Arch based distro EndeavourOS has a new release for their fifth anniversary. This update has restored support for ARM devices. There are now EndeavourOS ARM images for the Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 5, ODROID N2, and Pinebook Pro. It also updates the kernel, Mesa, Plasma, among other programs as well as fixes several bugs. EndeavourOS uses the Calamares installer. It uses SystemD for the init system. If you choose the online installer then you get a choice of eight desktop environments or five window managers. You also get a choice between Grub, SystemD-Boot, or no bootloader. You can also choose between BTRFS and EXT4 for filesystems. All in all you get a lot of user choice during install outside of the sole init system option.
