this day and age, Arch is so common it should be in the “Typical” category …

To be fair, I would see why. Arch isn't that hard to install anymore so some people see Arch-based distros that are just Arch with GUI installer as useless. I use EndeavourOS just because GUI installer is more convinient to me.

Endeavour is objectively better than plain Arch, this list is incredibly subjective.

Edit, according to the reply chain below:

My point applies when the desired result of an install is a day-to-day general-purpose OS on a modern (201X+) system. Where the savings of plain Arch versus Endeavour aren't noticeable.

tier listing distros is such a Linux community thing to do. Wish we'd get past it.

Have you actually tried Manjaro or do you just listen to what other people say about it? I find it has no issues and have been daily driving it for like 3 years now. Just because something has negative hype doesn't mean it's as terrible as people say.

I personally don't understand why anyone would put endeavour os in "why"

I've heard people say that because you can just install arch, which misses the point of endeavorOS

exactly - that's like saying "it's pointless to order omelette in a restaurant when you can just buy eggs at the store" - very insightful, thanks!

I'm fully aware of the issues, but they've never impacted me personally and I'm not much of a distrohopper. If it ever borks my PC I'll probably switch.

Same here. Was first arch linunx distro I tried that "just worked".

Not too in touch with consensus so when I saw people shitting on it, was a bit puzzled.

NixOS has 80,000+ packages so realistically it's much more usable
