They're both really solid distros, IMO. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Manjaro is just slightly more beginner friendly with the superior app store,

They're both really solid distros, IMO. I don't think you can go wrong with either. Manjaro is just slightly more beginner friendly with the superior app store, but for some reason still uses pulseaudio over pipewire, but can be easily remedied by installing manjaro-pipewire, and Endeavour is the near-vanilla Arch experience without the hassle of going through the manual install of Arch, which is especially helpful when you dual-boot with Windows. I distro hop between them occasionally because I love them both. If you don't like Manjaro holding back packages, just switch to the "unstable" branch. https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Switching_Branches https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Switching_Branches
