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.

That's all great info, thanks for taking the time. This is my first go with Arch based. I work with Windows for a living and have used Debian based for years.
Endeavor has had a little bit of a learning curve, but sounds like I'll be sticking with it.
I know they say they are a terminal based os, but any tips on some equivalent to a software center, or at least where I can find compatable apps?
Thanks for what you've already taken the time to write!
Pamac (either pamac-all or pamac-all-no-snap). You can go with Octopi if you want, but pamac should more than meet your needs--and personally, I like it better.
