caused by the systemd boot which turned on by default in 5.25

kwriteconfig5 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false

then reboot fixed it!

Linux distro EndeavourOS has the 'Apollo' release out now
12 April 2022 at 6:37 pm UTC

Quoting: Craggles086So if EndeavourOS had a testing and a Stable or LTS branch then I would be sold. Arch breaks too often and Manjaro is too heavy and has too many background tasks running.

If you could build your own system out of Manjaro in the same way you do with Arch then it would be cool. And no, Architect does not quite cut it.

If EndeavourOS could switch to a selection of packages that would not update until they had been tested then it would trump all other Arches!

It has stable - testing - kde unstable like Arch ..
