differs from the big CUDA toolkit. I’ll try CachyOS again when I eventually buy an AMD GPU. I think you meant Cachy when you pointed out Limine is an option while doing automatic partitioning. And yes this worked very good. I meant that Endeavour doesn’t offer at that point in install. Have a nice week.
