How is endeavouros differences in looks then distros like solus , garuda and/or ubuntu for budgie desktop style?

OK, there is lot to unpack in there, let me give it a shot.

  • The reason you had trouble with Solus’s grub is that Solus doesn’t use grub. They use the bootloader from Clear Linux
  • Almost all the things you mention not liking about the various distros are just configuration. Colors, layouts and widgets are all configurable in Linux. You can make EndeavourOS, Garuda or even Solus easily look like Ubuntu Budgie does.
  • The thing in the bottom of the screen is generally called a dock. I am not sure which dock Ubuntu Budgie uses but you could probably find out by right-clicking on it.

In the end, colors and desktop layouts shouldn’t be the basis for your distro selection. Those are all just defaults which are in your control to alter.
