Do tell us how it goes!!! I thought endeavouros was better than Manjaro, but I absolutely encourage you to explore your options :)

Oh, I didn't know that one, it looks interesting. I was quite hyped with GoboLinux because it tried to mitigate the things that annoy me the most in linux, that's how complex is the installing (and uninstalling, mainly) of programs. I mean, you always have the distros' package managers (apt, pacman, aur, yum, ...), compiling by hand and moving or linking to system folders, downloading a binary, flatpak, snap, brew, appimage. When I get to uninstall a program for some reason, I never know how to do it, because I never remember how I installed it.

EndeavourOS (which is very close to vanilla Arch, in a good way) comes with yay, which makes installing software super easy. You can search for and install a program by just typing "yay " and selecting what you want to download. Note that this also works for anything in the AUR, which includes lots of stuff that you'd usually have to manually compile.

+1 on Endeavour instead of Manjaro. EOS is better in every respect plus it's much closer to vanilla Arch.
