EndeavourOS has released Titan Neo (2026.04.27 ISO), a refreshed installation image for the Arch-based Linux distribution, arriving six weeks after the original Titan.
The project clarifies that Titan Neo targets only new installations. Existing EndeavourOS users do not need to switch to the new ISO because regularly updated systems (sudo pacman -Syu) already get relevant package updates through the rolling-release model.
The refreshed live environment and offline installer now ship with Calamares 26.03, Plasma 6.6.4, KDE Gear 26.04 apps collection, Firefox 150, Linux kernel 6.19.14 (bumped to 7.0.3 after update), Mesa 26.0, Xorg Server 21.1.22, and NVIDIA Utils 595.58.03.
On top of that, EndeavourOS fixed an issue where eos-settings packages using skel installed after user creation. With Titan Neo, those default configuration files apply correctly during installation.
The XFCE offline installation profile was adjusted by removing xfce4-datetime-plugin from the package list because it is no longer in the repositories. Printing support was cleaned up too, with the splix package removed from the “Support for printing (Cups)” netinstall option.
For KDE Plasma installations using proprietary NVIDIA drivers, EndeavourOS has switched from SDDM to the Plasma Login Manager, which, according to the project, improves compatibility for systems running NVIDIA’s proprietary driver stack.
The EndeavourOS team also used the announcement to briefly point toward its next major release, Triton. It is expected to introduce new desktop environment and window manager options, while also removing some existing installation choices.
For more details, see the official announcement. EndeavourOS Titan Neo is available now from the project’s website.
