EndeavourOS：填补 Antergos 在 ArchLinux 世界留下的空白

我相信我们的大多数读者都知道 [Antergos 项目的终结](https://itsfoss.com/antergos-linux-discontinued/)。在这一消息宣布之后，Antergos 社区的成员创建了几个发行版来继承 Antergos。今天，我们将着眼于 Antergos 的“精神继承人”之一：[EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/)。


### EndeavourOS 不是 Antergos 的分支


在我们开始之前，我想非常明确地指出，EndeavourOS 并不是一个 Antergos 的复刻版本。开发者们以 Antergos 为灵感，创建了一个基于 Arch 的轻量级发行版。

根据 [这个项目网站](https://endeavouros.com/info-2/) 的说法，EndeavourOS 的诞生是因为 Antergos 社区的人们想要保持 Antergos 的精神。他们的目标很简单：“让 Arch 拥有一个易于使用的安装程序和一个友好、有帮助的社区，在掌握系统的过程中能够有一个社区可以依靠。”


与许多基于 Arch 的发行版不同，EndeavourOS 打算像 [原生 Arch](https://endeavouros.com/info-2/) 那样使用，“所以没有一键式安装你喜欢的应用程序的解决方案，也没有一堆你最终不需要的预装应用程序。”对于大多数人来说，尤其是那些刚接触 Linux 和 Arch 的人，会有一个学习曲线，但 EndeavourOS 的目标是建立一个大型友好的社区，鼓励人们提出问题并了解他们的系统。

### 正在进行的工作


EndeavourOS 在 [2019 年 5 月 23 日首次宣布成立](https://forum.antergos.com/topic/11780/endeavour-antergos-community-s-next-stage) 随后 [在 7 月 15 日发布第一个版本](https://endeavouros.com/endeavouros-first-stable-release-has-arrived/)。不幸的是，这意味着开发人员无法将他们计划的所有功能全部整合进来。（LCTT 译注：本文原文发表于 2019 年，而现在，EndeavourOS 还在持续活跃着。）


例如，他们想要一个类似于 Antergos 的在线安装，但却遇到了[当前选项的问题](https://endeavouros.com/what-to-expect-on-the-first-release/)。“Cnchi 运行在 Antergos 生态系统之外会造成严重的问题，需要彻底重写才能发挥作用。RebornOS 的 Fenix 安装程序还没有完全成型，需要更多时间才能正常运行。”于是现在，EndeavourOS 将会和 [Calamares 安装程序](https://calamares.io/) 一起发布。


EndeavourOS 会提供 [比 Antergos 少的东西](https://endeavouros.com/what-to-expect-on-the-first-release/)：它的存储库比 Antergos 小，尽管他们会附带一些 AUR 包。他们的目标是提供一个接近 Arch 却不是原生 Arch 的系统。

开发者[进一步声明](https://endeavouros.com/second-week-after-the-stable-release/) :



> 
> “Linux，特别是 Arch，核心精神是自由选择，我们提供了一个基本的安装，让你在一个精细的层面上方便地探索各项选择。我们永远不会强行为你作决定，比如为你安装 GUI 应用程序，如 Pamac，甚至采用沙盒解决方案，如 Flatpak 或 Snaps。想安装成什么样子完全取决于你，这是我们与 Antergos 或 Manjaro 的主要区别，但与 Antergos 一样，如果你安装的软件包遇到问题，我们会尽力帮助你。”

### 体验 EndeavourOS


我在 [VirtualBox](https://itsfoss.com/install-virtualbox-ubuntu/) 中安装了 EndeavourOS，并且研究了一番。当我第一次启动时，我看到一个窗口，里面有关于安装的 EndeavourOS 网站的链接。它还有一个安装按钮和一个手动分区工具。Calamares 安装程序的安装过程非常顺利。


在我重新启动到新安装的 EndeavourOS 之后，迎接我的是一个彩色主题的 XFCE 桌面。我还收到了一堆通知消息。我使用过的大多数基于 Arch 的发行版都带有一个 GUI 包管理器，比如 [pamac](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur/) 或 [octopi](https://octopiproject.wordpress.com/)，以进行系统更新。EndeavourOS 配有 [kalu](https://github.com/jjk-jacky/kalu)（kalu 是 “Keeping Arch Linux Up-to-date” 的缩写）。它可以更新软件包、可以看 Archlinux 新闻、可以更新 AUR 包等等。一旦它检查到有更新，它就会显示通知消息。


我浏览了一下菜单，看看默认安装了什么。默认的安装并不多，连办公套件都没有。他们想让 EndeavourOS 成为一块空白画布，让任何人都可以创建他们想要的系统。他们正朝着正确的方向前进。

### 总结思考


EndeavourOS 还很年轻。第一个稳定版本都没有发布多久。它缺少一些东西，最重要的是一个在线安装程序。这就是说，我们无法估计他能够走到哪一步。（LCTT 译注：本文发表于 2019 年）


虽然它不是 Antergos 的精确复刻，但 EndeavourOS 希望复制 Antergos 最重要的部分——热情友好的社区。很多时候，Linux 社区对初学者似乎是不受欢迎甚至是完全敌对的。我看到越来越多的人试图与这种消极情绪作斗争，并将更多的人引入 Linux。随着 EndeavourOS 团队把焦点放在社区建设上，我相信一个伟大的发行版将会诞生。


如果你当前正在使用 Antergos，有一种方法可以让你[不用重装系统就切换到 EndeavourOS](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-to-switch-from-antergos-to-endevouros/105/2)


如果你想要一个 Antergos 的精确复刻，我建议你去看看 [RebornOS](https://rebornos.org/)。他们目前正在开发一个名为 Fenix 的 Cnchi 安装程序的替代品。


你试过 EndeavourOS 了吗？你的感受如何？

I’m sure that most of our readers are aware of the [end of the Antergos project](https://itsfoss.com/antergos-linux-discontinued/). In the wake of the announcement, the members of the Antergos community created several successors. Today, we will be looking at one of the ‘spiritual successors’ of Antergos: [EndeavourOS](https://endeavouros.com/).

## Endeavour OS is not a fork of Antergos

Before we start, I would like to make it very clear that EndeavourOS is not a fork of Antergos. The developers used Antergos as their inspiration to create a light Arch-based distro.

![Endeavouros First Boot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/08/endeavouros-first-boot-800x600.png)

According to the [project’s site](https://endeavouros.com/info-2/), EndeavourOS came into existence because people in the Antergos community wanted to keep the spirit of Antergos alive. Their goal was simply to “have Arch installed with an easy to use installer and a friendly, helpful community to fall back on during the journey to master the system”.

Unlike many Arch-based distros, EndeavourOS is intending to work [like vanilla Arch](https://endeavouros.com/info-2/), “so no one-click solutions to install your favorite app or a bunch of preinstalled apps you’ll eventually don’t need”. For most people, especially those new to Linux and Arch, there will be a learning curve, but EndeavourOS aims to have a large friendly community where people are encouraged to ask questions and learn about their systems.

## A Work in Progress

EndeavourOS was [first released on July 15th](https://endeavouros.com/endeavouros-first-stable-release-has-arrived/) of this year after the project was first announced on [May 23rd](https://forum.antergos.com/topic/11780/endeavour-antergos-community-s-next-stage). Unfortunately, this means that the developers were unable to incorporate all of the features that they have planned.

For example, they want to have an online install similar to the one used by Antergos but ran into [issues with the current options](https://endeavouros.com/what-to-expect-on-the-first-release/). “Cnchi has caused serious problems to be working outside the Antergos eco system and it needs a complete rewrite to work. The Fenix installer by RebornOS is getting more into shape, but needs more time to properly function.” For now, EndeavourOS will ship with the [Calamares installer](https://calamares.io/).

EndeavourOS will also offer [less stuff than Antergos](https://endeavouros.com/what-to-expect-on-the-first-release/): It’s repo is smaller than Antergos though they ship with some AUR packages. Their goal is to deliver a system that’s close to Arch an not vanilla Arch.

![Endeavouros Updating With Kalu](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/08/endeavouros-updating-with-kalu-800x600.png)

The developers [stated further](https://endeavouros.com/second-week-after-the-stable-release/):

“Linux and specifically Arch are all about freedom of choice, we provide a basic install that lets you explore those choices with a small layer of convenience. We will never judge you by installing GUI apps like Pamac or even work with sandbox solutions like Flatpak or Snaps. It’s up to you what you are installing to make EndeavourOS work in your circumstances, that’s the main difference we have with Antergos or Manjaro, but like Antergos we will try to help you if you run into a problem with one of your installed packages.”


## Experiencing EndeavourOS

I installed EndeavourOS in [VirtualBox](https://itsfoss.com/install-virtualbox-ubuntu/) and took a look around. When I first booted from the image, I was greeted by a little box with links to the EndeavourOS site about installing. It also has a button to install and one to manually partition the drive. The Calamares installer worked very smoothly for me.

After I rebooted into a fresh install of EndeavourOS, I was greeted by a colorful themed XFCE desktop. I was also treated to a bunch of notification balloons. Most Arch-based distros I’ve used come with a GUI tool like [pamac](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-aur/) or [octopi](https://octopiproject.wordpress.com/) to keep the system up-to-date. EndeavourOS comes with [kalu](https://github.com/jjk-jacky/kalu). (kalu stands for “Keeping Arch Linux Up-to-date”.) It checks for updated packages, Arch Linux News, updated AUR packages and more. Once it sees an update for any of those areas, it will create a notification balloon.

I took a look through the menu to see what was installed by default. The answer is not much, not even an office suite. If they intend for EndeavourOS to be a blank canvas for anyone to create the system they want. they are headed in the right direction.

## Final Thoughts

EndeavourOS is still very young. The first stable release was issued only 3 weeks ago. It is missing some stuff, most importantly an online installer. That being said, it is possible to gauge where EndeavourOS will be heading.

While it is not an exact clone of Antergos, EndeavourOS wants to replicate the most important part of Antergos the welcoming, friendly community. All to often, the Linux community can seem to be unwelcoming and downright hostile to the beginner. I’ve seen more and more people trying to combat that negativity and bring more people into Linux. With the EndeavourOS team making that their main focus, a great distro can be the only result.

If you are currently using Antergos, there is a way for you to [switch to EndeavourOS without performing a clean install.](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-to-switch-from-antergos-to-endevouros/105/2)

If you want an exact clone of Antergos, I would recommend checking out [RebornOS](https://rebornos.org/). They are currently working on a replacement of the Cnchi installer named Fenix.

Have you tried EndeavourOS already? How’s your experience with it?
