Honestly the arch wiki is like a black hole, dragging Linux users towards using arch. I got so used to using arch wiki on other distros that it eventually got me to switch to something arch based.

Edit: btw

You forgot to say btw :D

He said "arch based" my guess is he didn't want to say "I run manjaro btw"

Endeavor is fine, that's what I point new users at when they're not confident in bootstrapping an install manually.

Edit: remember, friends don't let friends run manjaro

Honsestly with ‘archinstall’ working so well these days, I don’t see much reason not to jump straight to Arch.

Not using Arch but an Arch derivative automatically excludes you from getting any support from the Arch forums.

Not that it matters since they'll just force you to read the documentation while pulling your hair anyway.

I was thinking on moving to Fedora, since it has more robust support for GUI-based installation through PackageKit and it's got a more stable release cycle. But Arch and its wiki is just my bread and butter at this point that moving to another distro feels foreign and annoying in comparison, even though it's not the distro's fault.
