After an abortive attempt to review Shebang, there’s a review of the latest EndeavourOS ISO with the KDE desktop.
“EndeavourOS turned out to be pretty close to what I was hoping to experience this week - a capable, well performing, stable distribution based on Arch. It wasn’t the distribution I set out to explore, but I liked where I found myself at the end of the week.”
With the sad (sorry Jesse) comment that he would like an app store 
I saw and read the review. Overall I was pleased with it even though he would have liked a software app store. Personally, I dont need an app store.
When app store is done in a good way, it can be really nice addition, but personally I like nowadays know what I am installing and what dependencies it is going to require. I think when considering mobile phones, app store is good choice, but I think installers (in Windows, I personally detested especially Microsoft’s choice to create Microsoft Store) and package managers (in Linux) are best way to go.
But to each his own. 
Isn’t Discover an app store?
Yeah, hated the MS Store also. Repos are also a thing I didn’t like about Linux and one reason why it took me quite long to finally make the switch. On the other hand it led me to Arch/EOS because of the AUR. Still not as simple and handy as .exe files.
Actually, (for me), I prefer the AUR over the chaos of exes downloaded from you don’t know where, installing DLLs that may cause issues everywhere (including Windows/System*), and all the other funny business.
In my opinion EOS doesn’t need a software store. I prefer the AUR and I don’t use flatpaks or snaps or app images. I think it would cause more problems.
Yes it is, but it is not installed “by default” on EOS.
The only initial means to install something is only and exclusively the terminal. But the reviewer did the math wrong, because EOS defines itself as terminal-centric, so the objection of not having an app center makes little sense.
I still use an app center on EOS for my convenience, but I use pamac (at least that also shows you the optional dependencies, so if you want to install them you can do it, it’s very convenient).
Isn’t eos-quickstart part of EOS standard installation?
Repository : endeavouros
Name : eos-quickstart
Version : 1.4.1-1
Description : An application for getting a quick start with installing packages
Yes true, but that is a (useful) tool to quickly install some apps (several other distros have a “quick installer”, a certainly useful tool but usually not complete). Not all of those available. To do that you either use the terminal, or you use a real app center like Discover, Octopi, pamac and so on.
Yes, I know. I just pointed it out as a way of installing apps, sure, a limited number, that is not “solely and exclusively” CL-based in terminal. But of course, it does launch a terminal and install the packages.
This isn’t entirely true. With the initial install one can use the user_pkglist to install any packages that are in the Arch repo so that they are all installed when EOS is installed. Not AUR packages.
