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.

My problem with EndeavourOS is that it is terminal centered. I prefer GUI. Don't think it has a package manager gui.
Isn't it running plain KDE? If so, Discover is included.
Discover is not working properly on Arch based distros because there's no packagekit backend for them.
That's disappointing, Discover is pretty neat.
Well Arch and the like tend to managed from the terminal so I guess no one cared enough to write one.
You can install Octopi or Pamac which both handle the standard repositories and the aur. I don't know if they handle flatpak or snap though.
I believe I tried Pamac in a VM and it didn't work properly. Or it didn't exist in the repôs. I might check it out again if I have time.
It's in the aur, so use yay or another aur helper to install it
