    Blue Monday. Here's a review of EndeavourOS, an Arch-based distro, tested across four different configurations covering Xfce and Plasma desktops, a laptop with AMD processor and Vega graphics and a virtual machine, including look & feel, ergonomics, customization, package management, tons of problems and issues, broken bootloader, and more.

    Oh boy, those fonts :thumbd:
    I'm unpleasantly surprised with the scaling in Xfce 4.16. In 4.14 we can manage reasonable results but we have to change several settings: fonts, icons in Thunar (including side panel), icons in Whisker menu, icons in the panel, fonts in Window Manager... I was hoping that 4.16 would bring one place to rule them all.

    Freespire seems to have switched to KDE now.

    This is correct. In fact there are several changes to the systems available.
