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.

Yeah, also I think EndeavourOS and Arch moved to Plasma 6 at around the same time too? I tried holding off the update to Plasma 6 for a few days but finally took the update on March 12.
I think with enough faffing around customizing things in KDE Plasma, I think a green-themed EndeavourOS is doable. Would I recommend it? Not really, lol! From what I've seen, I like EndeavourOS' default theming.
It's just a shame EndeavourOS isn't as known as Manjaro (at least during the time I first jumped into running Linux as a daily driver). But then again, with Manjaro shitting the bed becoming more known, I hope EndeavorOS can take the place of Manjaro as the Arch-based distro for newbies.
Oh yeah, I was there with him when he was doing it. I can't do any help other than cheering him on, and to have another eye on the screen making sure he doesn't make any stupid mistakes in the process. At few points, I reminded him of the fact that I've backed up my files, and if things really get FUBAR, we can just do a clean install and restore the files from backup.
EOS uses the Arch repos. So, EOS and Arch got KDE 6 together since whatever is in the Arch repos hits them both at the same time.
