I’ve done full manual installs and archinstall installs of mainline arch and I would argue endevouros is arch
If I said I had just installed Arch and someone found out that i had installed EndevourOS I would consider that lying. To me Endevour has a completely different philosophy and culture than Arch. Its preconfigured to someone elses liking which is basically the complete opposite of Arch. They’re different in every way except sharing the same packages which a ton of distros do. If EndevourOS isnt its own distro then a ton of distros get erased and linux becomes instantly less diverse.
I do not understand why anyone cares if an endevouros user says they use arch lol
Well I agree it would be weird for someone to get upset over it I think having a baseline care for people to be truthful and accurate is perfectly understandable. Lying to me means there is something wrong like a person is trying to cover for something. I dont want people to think they should be embarrassed for saying they use endevour and feel pressured to say they use arch instead. Plus I would say arch being arch is an iconic part of linux culture and ought to be preserved.
I think you just need to stop being elitist about it.
Who cares? Honestly - who cares how someone installed their OS? We should be doing everything to get people to switch to Linux (of any flavour), but instead dudes like you go “oh, you have XYZ OS? Well, that’s not really Arch, is it?” What even is the point?
That’s a good point, and I’d have to partly agree with it being lying. But only if I’m talking to arch enthusiasts or well versed linux enthusiasts.
If I’m talking with someone that only knows a few distro names saying you use arch gets what you are using across without having to explain what EndevourOS is. I don’t think it should be lumped in with other arch based distros that use their own repos either. The default config being so close to archinstall is one of the main reasons I switched
