    But no one has ever said they use redhat when they use centOS or fedora. That doesnt happen on other distros they just say the distro they use. Obviously its not a big deal but it is cringe and all the responses from people twisting themselves into knots trying to defend it is even more cringe.

    Anyways, if a person uses Arch, is switching to Endeavor beneficial? Will it be more convenient or feel restrictive?

    That depends, if you can configure arch then no because it will only add things you’ll want to remove. If you cant then its nice to have maintainers to configure and maintain your distro for you.

    If your standard for being an elitist is that people can be bothered saying/knowing their distro’s name then the bar is on the floor and the criticism is worthless. I’m not talking about people who say to their non-linux using friends that they use arch because its simple and recognizable. I’m talking about linux users saying they use arch to other linux users who would know endevour or cachy.

    When you’re troubleshooting packages, or whatever, there’s no functional difference between saying “It’s Arch” and “It’s WhateverTheFuck OS (Arch-based)”

    This is just wrong. Its terrible etiquette to go on the arch forum and ask for help and not mention that you’re on cachyOS? Arch forum etiquette expects users to mention if they used arch install.

    You think people go around telling other what distro they’re using. You are elitist. It’s just an OS, bro.

    You’re trolling, no one can be this dumb. We’re in a community dedicated to an OS talking about people have an OS as their hobby/interest and anyone thats been in this community for more than 5 mins would see that telling other people what distro you use is extremely common. You probably think im an eltist because i dont call this place reddit when someone asks what im browsing.

    Its not being elitist. I dont consider arch to be hard to install or maintain or anything. Its just cringe that people want to tell people that they use arch when they dont use arch. It means they are ashamed of the distro they run.

    If you want to go around telling people you use arch btw while on mint themed like arch thats fine but its not elitist to find that behavior cringe.

    No I dont use arch and I’ve never claimed I use arch. I just point out that if you dont use arch its cringe to tell people you run arch. Thats just common sense I thought but there are many non arch users that are feeling attacked by me pointing that out.

    Yes I am using it differently than the distrowatch websites search filter. And I would not call distrowatches search filter a conventional understanding of the word.

    Im not saying independent as in they do everything themself from scratch im saying it as in they are self governing.

    They do. They have their own identity, community and user culture. Go make a post on the arch fourms, endevour fourms and cachy fourms and it will be 3 different experiences because they cater to different niches of people. Majority of Arch users will never get their system as optimized as cachy.

    There is little different in actual use between all linux distros. They all feel mostly the same but the differences are there and they are what makes linux cool.

    I’ve done full manual installs and archinstall installs of mainline arch and I would argue endevouros is arch

    If I said I had just installed Arch and someone found out that i had installed EndevourOS I would consider that lying. To me Endevour has a completely different philosophy and culture than Arch. Its preconfigured to someone elses liking which is basically the complete opposite of Arch. They’re different in every way except sharing the same packages which a ton of distros do. If EndevourOS isnt its own distro then a ton of distros get erased and linux becomes instantly less diverse.

    I do not understand why anyone cares if an endevouros user says they use arch lol

    Well I agree it would be weird for someone to get upset over it I think having a baseline care for people to be truthful and accurate is perfectly understandable. Lying to me means there is something wrong like a person is trying to cover for something. I dont want people to think they should be embarrassed for saying they use endevour and feel pressured to say they use arch instead. Plus I would say arch being arch is an iconic part of linux culture and ought to be preserved.
