EndeavourOS

Arch-based • Rolling release • Close to upstream

EndeavourOS is a rolling-release distribution based on Arch Linux, designed to provide a clean Arch experience with a smoother onboarding path. Instead of heavily customizing the system, it stays close to upstream Arch repositories while offering a convenient installer, helpful community tooling, and sane defaults that reduce the initial friction. This makes it attractive for users who want the Arch way—fast updates, strong documentation, and access to the Arch User Repository—without having to assemble everything entirely from scratch on day one. EndeavourOS is a good fit for developers and power users who value transparency and learning, but still want an approachable route into a highly customizable, bleeding-edge desktop system.
