only 2-3 years ago I started with Linux on my (new) PC in a VirtualBox (=VB).
This PC boots with actual W10pro (still now) has 8 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD for a VB.
Each VB had/has 4 GB RAM and 15 GB of diskspace on the real PC’s SSD.
After testing more than 80 Distributions in VirtualBoxes I ended up with Antergos KDE.
Why Antergos?
Because I’m a Windows-Programmer, useing Delphi5pro from last century!
That’s why I always want to have a “bleeding edge” (actual!) version of wine.
Antergos always delivered newest versions of wine! GREAT!
That’s why I spent some money to them.
What - the hell - is Antergos?
My most favourite Arch-Linux!
The DEAD Antergos always updates itself (to what version?) when I start it!
It is still “alive” and works very very good!!
IMHO Antergos is the wrong name for a “phoenix” OS!
Antergos vs. Endeavour:
Useing the sudo-commandline: no real difference.
My personal result:
Endeavour is (at now) only made for commandline-freaks.
Antergos was made much better with a very friendly User-Interface!
And my very very best wishes for every Endeavour-Developer!!!
And because I’m not on FB or Twitter: You don’t have to like me anyhow
I’m still undecided or neutral because it works well. But under Antergos it was much easier to install or delete software. I know the command-line commands for installing, but not for uninstalling (I prefer Pale Moon instead of Firefox).
Antergos came with pamac… GUI installer/uninstaller. It was nice but caused me some problems more than once. You can install it in EndeavourOS if you’d like.
As for removing things from the command line… I think the syntax is: sudo pacman -R package name or use yay (same syntax I believe)
You can install Wine very easily. Endeavour is an Arch based distro where you can choose what you want once installed. If you like Pale Moon browser you can install it and uninstall Firefox or not use it. I have to disagree with you that Endeavour is only made for command line freaks! That is not true. I will like you for the fact that you are not on FB or Twitter.
Hopefully you’ll try it out and stay to see what it’s all about. Most of the people here are former Antergos users so join in. We welcome you. This is a great community with lots of help.
Endeavour is between arch and antergos,cause nor trying to be antergos. Also want to solve the main issue was for antergos. I know packagemanager is subjective and pamac is not my cup of tea i prefer some debianish like gui and simple i use tkpacmak but is subjective we are open to help how to install pamac, it taste always better with friends !
The yay command for removing a program is < yay -Rns [package] >.
I have installed the GUI program < pamac-aur > [yay -S pamac-aur] NOT to install or remove packages (though you can) but to SEARCH for particular packages I may want. For example, if you type < audio > into the search box, you will see every program which is contained in the repositories. It is helpful to enable the AUR in pamac-aur though you may want to avoid those AUR programs if possible (I do have to use some however).
I have read that pamac-aur works better than does pamac-classic. Because of tat article, I have never tried the classic version. Pamac-aur works perfectly for the uses for which I use it.
I hope that this information is of some help to you. I really like the yay command.
Welcome to EndeavourOS. It is, in my opinion, even better than Antergos.

yeah yay -Sa is like yay -S --aur or yay -S aur/Package,
updating is mostly yay -Sua checking updatua pacman -Qua
at the end is you can write a book for sure…
Final point you can make Aur issue with a easy gui, at the end you stil need to know how it does, and edit the pkgbuild when needed, and use it as minimal as possible if can.
but importand is, if a pkgbuild dont work you need to edit of small thinks, make sure your editor is standard nano or vim what you use.
yay -Sa --editmenu package , give yay option to edit a pkgbuild
Well if the package is only in the AUR the flag is unnecessary. The default setting is “Repo first, AUR second”, but you always get the question if there are identical names, right?
And so far, as I said, I have never installed a package from AUR that also exists in the repo so I have simply never come across the flag.
