EndeavourOS is basically Arch with a nice installer and a few extra QoL packages while Manjaro manages their own repositories and adds things like mhwd that change system management to be a little different than Arch.

I much prefer Endeavour since I already do everything from the command line anyway. Also, while most info about Arch applies to Manjaro it doesn’t always and I found that very annoying when trying to troubleshoot.

I’ve also installed Arch a few times and it went fine, but the Endeavour installer is a much nicer experience.

The vast majority of nvidia system breakage complaints I see seem to come from users of Ubuntu or it’s derivatives. I’ve been on arch based distros for 6 years now and every pc or laptop I’ve owned in that time has been nvidia and I have never had any problems.

Creating a GUI for changing a few lines of text in a file feels like a lot of extra work for no benefit for most developers.

Do you really need it when you could use FOSS instead?

Windows has just become worse and worse over the years. I was building a new PC and realized I wasn’t going to give MS my money for a terrible OS when Linux was free.

I didn’t stick with Linux as a daily driver until I tried Manjaro. Learned enough to be comfortable installing Arch and ran that for a while, but after installing it a few times I was looking something a little bit simpler to setup. I now prefer EndeavourOS which is basically Arch with a nice installer and a few QoL apps.

That is good to know, but if you are missing something it seems you need to package it yourself. I’m sure I could do that, just not sure I really want to be doing it.

I haven’t used NixOS but it does sound interesting. From what I gather all you need is your configuration.nix file to rebuild the entire system the same as it was before. I think for sure the biggest thing I would miss is the AUR.

On google it’s the 4th result for me even in private mode which seems pretty reasonable. The first result is the firefox archwiki page.

I just did the suggested workaround and that worked. It also seems that installing lib32-libnm is probably a better fix, I’ll try that when I get home today.

I believe you just want to comment out the cdrom entry in the sources.list file.

No, not possible at this time. It is a requested feature, so maybe eventually.
