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.

3 years on EndeavourOS and no end in sight
I switched from Manjaro to EndeavourOS more or less a year ago and I'm not leaving any time soon.
What are the selling points on endeavour over Manjaro? Or endeavourOS over arch?
I've been on Manjaro a hot minute, and if I were to switch, I think I'd just go to arch. But I don't personally know anything about EndeavourOS
EndeavourOS is more or less Arch with an installer. It uses the same repos has Arch, Manjaro has their own repos that they delay the packages update.
I really don't have data to prove it, but EndeavourOS seems to run smoother than Manjaro.
But just use what works best for you.
Oh okay for sure, so if i can install arch than in your opinion should I just use arch instead of Endeavour?
Sure, why not. I choose Endeavour at the time because I couldn't be bothered (lmostly lack of time) with the installation and configuration of Arch. Now Arch comes with an install script, that takes care of that for you.
