I made a post a few days ago asking your opinion on Manjaro and it was very mixed, with a slightly negative overall opinion. I heard some recommend EndeavourOS instead and did some online research and it seems to be pretty solid and not have the repository problem that Manjaro has.
Just for context I am a Linux noob and have only used Mint for about the past six months. While I don’t have any major complaints, I am looking to explore more distros and the Arch repository with its rolling releases. I am not a huge fan of how certain packages on apt are a few years old and outdated. However, I also don’t have the time to be always configuring my OS and just want something that works well out of the box.
Is EndeavourOS a solid choice?
Endeavor is basically an installer for Arch. It is litterally Arch so if arch has issues Endeavor will be affected.
Manjaro, on the otherhand is downstream from arch so when arch has an issue manjaro testinh branches will catch it before they get to the stable stream.
If you want to have fun with the open ocean waves of upstream Arch then go with Endeavor.
It is overly hyped for what it is. They basically took over from Antergos .
