Is there anybody whose had experience with both?
I’m trying to decide if I want to go back to Manjaro or get into Endeavour.
Exact same experience 3 years ago. The mistake I did was switching to Manjaro. Actually no. Manjaro is great for learning Arch and to gain the skill doing Arch Vanilla. But maybe its better to instantly go to EndavourOS (no experience with it, but should be similar to pure Arch)
Huh? Installed arch as a complete Linux newbie and have had no problem to this point, except some minor stuff that I can’t be bothered to set up, should I be worried?
As a newbie I couldn’t do Arch because I couldn’t setup a workflow with any Vanilla desktop, thats why I definetly needed something like Pop_OS and Manjaro Gnome with their heavy desktop tweaks, to know and learn what I want. The system was no different, I needed to learn how everything acted to know what to DIY in Arch Vanilla.

No arch is a pain to install it requires you to understand your whole system and can break from the slightest tap.
endeavour is based on arch but a lot of work has been done to ensure that noobs can use it for everyday things. so you are basically using someone elses system.
there is a steep learning curve to have a functioning system. if you spend some time on other distros you can transfer the knowledge you gained over to arch
