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.

I will not debate your thoughts on Arch though I personally have more problems on other distros. What I will say is that the EndeavourOS forums are pretty friendly. EOS is Arch for non-elitists.
I agree, they are friendly, but, oh man, EOS forums are a help vampire's paradise, an ocean of beginners with a couple of knowledgeable NPCs. Constant useless noise and back-and-forth everywhere.
EOS is "for intermediate users, and terminal first distro" paraphrasing here, but that's how they describe themselves, and they are a bit dishonest about it IMO. It's "just" Arch+Calamares+forked Artix scripts posing as apps (which are buggy as hell btw).
