How does EOS compare to Pop?
Well Pop is based on Ubuntu, while EndeavourOS is based on Arch. So package availability is a little different. I've never really had issues with either but only really checked out Pop for a few weeks. I'm typing this from my EOS rig I play all my games on that's been stable and happy for maybe a year now.
One distro is fairly similar (or can be made similar) to another more or less if you get into it. I've found EndeavourOS pretty damn easy to set up and run for what that's worth and run it on three different machines right now.
Ah right. I've ran Arch before but got tired of things breaking sometimes so I wanted something more stable. How stable is EOS? Are a lot of manual fixes needed?
eos is as close to vanilla arch as you can get while still being plug-and-play, basically. they have a remote for all their own stuff and if you remove that from pacman, you're running normal arch. the main thing that's different is they ship with common-sense configs and a graphical installer. no manjaro-like "kernel update service".
it's honestly perfectly stable. if you're worried about things breaking when the kernel updates, run a LTS kernel.
