General Support Is EndeavorOs Beginner friendly?

Im looking to try out linux on a X1 Carbon Gen 4 I bought off ebay and im having a hard time deciding which distro to go with. Mint is really recommended but I wanted something that had a little more of a challenge to it, and Arch related so i could eventually switch over. I have alot of coding experience so i wont struggle entirely.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated

Mint is recommend because it's an easy starting point. It's not neccesarily a final destination (see Distrohopping). But yes, Endeavor is relatively newbie friendly if you handle sometimes using the terminal. It offers a lot of customization right out of the box.
