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 actually have mentioned all that, but let me summarize it for you:

Both are Arch-based, but have an easy to use graphical installer.

Manjaro holds back packages for 2 weeks from the Arch repos. That causes stability and security issues. The maintainers have also demonstrated a clear pattern of negligence that impacts the whole Arch ecosystem.

EndeavourOS does not hold back packages. They also haven't broken the AUR twice.

That's it. Should be pretty clear why EndeavourOS is the better recommendation.

Again you seem to think the only point of Manajro or Endeavour are to make it easier to install Arch. Plus you have offered no reason to use Endeavour over Arch

Please note I have not noticed stability or security issues to a greater degree than I have on any other distro that isn't ultra-stable (e.g. Debian Stable)

Yes I did -- it has a GUI installer. That's the only reason.

Good for you?

Right, I'm done. I can't be bothered to argue with this level of absolute mind-numbing stupidity any more. Please never say anything to anyone ever again.

Bahahaha.

Manjaro fanboys really are something else.

What else would they possibly be for if not installing Arch with a GUI?
