I installed EndeavourOS and it worked well. I did update it frequently, 
probably every two or three days, and after one update it didn't boot. I 
screwed around for a while with a USB session, chroot, and all that good 
stuff but couldn't get it fixed. I had a SUSE iso I'd been running in a VM 
on another machine and there wasn't enough work/data to worry about so I 
reinstalled.

I never could decide which got more new stuff 'pacman =Syu' or 'dnf 
update' on Fedora 44. EOS includes 'yay' which is nice for the AUR stuff.
