737,

it’s the back of a modern London bus. there is nothing wrong with it

737,

Not liking Arch is exclusively a skill issue. You may prefer stable release distros, but you won’t find a rolling release distro better than Arch.

737,

Tumbleweed is way worse, zypper is very bad, it’s backed by a corporation, no AUR, it’s honestly quite mediocre.

737,

It’s not bad, just not exceptional (like Arch).

737,

Arch is just as easy to install with a smaller ISO and a faster installer. Advertising EndeavourOS to inexperienced users will also lead to issues due to incompatibilities with the wiki due to dracut, the systemd firewall, and potentially systemd-boot.

737,

Arch has an installer

737,

People who are are not able to use or dislike a TUI install script should not be using Arch or an Arch based distro. Especially when taking into account that EndeavourOS doesn’t have a GUI package manager.

At least Manjaro has a point with it’s slower repos and pamac.

EndeavorOS is just Arch with Calamares, some welcome window bloat, and pacman hooks to have it be distinguished from Arch by neofetch; all at the cost of the install duration: the download is slower, the flashing is slower, the boot is slower, the installer is slower, even pacman is slower due to the hooks.

You can just download in ISO of Arch with Calamares instead, if you really want it (example)

EndeavorOS does not contribute anything to make the install process easier nor to the experience using it. Why it is still so popular after the reintroduction of archinstall really remains a mystery to me. I really only view it as a security risk due to the smaller team.

737,

I’m pretty sure you only get the full resolution image when clicking on it, not right away when loading the page. That would at least explain why you can download images in multiple resolutions from Wikipedia.

Arch, OpenSUSE TW, and Debian Sid are pretty good. As a desktop/WM I’d recommend Hyprland, Plasma, or DWL. Hyprland and DWL take some time to set up and get used to though. GNOME is sort of a pain in the ass, so I wouldn’t recommend it unless you use touch gestures a lot.

the guy who invented straight people

737,

that is just wrong, Arch has multiple week long testing phases for most packages.

current example: Zig 6 days out of date

Python over 1 month

Extra-Testing

737,

it’s a reference to some calculators wrongly approximating some values to a fraction of π

737,

rm is part of GNU or busybox though.

737,

I really dislike these Arch forks that don’t add anything really special. The more your system differs from a normal Arch install, (dracut on EndeavourOS for example) the less helpful resources will be available. Just use Arch instead.

737,

i use vi mode in zsh for that reason, its pretty good
