When we started in 2019, we had a close community helping and cheering us on to get EndeavourOS up and running out of the ashes of Antergos.

One of those community members was Pudge, who enthusiastically joined us initially from the sideline by giving us tips. When the project started, he created a script to make EndeavourOS compatible with the ODROID N2, ODROID XU4 and Raspberry Pi 4 ARM devices.

Even though we are saying goodbye to the project with pain in our hearts, we completely understand Pudge’s decision. We thank both Pudge and Sradjoker for their enthusiasm and hard efforts in keeping EndeavourOS ARM in orbit for the past four years.

We are still open for anyone who wants to jump in and pick up where EndeavourOS ARM left off. Our ARM GitHub page is still out there.

EndeavourOS, a popular Linux distribution, expanded its reach to ARM devices in 2019, thanks to the efforts of a community member known as “Pudge.” His initial scripts for making EndeavourOS compatible with ARM hardware evolved into an official ARM branch, showcasing the collaborative nature of open-source projects.

In a heartfelt announcement today, Bryan Poerwo, founder and project leader of EndeavourOS, marked the end of its ARM product branch. This project has been part of the EndeavourOS journey since its inception from the remnants of Antergos in 2019.

The initiative, which began with the help of a passionate community member known as Pudge, later a leading figure of the EndeavourOS ARM team, aimed to extend the reach of EndeavourOS to ARM devices such as the ODROID N2, ODROID XU4, and Raspberry Pi 4.

"EndeavourOS is a project on the side for everyone involved and enthusiasm is key to making it roll forward. With the upstream changes making the gap between ARM and X86_64 bigger, Pudge’s enthusiasm turned into frustration. With no help from the outside and the fact he recently replaced most of his ARM hardware with x86_64, made him decide that he had reached the end of the road for EndeavourOS ARM," writes project leader Bryan Poerwoatmodjo in a blog post about the end of the ARM version of EndeavourOS.
