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.

EndevourOS is excellent. It has been very stable for me. It is easy to install. Your problem will not be out of date packages for sure.
That said:
If either of those things bother you, they may be a problem.
Updating packages is reliable and painless but a chore you need to get in the habit of doing. I suspect you would get more problems if you let it go too long. On the upside, as it is a rolling release, you never have an “upgrade” to go through.
You can use yay to install either
pamac-auroroctopifrom the AUR and that will give graphical package management. Yeah it isn't provided out of the box, but its a quick one-liner to set it up so it isn't too bad IMHO.I have had pamac cause problems. I do not use it.
You should look into Octopi then. It uses pacman for all its operations.
I completely forgot Octopi existed. I should give it a shot. Can it work with the AUR though?
Yep! It can leverage paru, yay, etc. for the AUR.
