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.

If Manjaro doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it doesn't work for everybody
Leave our sacred amazing green Manjaro alone!
EndeavourOS is crap btw
And LibreOffice has terrible UI, even if it's feature-rich. Onlyoffice is the way to go
Alright, enough unpopular opinions for today.
Once installed, EndeavourOS is literally just Arch except for perhaps a couple of optional utilities and some theming. Even the kernel is the same. So you think Arch is crap btw?
More recent EOS installs do use Dracut. So, I guess there is one difference now ( unless you use dracut on Arch ).
I do not mind the look of Manjaro. That is not my issue with it.
I am fine with OnlyOffice as well. It is OpenOffice that nobody should use ( it is literally just an ancient version of LibreOffice at this point ).
So, other than saying Arch is crap, none of your opinions from that post are unpopular with me.
Yeah, dracut and some small differences here and there just make it more complicated to no gain, and I just don't comprehend why would someone who installs Endeavour wouldn't just install Arch and not depend on some random distribution that does little beyond easy set up (which has recently been shown as problematic when Endeavour team dropped ARM support).
Arch is alright btw. It has its audience, and it serves them well. Besides, it's an independent, but highly popular distro, which I value. It's snappy, configurable, well-documented, and no-fuss.
Besides, it would be weird to use Manjaro and hate its upstream. Though Mint people can experience such vibes...
I have been pretty happy with Dracut and have moved a few other systems to it. I used the instructions in the Arch wiki for how to do that of course. Dracut ( even in EOS ) comes from the Arch repos. Takes a couple minutes.
EOS only moved to Dracut recently so only my newest system would be using it ( rolling updates do not change that kind of thing ). I have all my systems using it now though, including “real” Arch.
I am less enthusiastic about systemd-boot though it does seem faster. It is just part of my bias against systemd.
Regardless, I could certainly move any of my systems to whatever I want. Installing EOS and then migrating away from Dracut would be faster than installing Arch to begin with. Of course, just starting with EOS Galileo ( before the move to Dracut ) works just as well. A simple pacman -Syu brings you to the same place as a newer install.
Honestly, uninstalling eos-hooks from EOS to get Arch is faster than installing yay in Arch to get the AUR ( yay and paru are both in EOS by default ).
