EndeavourOS Cassini Neo Released with Linux Kernel 6.1 LTS, Improved Installer
Coming less than two months after EndeavourOS Cassini, the EndeavourOS Cassini Neo release is here to bump the kernel version from the now deprecated Linux 6.0 series to the long-term supported Linux 6.1 LTS to offer you the best possible hardware support, especially for 12th Gen Intel Arc machines, which should now boot the live ISO image and the installed system.
This release also comes with an improved Calamares graphical installer that now supports encryption when choosing the “Replace a partition” option in the Partitions screen and should no longer crash when not selecting any of the options in the Bootloader screen. The development version of the upcoming Calamares 3.3 release is used in EndeavourOS Cassini Neo.

EndeavourOS Cassini Neo Is Here as a Bugfix Release
EndeavourOS is a rolling release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux that fits into a similar-but-different niche as Manjaro. It provides a simple and user-friendly experience to new users transitioning from other distros or operating systems while preserving the power and customization options that Arch is known for.
Despite being promoted as a command-line-oriented distribution, EndeavourOS comes with a user-friendly graphical installer, some excellent GUI tools, and a great online community, making it a good choice for new and experienced Linux users.
