    I don’t think someone new to Linux should go with Arch right off the bat. It isn’t as hard as everyone makes it sound, but it also isn’t as easy or seamless for new Linux users.

        No its not. It’s Arch with a fancy installer. You still have to keep up with Arch news and fix package breakages yourself. There’s really no difference between Arch installed via archinstall and EndeavourOS.

          Is this coming from a non arch user? Ive never had to “keep up with arch news” in order to use the distro. And does Debian or whatever flavor of distro fix broken packages for you?

            Lmao, yes I am an Arch user. Literally all Arch users will tell you to check the Arch news for package breakages or adjustments. Just the other day I had to choose between dbus-broker-unit and dbus-daemon-unit, and a few weeks back I had to fix an update issue with openjdk. Both of these were listed on the Arch news site.

            A new Linux user will not know what to do in these situations, much less know what dbus-broker-unit and dbus-daemon-unit is.
