      Not tried endeavour, but Garuda is pretty slick, and the forums are read by devs very actively. And OP is right, it’s as easy as could be, so easy my wife installed it without having to ask any questions until she got to the niche optional program installs. Even then there was only one thing she wasn’t sure she didn’t need.

      I played with Endeavor years ago, but not extensively. If memory serves, it’s pretty much just preconfigured Arch with some nice theming, a Calamares installer, and a few simple scripts. Garuda adds even more theming (too much for my tastes, actually), a few GUI utilities, notifications when your system is overdue for an update, and an update script that runs common post-update tasks (like grub-install) and takes snapper snapshots automatically, so basically user-friendly bloat.

      Inlove it 😁 it is, until now, the least tume consuming distro I tried! Lnstalling it all using yay is just soo nice (I use it with KDE right now, but I think I will get into tailing WM soon.

      Hyperland seems to look very nice, but I heard, that the Community is a bit tocic, so I think I‘ll first test Sway
