Any trackers or nonsense that comes with it? I’ve been vanilla Arch for a year and sometimes it’s a pain in the ass. I can never recall how I installed something. I still don’t know how to update my browser without just reinstalling.
Nothing like that, no. Arch (and Endeavour) are advanced distros. I’d recommend Fedora KDE if you want something easier. You could safely run updates with Discover on Fedora.
Read up on Pacman on the Arch wiki or by using the man command to learn how to update and install software. With Endeavour there is also the eos-update utility.
My issues with pacman are fighting with reflector, which I figured out, and forgetting where I got packages. Pacman and AUR are easy, but I can never remember if it’s a git clone or whatnot.
Endeavour is not immutable. It’s Arch with a graphical installer and some convenient tools in the welcome app.

Oh Lord, yea, I try to keep to the official repos for that reason. If not there, AUR, else Flatpak, else AppImage.
