Knowing that with Steams’ support of Linux through proton means a vast amount of games just work out of the box was enough for me to switch to EndeavourOS.
Yeah, I had mostly stayed away from arch based distros after having a really bad time with Manjaro. But hearing the Steam Deck’s version of SteamOS was switching to an Arch base got me to try Endeavour on my desktop, and I’ve been using it ever since.
Manjaro has been one of the worst Arch-based distros I have used so far. It broke constantly, where normal Arch wouldn’t.
Also, it’s just not a good look when their website certificate runs out and they tell users to turn back the clock a few days until they fix it (archive link, changed to this). Also it expired again a year later (archive)

I’ve been on it for a week, and I’m so sold.

Same. (Are you me?)
I am indeed you. You, or rather we, are having a mental breakdown due to the tumultuous journey of installing and using an Arch based Linux distro.
Jk, I just hit install and it worked. Pretty nifty. Don’t forget to eos-update!
