What is the best option if you wanted to run Linux on ARM?
These days I’m more interested in the ARM world rather than the x86 world because ARM is simpler, power-efficient, scalable from cortex M0 to X4 and everything in between, and I took a class on ARM assembly language. x86, on the other hand, is full of legacy cruft and complicated as a result, and x86 is power hungry. Look at the new Intel 14900K, it draws over 400W!
Debian? They have good ARM support (the raspberry pi OS is based on Debian, uses its repos). Definitely also install flatpak. Most, but not all, flatpaks have arm builds.
Debian.
Odd timing since there is a renewed push for Arm laptop chips coming around from Qualcomm.
Endeavor os is an utterly pointless distro anyway, it doesn’t even host it’s own repos. Just use Arch.
it doesn’t even host it’s own repos
Yes, and that’s a good thing, otherwise it would be like Manjaro.
EndeavourOS is perfect if you already know your way around a Linux system but don’t want to spend the time and effort to setup Arch.
What’s wrong with Manjaro?
They made errors with certificates twice. Apparently, that a cardinal sin for some Linux users.
But if you like Manjaro, use it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great distro.

And DDOSd the AUR.
Technically, Endeavour does have its own repos but they only contain a relatively small number of non-essential packages. But yeah, other than that it’s basically pre-configured Arch with great defaults.
No, the defaults are worse than the arch defaults, the wallpapers are ugly, dracut has worse documentation for desktop use, yay is bad, and the firewall GUI is pointless bloat (the thing on the KDE settings app is just better). Just use Arch.
A lot of what you said are just personal opinions.
okay
