[基于 Arch Linux 的最佳用户友好型发行版](https://itsfoss.com/arch-based-linux-distros/) 之一，EndeavourOS 现已发布版本更新。


该版本代号为 “<ruby> 伽利略 <rt>  Galileo </rt></ruby>”，沿用了我们在过去的版本中见过的类似命名方案，比如 [EndeavourOS “<ruby> 卡西尼 <rt>  Cassini </rt></ruby>](https://news.itsfoss.com/endeavouros-cassini/)。（LCTT 译注：伽利略、卡西尼都是著名天文学家，这些名字和这个操作系统的名称“<ruby> 奋进 <rt>  Endeavour </rt></ruby>” 也都是航天器的名称。）


让我们来看看 “Galileo” 有什么新特性。


### ? EndeavourOS Galileo: 有些什么新东西?


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/24/151142evrr8cnv2neyjvyy.jpg)


尽管这个版本花费了一些时间才发布，但这是**一次重大升级，带来了一些重要的变化**。其中最明显的变化是转向了 KDE Plasma，以及放弃了 Xfce，稍后我们将详细讨论这一点。


**开发者决定使 EndeavourOS 比以前更为轻巧**，削减了一些预设设置，但仍然让你可以轻松地入门并使用 Arch Linux。


这个版本的一些**主要亮点**包括：


* 改进了 “欢迎” 应用
* 调整了 Calamares 安装程序
* KDE Plasma 取代 Xfce


#### 改进了 “欢迎” 应用


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/24/151142in4npp9n3p4kpdne.png)


在安装过程中显示的 “欢迎” 应用已经改进，现在它在左下角具有专门的**语言选择选项**。


图标也已更新，安装程序现在默认使用 KDE Plasma。


#### Calamares 安装程序调整


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/24/151143de9exne9m5eem4tq.png)


为了配合 KDE Plasma 成为默认选择，EndeavourOS Galileo 上的 [Calamares](https://calamares.io/) 安装程序**在安装过程中只允许安装一个桌面环境/窗口管理器**。


这是为了减轻安装后出现的冲突软件包问题。**安装完成后，你仍然可以安装其他桌面环境/窗口管理器**。


这还不是全部，**开发者还从安装程序中移除了社区版本**。因此，像 **Sway**、**Qtile**、**BSPWM**、**Openbox** 和 **Worm** 这样的变体无法通过 Calamares 安装了。


之所以不得不放弃这些变体，是因为大多数最初的开发者已经离开了这个项目，也没有其他人接手。幸运的是，**你仍然可以从它们的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/EndeavourOS-Community-Editions) 手动安装这些社区版本**。


#### KDE Plasma 取代 Xfce

未来，**KDE Plasma 将成为默认的桌面环境**，运行在立付环境和离线安装上，取代了 Xfce。


不用担心，**在安装 EndeavourOS 的过程中仍然可以选择安装 Xfce**，前面显示的截图就是证明。


正如开发者所述，这一举措背后的原因是：



> 
> 为了使团队更容易进行开发和维护，我们转而使用 KDE Plasma 而不是 Xfce，因为对于我们的开发人员来说，使用 Calamares 安装程序能带来更原生的体验。
> 
> 
> 


#### ?️ 其他变化和改进


以下是一些值得注意的其他亮点：


* 在新安装上启用了 **本地主机名解析**。
* 当选择 systemd-boot 时，实施更强大的 **LUKS2 加密**。
* 为了避免错误，对 **EFI 分区的权限** 进行了更严格的限制。
* Calamares 上的 **软件包选择屏幕** 已经重新调整，更加直观。

### 对现有用户有何影响？


没有。这个版本带来的变化仅影响新安装、安装程序和 ISO 上的立付环境。


**升级到 Galileo 不是强制性的**，定期更新系统的现有用户应该不会出现问题。


? 你对这个版本有什么看法？放弃 Xfce 是一个好主意吗？

A new release for one of the [top Arch-based user friendly Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/arch-based-linux-distros/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), EndeavourOS is here.

Code-named “**Galileo**”, this follows the same naming scheme as we have seen in past releases such as [EndeavourOS 'Cassini'](https://news.itsfoss.com/endeavouros-cassini/).

Let's take a look at what 'Galileo' has to offer.

## 🆕 EndeavourOS Galileo: What's New?

![a screenshot of endeavouros galileo](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_1.jpg)

Even though this release took some time to arrive, this is **a major upgrade with some important changes**. The most obvious one being the transition to KDE Plasma, and the dropping of Xfce, more on that later.

**The developers decided to make EndeavourOS leaner than before**, cutting down several pre-settings, but still letting you easily jump start with Arch Linux.

Some **key highlights** of this release include:

**Welcome App Improvements****Calamares Installer Tweaks****KDE Plasma replaces Xfce**

### Welcome App Improvements

![a screenshot of endeavoros galileo welcome app](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_2.png)

The welcome app that shows up while installing has been improved, it now features a dedicated **language selection option** on the bottom left.

The icons were also updated, and the installer now features KDE Plasma by default.

### Calamares Installer Tweaks

![a screenshot of endeavouros galileo calamares installer desktop selection screen](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_3.png)

In line with KDE Plasma being made the default, the [Calamares](https://calamares.io/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) installer on EndeavourOS Galileo** only allows one desktop environment/window manager to be installed** during the installation process.

This was done in a bid to mitigate the issues arising out of conflicting packages post install. You **can still install other desktop environments/window managers** after the installation is complete.

That's not all, the **developers have also removed community editions from the installer**. So, variants such as **Sway**, **Qtile**, **BSPWM**, **Openbox**, and **Worm** are not available to install via Calamares anymore.

They had to be dropped because most of the original devs have left the project, and no one else picked these up. Luckily, **you can manually install these community editions** from their [GitHub page](https://github.com/EndeavourOS-Community-Editions?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

### KDE Plasma replaces Xfce

![a screenshot of endeavouros galileo system information](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/11/EndeavourOS_Galileo_4.jpg)

Going forward, **KDE Plasma will be used as the default desktop environment** for running on the live environment and the offline install option, replacing Xfce.

Don't worry, **you can still install Xfce during the installation of EndeavourOS**, the screenshot shown earlier is proof of that.

As mentioned by the devs, the reason behind this move was the following:

To make development and maintenance easier for the team, we switched to KDE Plasma instead of Xfce due to a more native experience for our developers with the Calamares installer.

### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements

Here are some other highlights worth noting:

**Local Hostname Resolution**is enabled on a new installation.- Implementation of stronger
**LUKS2 encryption**when systemd-boot is selected. - The
**permissions for EFI partition**were made stricter in a bid to avoid bugs. - The
**package selection screen**on Calamares has been restructured to be more intuitive.

You may go through the official [announcement blog](https://endeavouros.com/news/slimmer-options-but-lean-and-in-a-new-live-environment-galileo-has-arrived/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) to learn more about the “Galileo” release.

## 📥 Get EndeavourOS Galileo

This release of EndeavourOS is available from the [official website](https://endeavouros.com/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), they have also **added new download mirrors** around the world for better accessibility.

### Impact on existing users?

No. The changes that have arrived with this release only affect new installs, the installer, and the live environment on the ISO.

**Upgrading to Galileo is not mandatory**, existing users who update their systems regularly should be fine.

*💬 What are your opinions of this release? Was dropping Xfce a good idea?*
