From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, EndeavourOS is just easy to install Arch. It is going to run as well as Arch runs ( pretty well ).
Arch tends to scare away novice users or those lacking in confidence and so EndeavourOS does too. If you are confident or elitist enough to be attracted to Arch, EndeavourOS may feel like a cop out. Or, you might believe that Arch is already easy enough to install ( especially now ).
I happen to think that EndeavourOS rocks. Welcome to the club. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
Since EndeavourOS is only just over a dozen packages on top of Arch, it would be a challenge to find documentation for Arch that does not also apply to EndeavourOS as well ( beyond the initial install ).
The only EndeavourOS specific issue I can think of is that you may need to update the EndevourOS-keyring package before doing a system update if it has been a really long time since the last one. This would be when you have to update the archlinux-keyring package as well so even then the Arch docs get you most of the way there.
