I made a post a few days ago asking your opinion on Manjaro and it was very mixed, with a slightly negative overall opinion. I heard some recommend EndeavourOS instead and did some online research and it seems to be pretty solid and not have the repository problem that Manjaro has.

Just for context I am a Linux noob and have only used Mint for about the past six months. While I don’t have any major complaints, I am looking to explore more distros and the Arch repository with its rolling releases. I am not a huge fan of how certain packages on apt are a few years old and outdated. However, I also don’t have the time to be always configuring my OS and just want something that works well out of the box.

Is EndeavourOS a solid choice?

    Why would it not? I think maybe a few times in 20 years I’ve come across an installer that didn’t let you do custom partitioning.

        Where? I don’t know who’s project your referencing?

        Actually, I don’t care enough. I didn’t realize I responded to your follow up to someone posting their custom install scripts. I meant generally that’s not an issue I’ve ever come across. Then again, I don’t tend to install distro’s that simply add a couple custom wallpapers and welcome app. I’ll stick with base install from the source.
