# Endless OS

## About Endless OS

[Endless OS](https://endlessglobal.com/foundation/access/operating-system) is an operating system, designed to be used for education. If you are using Endless OS, you might want to try Flock XR for 3D coding and creation.

## Running Flock XR

In order to run Flock XR, you can either set up Endless OS on a computer, or boot from a USB stick. The instructions for setting up Endless OS can be found here: [Endless OS Installer for Windows](https://support.endlessos.org/en/installation/windows-installer). The instructions for booting from a USB stick can be found here: [Endless OS direct download](https://support.endlessos.org/en/installation/direct-download).

![Flock XR running in Chromium](images/EndlessChromium.png)

Endless OS comes with two browsers; we recommend using Chromium to run Flock XR.

### Installing Flock XR as a Web App

From both Chromium and Epiphany, on Endless OS, it is possible to install Flock XR as a web application. This app can then be used without an Internet connection, as shown in the following screenshot.

Add the actual web-app installation steps.

This section only states that Chromium and Epiphany can install Flock XR, so readers still do not know which menu commands to use or whether the app must be loaded online once before offline use. Document the concrete steps and any first-run/network requirement.

In `@docs/endless.md` around lines 21 - 23, Expand the “Installing Flock XR as a
Web App” section with concrete Chromium and Epiphany menu steps, and state that
Flock XR must be opened online once before it can be used offline. Keep the
existing Endless OS context and screenshot reference.

## Testing Flock XR

Flock XR’s basic functionality has been tested on Endless OS using both of the browsers which come pre-installed with the distribution. That is, we tested Flock on Chromium and on GNOME Web (Epiphany). We found that Flock XR functioned well on both, with better compatibility being found on Chromium, so we recommend using Chromium to run Flock XR on Endless OS.

If you find any issues using Flock XR on Endless OS, let us know at [Flock XR](https://flockxr.com/).

In `@docs/endless.md` at line 30, Update the Flock XR link in docs/endless.md so
it points directly to the project’s contact, support, or issue-reporting
destination rather than the general homepage. Keep the surrounding Endless OS
guidance unchanged.
