Honestly go for EnOS. Garuda is neat and has a good default setup, but they've gone a little far with their modifications imo
Is that the whole name? Because searching shows YenOS, EndeavorOS, EventOS, EndlessOS and one ENOS based off Xubuntu (a single 2020 mention for a 0.4 version)
EnOS is generally EndeavorOS
Oh? I'm still a Linux noob, educate me.
I just don't like their candy design that much and it's effort to undo post-installation
I assume you are taking about desktop environment stuff? I installed the xfce version and it's been pretty streamlined.
Well, I'm talking about their pre-installed software and custom theming
That's fair, but as a Linux beginner, I was happy to have more software than I needed at the start rather than not enough. If you know what you are doing, I could see how you could have a different opinion.
There is a lite version, but sure whatever you prefer.
Yeah, but it's still more work to remove KDE and things... EnOS has an installer that allows you to cherry-pick your preferred packages
