From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm sure EndeavourOS is perfectly fine for the people who work on it and their core user base. That's not my issue. It's still happily running on my laptop. I just keep on seeing people say "Don't use Manjaro, use EndevourOS! It's much better." But your average computer user would lose their shit at having to deal with those ^ issues. "You just had to enable it at installation if you wanted printing. You didn't see the checkbox?! Oh mah gaaa" ...Seriously? It's not a checkbox to turn it back on if you miss it and should be opt-out to begin with. Are you going to tell me CUPs is a significant memory/storage drain and a gaping vulnerability in a residential network? If one's not familiar with Linux, CUPS, pacman and Systemd it's a huge headache for most people to get this working.
I just think that EndeavourOS shouldn't be presented as a Manjaro alternative for your average person, when it's an opinionated Arch-based distro with spotty defaults aimed at somewhat experienced Linux users that want nitty-gritty control over their system. (Users which, again, might as well be using vanilla Arch if that's fun or important to them) And it has some weird update/mirror manager that prevented me from just using pacman to update my system at one point and I had to figure out whatever it was they wanted me to use. Never had this kind of crap happen to me in Manjaro. Nor was printing disabled by default. Nor were network shares hard to get working.
