I tested it a bit in a VM to get familiar with pacman and yay. Latest KDE Plasma 6 and more snaps in Ubuntu's future are the main reasons I want to switch.

As I don't use a separate home partition, I have an extra drive with BackInTime home dir backups and virtnbdbackup snapshots.

Is EndeavourOS stable enough for everyday use and would restoring home with BackInTime just work (as root user)?

Yes, as long as you maintain it.

Nothing in EndeavourOS really "just works". You have to install and configure the stuff you need.

I mean... by that standard nothing "just works" ever. Anything that needs access to your WiFi, or file system, or your online accounts — it will need a minimum of configuration even if that's clicking a button to give it internet privileges or filling in a password.

I've used Endeavour for a couple of years now, and it's not like the apps need more configuration than any other distro I've tried.

Idk, upgrading to Plasma 6 + Wayland was as simple as waiting for yay to do its thing and rebooting. 10 minutes and it just works. No configuration.

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.
