    Just discovered this Arch distribution.
    It is the successor to Antergos and provides an easy, minimal install of Arch but there's a bit of commandline work to install other stuff (samba/printing/gui package manager) with XFCE 4.14 lightly themed.


    There are options for manually installing 6 other DEs but at the moment there is only the offline installer (XFCE)
    Net installer due soon where you can manually install base system and more DEs and WMs

    Has very good reviews by main linux youtube guys.

    Looks good, hoping to try it out next day or so.

    PS Have to say XFCE 4.14 looks great.

    To be honest, if I was to reinstall an arch flavour (currently using an install of Antergos, which is obviously dead, so it's more or less standard arch), I'd go with Manjero. It's around longer, more solidly established, and for that reason seems more trustworthy. In saying that I have also heard good reviews for endeavour (spelled correctly too), so it's worth trying...

    the only arch distro ive ever had luck with was Salient OS, all the rest either failed to boot or else had a graphics driver issue which messed up the colours. might be worth a look if you want a change https://sourceforge.net/projects/salient-os/

    I'm hoping to do an actual Arch install soon.
    Just have to make time for it.

    Will be sticking endeavour on my testing laptop tomorrow

    Thanks for the link but not into gaming at all (exc Football Manager) and I *hate* bloated distros with loads of apps preinstalled.
    I usually install via netinstaller
