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.

Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

This sounds like the classic of "just use Arch". But joke aside. If I really need a GUI Arch distro, I would pick endeavourOS.

But nowadays 1 min of archinstall is so fast, not sure I even bother.

How does it differ from arch install + choosing the DE?

[–] Nanabaz2 1 points 9 months ago

Just different but also just sane default configuration. But after install then it's just Arch - namely your AUR won't break, and if it breaks, it will break on normal Arch install as well.

Anyway, I would say both are 99% there and are my favorite way of installing Arch
