Well, looks like a french movie from the 60âs is needed here:
Rough translation: âDouchebags dare everything. Thatâs even how we recognize them.â

One comment only regarding Endeavour (as of this date/time), and it wasnât that bad. It referenced the old Cnchi installer, and were roughly true, IMHO.
I especially saw people who donât want to change their habit whether it comes debian or other

The perfect joke related to Distros
Without Arch we Couldnât Stand on our Feet

People tend to judge new things based on their previous experience, that doesnât make them haters. If for someone not having pamac or update-grub is a problem that usually means they are genuinely lost and clueless. Neither laughing at them nor treating them as inferior will help to change their opinion.
angry rather than enemy
The review seemed very positive to me. This quote might be a good summary:
People who want to try Arch with minimal effort to get up and running will probably like Endeavour as it makes getting started with a variety of desktop environments blissfully straight forward.
Also, I didnât find many âhatersâ on DistroWatchâs rating page, where it gets a 9.1/10 score.
IMHO some of the criticisms about EOS having rough edges or quirks are correct. Perhaps EOS could best be categorized as an âEnhanced Arch Installation Scriptâ.

Endeavour is not an Arch installation script. It is a distinct distro, with itâs own spirit, community and apps. Always sad to see people referring to it as a mere easy way to get Arch. Maybe itâs just me.

Itâs not just you 
It isnât that hard to get Arch on a system once you âcrack the codeâ, so that isnât enough to make EndeavourOS the way to go - although there is NO WAY I would have installed so many different setups without it! The people interaction here is what makes the difference - and the efforts to make things easy with little things like the grub-fixer and reflector-simple andâŠ
I think it says something that this is only the second time I opened a wallet for a distro - first since I bought into Ubuntu One 
I just really like where itâs going - even if it isnât all the way there yet!

I wish you hadnât omitted the emoticon when you quoted me. My âinstallation scriptâ comment was intended to be tongue-in-cheek.
I agree that EOS has a wonderful, helpful community that distinguishes it from Arch.
Perhaps EOS could best be characterized as "The French Version of Manjaro.
Pas possible! EndeavourOS, câest le vrai choseâŠ
Hope I got that right!
Well, I was referring also to the summary you quoted, which basically says the same thingâŠ
Nope
A bit too much rust on schoolboy French then - after all itâs been 50+ yearsâŠ

They are (but werenât in the review comments), but EndeavourOS has been incrementally improving, and each release builds on the last. Iâve been watching EndeavourOS from the sidelines, having run Antergos from time-to-time over the years. Iâm about to go with it full-time on at least one of my machines in the next day or so.
Were I to assign it an analogy, it would be along the lines ofâŠâA pre-built Arch bicycle motorcycle sans training wheels.â

This is already the second review. Our favorite distro is getting older. 
In French chose is feminine so :
Câest la vraie chose
but we use these expression usually :
Câest du vrai
Câest une chose rĂ©elle
If you refer to itâs a real thing
I guess I never thought of a thing as feminine - or at least thatâs my story and Iâm sticking to it!
The âcommon usageâ variants I had no chance of getting⊠were they even in use 50 years ago? Oh well - I tried (sort of) - at least from memory. Actually, speaking of memory âCâest du vraiâ sounds ârightâ from my timeâŠ
