EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and nicely set up for a “daily driver” PC. They also have a generally friendly and helpful community. It’s not like Manjaro at all; more command-line centric (but you can install gui tools if you must).
Dude don’t blame arch for that necessarily. Manjaro has always been shady AF. More bad press for Arch comes from that pos ‘distro’. I understand sorta why the arch forums get salty when ‘actually I’m on Manjaro’ come up in the process of trying to help them.
Years and it was so much more stable than trying to do a version update on something like Ubuntu. Just run pacman every week or so and you’re fine. Also… A manual intervention never resulted in any data loss. At the VERY worst you might need to break out chroot and do something annoying.
All of my bad experiences happened at the beginning as I was learning. And no, I would not suggest that a new arch user use it for anything important. But that’s not bc of arch. It’s because the user hasn’t usually learned the differences between the hand holding of other distros and the dirty hands mentality to tune the engine yet.
I’ve been on Debian (and some debian-based) systems exclusively since switching to Linux from Windows a few years back, and luckily I haven’t found any major reason to hop off yet. Ngl Fedora looks really nice though, might have to break my streak on it soon :)

Done all three, all three are good in their own way. These days, I run EndeavourOS :)

That’s just arch being arch. Pacman loves to commit suicide.

Bro, I’m the normiest of normies then, because I went from OpenSUSE to Fedora and now Debian.
Made a few stops along some mental diseases along the way, but those three are the only ones I spent more than a year into each.
