Compared to Ubuntu ARM or Raspberry Pi OS, the EndeavourOS ARM community remains small. Troubleshooting often requires referencing Arch Linux ARM forums and adapting solutions.

For years, Arch Linux was synonymous with the "Do-It-Yourself" ethic. To get it running, you had to follow a complex installation guide, manually partition drives, and build your system from the command line up. While rewarding, this was a barrier for many—especially on ARM devices like the Raspberry Pi, where proprietary boot loaders and firmware added extra layers of complexity.

EndeavourOS ARM is not for the absolute beginner who wants a "plug-and-play" experience identical to Windows. It is for the or the curious beginner who wants to learn how Linux actually works without suffering through the Arch installation guide.

| Feature | Raspberry Pi OS | Manjaro ARM | | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Base | Debian (Old Stable) | Arch (Held back) | Arch (Upstream) | | Updates | Slow, stable | Bi-weekly | Rolling (Immediate) | | Bloat | High (Lots of apps) | Medium | Low (Minimal) | | AUR Access | No | Yes | Yes | | 32-bit Support | Yes | No | No |

The biggest selling point is the Arch Linux ARM (ALARM) repositories. If you are a developer or a tinkerer, you often need the latest version of a library. Debian (Raspberry Pi OS) often lags years behind. EndeavourOS ensures you have the absolute latest software versions available.
