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 I am not a huge fan of how certain packages on apt are a few years old and outdated.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?

      Top taskbar? Are you sure you didn’t use the vanilla XFCE setup or GNOME? Mint sucks and has a bad track record.

          Mint got hacked and bad ISOs got uploaded, oh and when I used mint, the upgrade from 19.1 to 19.3 didn’t work. Unfixable broken packages.

          EnOS’es Cinnamon is plain cinnamon, without any Mint extras.
