I made a post a few days ago asking your opinion on Manjaro and it was very mixed, with a slightly negative overall opinion. I heard some recommend EndeavourOS instead and did some online research and it seems to be pretty solid and not have the repository problem that Manjaro has.
Just for context I am a Linux noob and have only used Mint for about the past six months. While I don’t have any major complaints, I am looking to explore more distros and the Arch repository with its rolling releases. I am not a huge fan of how certain packages on apt are a few years old and outdated. However, I also don’t have the time to be always configuring my OS and just want something that works well out of the box.
Is EndeavourOS a solid choice?
That was the first distro switching from Mac. Obviously. Used for 5 days only. Everything is too simple to make it convinient and easy to use. Top taskbar is absolutly useless, yet takes some vert space. Replacing most default apps or try Mint? Mint was ok (BTW).
Top taskbar? Are you sure you didn’t use the vanilla XFCE setup or GNOME? Mint sucks and has a bad track record.

Mint got hacked and bad ISOs got uploaded, oh and when I used mint, the upgrade from 19.1 to 19.3 didn’t work. Unfixable broken packages.
EnOS’es Cinnamon is plain cinnamon, without any Mint extras.
