I'm like OP, can find my way around things but am lazy. I second this recommendation, but I just had a negative experience on it die to laziness. Got lazy around updates, let them pile up to 600 pending updates, ran them all at once and my laptop just became unresponsive. Naturally, I forced its shutdown like a caveman and had to spend the following 6 hours recovering my partition. The nice thing is that endeavour at least has some nice commands to deal with just this kind of situation. The not so nice thing is that I was lazy about looking shit up, hence the 6 hours. The command that saved me was "reinstall-kernels", fixed my systemd-boot in an instant and fixed whatever other mess I had caused.

So yeah, it can be frustrating sometimes. Especially if you're lazy.

FYI Plasma Wayland doesn’t start with SDDM, you have to edit ~/.bash_profile and remove the “startx” line (or comment it out)

Arch has an installer, EndeavourOS is pointless. also mkinitcpio > dracut, you don't need a firewall, paru > yay. just use Arch
