Installing EndeavourOS on Surface Pro 6

I kept running into an error when trying to do an online install of EndeavourOS, so I ended up doing an offline install with xfce (at this moment, the EndeavourOS ISO comes with the xfce Desktop Environment preinstalled), booted into it and installed plasma packages using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Plasma

  • Then uninstall all XFCE packages with:
    • sudo pacman -Rns xfce4 xfce4-goodies
  • Then install Surface Pro kernel and packages to get the touchscreen working:
