    I just switched to Endeavour from Manjaro when I upgraded my hardware, and every update changes the default kernel on the selection screen. I go in and edit the file to change the default from lts to the latest kernel, and the next update switches it right back. It’s maddening, i could do Arch, and I’ve done it on other machines I just don’t have the time for that level of customization. I already waste enough time tinkering.

      You should be able to just switch mirrors, default apps and switch to arch while on endevour.

      I know you can switch from arch to artix which is a lot more stuff being replaced, so it should be much simpler to switch from endevour to arch.

        I thought Endeavour was just Arch with an installer. Conversion is as simple as swapping repos and removing the eos-hooks package apparently, and depending who you ask: cleansing systemd from your system.

          Arch uses systemd. Do you mean going back to GRUB from systemd-boot?

            Yea, half the conversion guides I read yesterday mentioned reinstalling grub, I don’t dislike systemd boot personally but I just thought it was funny

        You do not have to switch mirrors. EOS uses the Arch repos.

        If you uninstall eos-hooks, it will even start reporting as Arch.
