Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don't really tell me why it's bad, just that it's bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn't 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.

Just use vanilla Arch😭

I like EndeavourOS because it's pretty much vanilla Arch, just with a nice installer. (Although we do now have the archinstall script.) After installation, there's pretty much no difference. Also, I like the logo. I only installed Arch once for the bragging rights lol.

I ran vanilla Arch on 3 machines for over 15 years, but these days I just use Endeavor. Easy install, sane defaults, and then hands you a fully working and customizable arch. Absolutely love the project.

And they have a great community too. I especially like their off-topic threads e.g. the photography and music ones.
