EndeavourOS “Mercury Neo” released!

After EndeavourOS “Mercury” got released on February 10th, the team behind EndeavourOS has released a March 2025 refresh of the same distribution version, called “Mercury Neo.” It brought updated versions of all applications, including the following:

• Calamares 25.02.2.1-2
• Firefox 136.0.2-1
• Linux 6.13.7.arch1-1
• Mesa 1:25.0.1-2
• Xorg-server 21.1.16-1 (xorg)
• Nvidia 570.124.04-4

This makes sure that your system is up to date with the latest version of all software released with this version of EndeavourOS. Mercury Neo only affects new installs, but the team ensures that your system is running fine if you upgrade regularly.

The xwaylandvideobridge package has been removed upstream, so the install scripts no longer refer to it as it has already been deleted. In addition to that, obsolete NVIDIA-specific boot menus have been removed to clean things up.

For users living in some regions, the Arch mirror ranking stage, which is run before installation finishes, has been fixed so that it can correctly rank some Arch mirrors to prevent installation failures.

For UEFI systems, if you try to install “Mercury Neo” with systemd, the EFI system partition is generated with 2 GB in size instead of the smaller 1 GB size.

It's not the #EndeavorOS or the #GarudaLinux #BirdOfPrey desktop environment, By The WAY!

oh , i'm well aware of that. we learned that in the first season.

#seasontwo : he can't figure $#it out anymore

Well? you pick em and pick em and sometimes it's the right one. this time, perhaps not. this is good for like cropping i guess.

My Memory is a #hobo
he decides when it's time for his smoke break.

#EndeavorOS
EDIT: I have to remark! THIS IS a super-dumbed-down version of what #Endeavor can do. I mean, it's decked out as #KDE

I can't rem how to use those desktops.
that's #XFCE if you didn't know from the mouse.

looks like mate to me! i dunno. but i have #deskbar auto-collapsing at right - fancy stuff back in 2007 or so! reminds me of my 00's desktops! i hate icons.

#works for me! I can do this. NOte. i'm not bitching about the #Linux #Screenshot software!
maybe i need this!

#EndeavorOS

See? I think that's why I went with #GarudaLinux
I don't know what it's doing when it does, but if the software you type at the command line isn't installed, it automatically tries to find a viable package for installation.

I really like that feature about @garuda !

That said,

I can totally relate to why @linkachus17 recommended it.

It's sweet. eh-- i guess that's linux though. #Decisions and #BetterDecisions for specific needs.

Imma try this a while!
( dual boot / did the "Alongside" install w/ that super nice GUI installer! common to most #ArchLinux distros i've tried... aside from the true #Arch which i managed to install on my G/F's laptop! phsaw. how did that happen? )

Hi guys what is the best #Linux OS to play #steam and #gog on a PC?

There are some indie games I would like to play, and I would like an OS that behaves as a console, and you control it through a Joypad.

I read about #SteamOS but it is tied to #Debian Jessie, but the latter is not supported anymore though, is SteamOS still supported?

I thought I could install somethong like #EndeavorOS and run into #GameHub and that's it.
Can I use GameHub with only the joypad? Updates and likes would be done through SSH.

What do you recommend for easy #gamingonlinux?

Thanks

@codemonkeymike I've been running a couple ASUS C202sa chromebooks with firmware from #mrchromebox and #endeavoros (one KDE and one i3) and they are my go-to devices. Not fast but usable, biggest issue is that they only have 4GB ram. I'll look into the Lenovo Flex 5, thanks!
