Endeavour vs Manjaro (reddthat.com)

Is there anybody whose had experience with both?

I'm trying to decide if I want to go back to Manjaro or get into Endeavour.

As someone who tried both, I think Endevour is better. 1.It's more bleeding edge. 2. It's as close to vanilla Arch as you can get with a gui installer. 3. The dev team seems to be more compitent then the Manjaro team (i.e: shit doesn't break because someone pushed a WIP package). 4. Better community support (I mean, it's literally just Arch with a fancy installer).

They're both fairly easy to install. And it's fairly easy to switch between the two.

It's really not that hard to follow the wiki to install Arch. I feel like there's a lot of maintaining to do when using Arch, so you might as well get used to the terminal. It wasn't really an issue when I was using it daily, but has become a chore now that I boot up my laptop once or twice a month.

Funnily enough, I'm always on my Steam Deck now and that is based on Arch, too.

You have to remember that most people aren't power users. A lot of people find if difficult to even install Windows. Vanilla Arch isn't for everybody.

Honestly, in that case, I can't recommend Arch to those users. Nothing wrong with Ubuntu for beginners and there's so much documentation.

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.
