Go for EndeavorOS without shame if all you want is an Arch-like system, without the hassle.
Cue the zealots screaming “Endeavor is not Arch!”
Endeavour is Arch (mostly), Manjaro isn't Arch.
I love your comment because I've been told the opposite. That Manjaro is Arch but Endeavour is not. I've also been told that neither is Arch. And I've been told that both are Arch.
The thing is, I don't care.
I don't understand how people think Manjaro is more Arch than Endeavour.
Because that's the bullshit Manjaro promotes by giving pre-installed access to the arch user repository and pretending that they are just delaying arch updates by two weeks for additional stability checks.
That the whole concept of additional two weeks is bullshit if you don't do work in that time frame and just delay everything (even critical fixes) and AUR+outdated Arch is your ticket straight to dependency hell is what makes makes Manjaro bad.
That they then also managed to DDOS the AUR for everyone adds to their likability from the Arch perspective.
So in the end Manjaro is damaged Arch and Endeavour is an Arch-derivate. Which one is closer to Arch (technically it's Manjaro) is irrelevant, because one isn't even a properly working distribution.
So if Manjaro is Arch, I should be able to get daily updates and use the AUR without a problem, right?
....right?
