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.

I ran Manjaro for over a year. It's considerably slower than endeavourOS. I don't know why, but the system was always sluggish and always broke for me. Also, I don't think that their stable branch is a rolling release anymore. They wait over a month to push updates, sometimes even longer. I've been running EOS for about a year now. Zero issues. Light as hell. You may have to install some things, but I like it a lot. And if you don't feel comfortable using the terminal all the time, just install octopi. Some people hate it, but I love it. Much better than Manjaro's buggy Pamac. Only downside of octopi is that it doesn't support flatpaks. For that I've installed discover with the packegkit and I'm good on flatpak. It also works very well with the AUR/EOS/Arch repos.
is all you need for it, btw.
