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two weeks is bullshit if you don't do work in that time frame and just delay everything (even critical fixes) and AUR+outdated Arch is your ticket straight to dependency hell is what makes makes Manjaro bad.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.
Manjaro is Arch and Endeavour is not
So if Manjaro is Arch, I should be able to get daily updates and use the AUR without a problem, right?
....right?

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Did you break the arch installs trying to install arch from scratch?
Once that way
Once I accidentally locked my self out of i3 (can fix that problem now, bit back then i couldnt.
Once I didnt partion the hard drive properly and made my home partion way too small. Couldnt update (i think that was the issue)
Always keep a live usb handy to chroot and fix stuff.
If you're new you can just run archinstall during the installation process and have the guide do it for you. Thats how I got started.
I was thinking of sticking with Endevour (using it on laptop) But since im treating Endevour as Arch anyway, ill give Arch another try (with ArchInstall)
Rise and rise again
Weather update:
Messed around in a VM. Got (almost) all my apps workflow ready. Im happy to dive in woth pure arch
I was running arch, and then the unthinkable happened.
Team Fortress 2 stopped working due to a library bug and the supplied one from the repos causes the overlay to break and sound not to work.
I'm on Mint on another SSD right now, and I check back every now and again. It's been a month of popping in to update, run TF2, see if it boots without any console commands and then leaving when it doesn't.
Mint's nice tho, still.
Pc (mostly) complete. Tried Arch USB to use archinstall Error before i could even get to archinstall Back to Endevour.
(Also realised i need to do work on this machine. Cant work AND tinker on the same hardware. Ill tinker in a VM)
