Thanks for the info, and the link. I will read it over. I'm thinking I'll probably move back to PopOS when they release their DE Cosmic. I used to run pop and loved it, but really wanted to try an arch distro. Endeavor looks great, but I'm not interested in anything "terminal centric" which is the first sentence on their site. But thanks for the suggestion!
Manjaro w/ KDE was my daily driver OS for several years before I switched to EndeavourOS w/ KDE a few months ago. The only major difference between the two that makes EndeavourOS more "terminal centric" is that you have to use the CLIs pacman and yay for installing packages, as Pamac the GUI package manager is something Manjaro provides. That said, I highly recommend making the switch and think with some small adjustments, you'll feel right at home.
CLI-centric does not sound great for an HTPC, though. I think Manjaro is not bad choice for hassle free TV computers with modern hardware. It has much better hardware support than Ubuntu out of the box. Updates rarely break something other than Gnome (I find anything else incredibly hard to use on a TV) extensions. It does not get in the way and it rarely needs my attention.
Yeah, it's a easy use. That's a major plus in my book. I really don't want to babysit my appliances.
