    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!”

        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.

            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two weeks is bullshit if you don’t do work in that time frame and just delay everything (even critical fixes) and AUR+outdated Arch is your ticket straight to dependency hell is what makes makes Manjaro bad.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?

    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)

    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.
