    Endeavour is committed (their philosophy) to no GUI, only CLI commands, so keep that in mind.

    That’s actually the first time I’ve seen that mentioned. It’s not highlighted on their website, in fact I had to go digging for this old 2019 article to get some insight on the philosophy there.

    I’m not afraid of CLI so this is fine. I’m not an expert by any means but using it more will push me to learn. The updater frontend in Manjaro is kind of inconsistent anyway (e.g. it only shows Flatpaks sometimes) so I’ve often found myself using pacman in the terminal already.

      Yeah, they don’t advertise it, but if you are on the forum, the devs let you know, especially if you need help with any GUI…“We don’t support…” Not saying the devs are bad, lovely people, but that is just their thing.

          It’s not like you can’t install Endeavour and then install Majaro’s pamac anyway. Hell, I use Arch but still have pamac installed. Sometimes I just want a gui package manager.
