This will be for a physically small i5 laptop for various programming fun. The candidate linux should be easy to install, and provide a large selection of CLI programs.

    Maybe Endeavor? It’s easier to install than plain Arch, and you’ll have access to pacman’s repositories. If that’s not enough you also have access to the AUR, which is… well… the AUR.

      Also doesn’t Endeavor go with something besides systems?

        Systemd? No it looks like Endeavor uses systemd. Since Arch uses systemd, it would be a pain in the arse for them to switch it out, I guess

          Yeah, systemd can root itself pretty deeply, it is just its nature. I am only a little against systemd. I run Debian 12 and it uses systemd.
