From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is more or less my experience with it. My noob-ass just can't handle even EndeavorOS.
What problems did you run into?
Trying to install a lot of shit, primarily. I figured out that a lot of programs that I wanted were only available (to my knowledge) in .deb format which I couldn't get working in the distro, That and I'm still not used to using the terminal to install anything. Literally the only thing I miss from Windows is using wizards to install things. I understand a lot of this is purely skill issue though.
I found installing pamac and the enabling the arch user repository gives you most things that are debs, that of course involves using the cli to install pamac though
Manjaro has Pamac installed by default.
I wouldn't use manjaro with aur though, as it can fall a bit behind what most people posting aurs are building with
I haven't had any issues and I've been using it for 3 years.
Just using endeavour's bundled yay, you can install most packages including deb ones that users have written a "how to install" for. https://aur.chaotic.cx/ would also be nice.
Try Manjaro if you haven't already.
It's more popular than endeavor, but has way fewer shills.
I might consider it next time I have time to kill and the motivation to mess with anything arch-related.
Since Endeavour is just Arch with a graphical installer and a few extra tools, I‘d say it’s way more popular.
