Comment on The Arch Linux team is now working directly with Valve — SteamOS and Arch should both benefit greatly

  Endeavour will benefit from it directly. There’s nothing proprietary in the distribution, except for a repository with their theming, a keyring/mirrorlist, and a few alpm hooks for nvidia and dracut installs.

  With Manjaro it’s a little different, but who knows. They have other issues to worry about

    I was JUST about to try out Manjaro. Are these ‘other issues’ a new thing or are you saying that because Manjaro is more of a departure from arch than endeavor is?

      Oh no, not a new thing. Manjaro has a very long history of consistently fucking things up. I would not, in good consciousness, recommend Manjaro to anyone

        Thanks for the info. I’ll give endeavor at shot.

      Agreed, do endeavour, plain arch (maybe with something like arch install), or hard pivot and try nixos. Manjaro has never really been a good option.

        +1 for Archinstall. I’m a Linux noob and getting everything set up was a cinch. Even had a spot to put in my address so I can get my first pair of thigh length striped socks from the AUR.

        ^that ^was ^a ^joke.

      Manjaro probably has the most incompetent team of any serious linux distro, there’s no good reason to use it

  As an EndeavourOS user, this pleases me greatly.
