I use Endeavor OS (a flavor of Arch Linux) and absolutely love it. I use it along with Citrix to remote in to my company's Windows network for work.

I'm also a big fan of Endeavour! I installed in once when I wanted Arch on a machine in a rush and I was pleasantly surprised. It imposes very little of its own infrastructure and just gets out of the way.

Manjaro is a fine distro, and I give big props to the team, but I often felt like I was fighting the Manjaro parts of the system. This is, I think, my own fault for not taking the time to read their fine documentation, so no insult to their hard work, but with Endeavour, things work like I expect. I never have to work around their tooling (or even use any of it), and that's huge.

Endeavour is pretty great generally but especially so for getting a clean and fairly minimal arch system spun up quickly. I know the Arch purists are grumbling right about now, but aren't they always? 😎
