From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

EndeavourOS is moving to KDE Plasma for its live environment and offline installer from Xfce. You'll hear no complaints from me!

Plasma is very lightweight, so no complains here. Although they could implement some convenience-stuff, like Kwallet as default keyring + autostart via dbus. Or a keyfile, so you don't have to enter your password twice, in case you use full-disk encryption and a swap partition. Small things, but I see little reason not to do it like that. It's stuff that's trivial for powerusers but scary for the less experienced.
