    Also endeavour is not really arch with a graphical installer, or that is what I’ve seen at least.

    I tried to help someone once that installed endevouros and for some reason their kernel parameters were being overwritten every time they updated, turns out that was an issue because endeavour installed dracut instead of mkinitcpio by default? I don’t know wtf was that. They ended up switching to arch after that lol.

    Also their /efi directory was set as read-only to the root user, meaning that to even see if their kernel parameters were there they needed sudo lol

      I just switched to Endeavour from Manjaro when I upgraded my hardware, and every update changes the default kernel on the selection screen. I go in and edit the file to change the default from lts to the latest kernel, and the next update switches it right back. It’s maddening, i could do Arch, and I’ve done it on other machines I just don’t have the time for that level of customization. I already waste enough time tinkering.

        You should be able to just switch mirrors, default apps and switch to arch while on endevour.

        I know you can switch from arch to artix which is a lot more stuff being replaced, so it should be much simpler to switch from endevour to arch.

          I thought Endeavour was just Arch with an installer. Conversion is as simple as swapping repos and removing the eos-hooks package apparently, and depending who you ask: cleansing systemd from your system.

            Arch uses systemd. Do you mean going back to GRUB from systemd-boot?

              Yea, half the conversion guides I read yesterday mentioned reinstalling grub, I don’t dislike systemd boot personally but I just thought it was funny

          You do not have to switch mirrors. EOS uses the Arch repos.

          If you uninstall eos-hooks, it will even start reporting as Arch.
