From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Endeavouros uses calamares. They just make it possible to install arch very easily and with a gui. What's the advantage of archinstall over it? Eos isn't too different from arch. It's arch with a gui installer.
Yes! That's the point. It's just Arch with a GUI installer, quite literally. So, why not simply make the archinstall script better? Or simply make an installer for Arch Linux? It's like you take your grandma's cookies and put a sticker of your face.
They do ship some other stuff as well.
Arch Linux GUI does exist though.
It's a couple of extra tools they bundle. Most of them you'll never use.
An Nvidia driver installer is useful.
