Notable Features
EndeavourOS features a GUI installation, which sets it apart from the distro that it is based on, Arch Linux. This makes the process of installation less complicated when compared to Arch. It also has a lot of the same features that Arch Linux has, since it's a modified version of Arch. Because of this, EndeavourOS is pretty popular among those that are new to Linux and want to use Arch for it's many features, but are unable to go through the complicated process required to install Arch.
