I absolutely don't understand why Endeavour exists and is so popular.

On Manjaro side, the criticism of AUR compatibility is valid, and that's why even Manjaro devs warn against actively using it; although, I have to mention, I personally have never encountered issues related to this 2 week delay, even when at first I used and abused AUR with no respect to warnings. (then decided to be on the safe side just in case)

Also, repos include everything except edge cases, and for those, Flatpaks cover most of it. Currently, I have 2 AUR packages installed, one of them being an obscure printer driver, and other being OcenAudio, a sound recording tool I prefer.

To me, Manjaro has shown itself as a safe, predictable, noob-friendly system that doesn't lead you the ways of Arch unless you choose to go there, while benefitting from the rolling release model and wonderful optimization.

Endeavour, on the other hand...seriously, it's a little more than Arch skin. Even Garuda makes much more sense.

honestly, i think an arch distro that is basically a preconfigured version of arch built for the end user a good thing. Takes away the pain of setting it up, but keeps the benefits of running arch.
