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.
After migrating from Solus a while ago I tried Manjaro, but quickly decided Endeavour OS seemed better. I mostly wanted Arch with some sane defaults so I think it was a better fit for me. However, I think plain Arch is also a strong contender despite IMO more annoying setup. I have had some issues with keys not syncing properly from the EOS repository.
Endeavor seems like a better option. The majaro devs don’t seem particularly trustworthy as OS devs, mainly because they hold back security updates as a policy and have allowed things like ssl certs to lapse multiple times. Endeavor gets you the benefits Manjaro provides without the nonsense.
EndeavourOS is my preference. I appreciate that they don’t really modify the Arch experience in any annoying way. Manjaro seems to always break shit. Plus the EOS forums are amazing.
Linux newbie with a tendency to break everything throwing in my recommendation for Endeavour
I was warned by a bunch of people that an Arch based system is no place for a new comer but it’s surprising been WAY more stable than my time with Pop!_OS.
Huh? Installed arch as a complete Linux newbie and have had no problem to this point, except some minor stuff that I can’t be bothered to set up, should I be worried?
I think it’s mostly just the elitists trying to scare people to feel superior.

No arch is a pain to install it requires you to understand your whole system and can break from the slightest tap.endeavour is based on arch but a lot of work has been done to ensure that noobs can use it for everyday things. so you are basically using someone elses system.
there is a steep learning curve to have a functioning system. if you spend some time on other distros you can transfer the knowledge you gained over to arch
