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.

As someone who used both, endeavourOS gives you a good idea what a system should look like, it's not extremely overdone.
I did switch to Arch, just because i think that i don't need quite as much.
If i would have only tried Arch i would have spent so much time figuring out what's possible and what i want.
There is a place for it, not everyone wants to take so much time figuring things out and that's fine by me.
I've used Linux in various ways since the nineties and know it intimately but I don't want to fiddle with an install. When I got my new laptop this year I appreciated being able to plug in an EndavourOS flash drive, click on a couple of things and then let it install a sane default with prop NV driver already setup while I made coffee. I was ready to play games from my old Steam lib SSD in 20 min.
I don't know if the Arch installer is like that but EOS is slick.
