To be fair, I would see why. Arch isn't that hard to install anymore so some people see Arch-based distros that are just Arch with GUI installer as useless. I use EndeavourOS just because GUI installer is more convinient to me.
Endeavour is objectively better than plain Arch, this list is incredibly subjective.
Edit, according to the reply chain below:
My point applies when the desired result of an install is a day-to-day general-purpose OS on a modern (201X+) system. Where the savings of plain Arch versus Endeavour aren't noticeable.
Have you actually tried Manjaro or do you just listen to what other people say about it? I find it has no issues and have been daily driving it for like 3 years now. Just because something has negative hype doesn't mean it's as terrible as people say.
This website has a good summary of the problems with manjaro https://manjarno.pages.dev/ . I've used it too and it's usable from a user perspective, but it has so many underlying issues
I'm fully aware of the issues, but they've never impacted me personally and I'm not much of a distrohopper. If it ever borks my PC I'll probably switch.

Putting Arch in top tier then Endeavour in Why is hilarious

this day and age, Arch is so common it should be in the “Typical” category …

tier listing distros is such a Linux community thing to do. Wish we'd get past it.

I personally don't understand why anyone would put endeavour os in "why"
femboy_bird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 13 pts · 2y
I've heard people say that because you can just install arch, which misses the point of endeavorOS

exactly - that's like saying "it's pointless to order omelette in a restaurant when you can just buy eggs at the store" - very insightful, thanks!

Based on that, it has been over 464 days since the last fuck-up. Sounds good to me.

Same here. Was first arch linunx distro I tried that "just worked".
Not too in touch with consensus so when I saw people shitting on it, was a bit puzzled.

NixOS has 80,000+ packages so realistically it's much more usable

Thanks for doing the Guix rant I am too lazy to do. Also: does NixOS even have something like
