    The aur usually has what I need, only have had to manually build once… Before I found the aur package. Endeavoros is a good easy way to get into arch if you are worried about the manual configuration.

      Alright, cool. Why not Manjaro? I did a quick Google search and saw people saying Manjaro is bloated in comparison to EndevorOS, are there other reasons as well?

        Yeah, they like forgot to reupload a new cert 3 times.

        And they hold packages back. EndeavourOS uses Arch’s repos directly, whereas Manjaro has it’s own repos. EndeavourOS is just Arch with a GUI installer and some handy prepicked choices, like a DE.

        Just ignore “bloat” on principle. It’s a meaningless term and leads to much suffering.
        Untold numbers of systems have been made unbootable, untold years of time wasted, trying to get rid of “bloat”.

        The most “bloated” distro in the world is probably a default Slackware installation.
        It installs every single package in its repo. Including several desktop environments and every single KDE program.
        And it’s just 2/3 of the size of a Windows installation.
