I tested it a bit in a VM to get familiar with pacman and yay. Latest KDE Plasma 6 and more snaps in Ubuntu’s future are the main reasons I want to switch.

As I don’t use a separate home partition, I have an extra drive with BackInTime home dir backups and virtnbdbackup snapshots.

Is EndeavourOS stable enough for everyday use and would restoring home with BackInTime just work (as root user)?

    I’d argue Arch is actually more “stable”

    “Stable” in the ordinary sense means that it most likely won’t break, but if it does, the cause and solution are predictable.

    Arch has a “spray and pray” approach. It’s so bad that it many times failed to boot because I updated it for the first time in a month, and would update just fine a few weeks after that.

    Also, do remind me, what other distros released a faulty GRUB update and caused a large portion of their user base to fail to boot, multiple times? Such stability

    that partial upgrades are not allowed

    Not supported != not allowed…
