EndeavourOS offers both off-line and on-line install options. The off-line installer, Calamares, uses the Xfce desktop by default. The on-line installer can install optional software components, including most popular desktop environments.

simply the best Arch linux experience I have ever used.

cause it is not funny anymore to:
1) boot from command line arch
2) use lynx to read arch linux manual in order to install arch
3) introduce all the commands (cause no installer)
4) after install to waste time to install X & desktop & apps
5) to configure X & desktop & desktop manager

Endeavour does that for you:
1) it has nice GUI liveiso so you browse internet while you install
2) it has nice GUI installer which does everything for you
3) it configures your desktop of choice for you
4) it adds additional utilities and apps for you (like yay)
5) it adds theming (at least for XFCE)
6) it has a nice welcome app with a lot of configuration options
7) it stays as close to arch as possible (I throw a rock in your garden Manjaro)
so it is Arch, just with easy to use installer

I have to say that I am very impressed with the efforts of the development team at Endeavour. Very nice looking and had this installed before, as xfce. This was because the installation program takes so long to connect to a server so you can have an option to install an alternative desktop environment. Wasn't sure if there was something wrong with the program or if my internet was down. After requesting to install "online" vs "offline" several times, the installer finally came up.

During the install, you may want to launch a disk partitioning tool first. Some distros will not allow the installer to erase the previous partition so manually deleting is necessary. Now the installer gave the option to use the whole disk and created the required partitions and the rest of the install went well.

Blue tooth would not work and it is turned off by default. The endeavour website has a simple command to enter to get it running but it requires that you reboot after entering the command in the "terminal".

Thanks again for this great distro and hopefully more development will get some of these things fixed. For example, selecting blue tooth "on" during install would be nice. Another thing I would like to see is a note to the person installing that "Connection may take awhile to complete" or maybe even showing the result of connection to the server or not. I am running the Gnome desktop.

I've now moved away from EndeavourOS. It initially appealed to me as an alternative to Manjaro in the hope that I might get more than a few weeks or months go by without encountering issues fixed by a rollback or reinstall, but I was shown to be wrong. EndeavourOS too has occasional glitches following updates, and although these seem to occur less frequently than with Manjaro, resorting to a rollback or reinstall are also a part of the experience. That's not to say that a broken EndeavourOS cannot be fixed if one is prepared to spend the time researching and trialing and failing and etc etc but in my case time is a precious resource combined with less patience than most. It looks good, it's slick and fast but ultimately, like other Arch based distros, not suitable as a daily driver if your living depends on it.
