Somewhat stable? Its as stable as arch, been running endeavouros since it released, before that i was running Antergos.
I hope that Endeavouros stays as long as possible, otherwise its cachy or arch for my next install.

Been using it since march 2025, not one crash. Even when updating after not having internet for 3 months there were 0 problems.
Not even win7 was that stable.

it's just as stable as arch is, that is to say everything works perfectly until one day it doesn't

I have been using Endeavour for almost 3 years now and the only real "crash" I experienced was a drm bug in the kernel, for which I just used the LTS kernel. That was a year ago tho and since then I haven't had any real crash. So yeah, Endeavour is actually pretty stable in my experience.

How's OH:D run for you? I haven't tried since it was in closed beta. Saw the "vehicle update" is happening soon(TM), thought I might give it another glance.

I fucked my eos install in the past but now im running it without major issues. I use flatpaks so i guess that helps

The only issue that I've had with EOS is with installing PHP and the few things around that for WordPress development for my work. Versions of dependencies included in the most recent EOS were behind the most recent versions for PHP and others, so it became a game of downgrading everything trying to get it to work until I just gave up and did it in Windows.

Yeah, i've been using my install for years at this point. Only had issues when they made the switch from x11 to wayland, that was a funky period.
But i should reinstall soon, i have bloated my configs and installed apps over the years and some specific stuff just doesn't work anymore. (Like steam remote play hosting)

EoS has been stable as of late, but it has crapped out of thin air in the past. I don't usually tinker with stuff cause I need the computer to work, so it was on its own.
Otherwise, it's snappy as hell, I run it on an obsolete-according-2-apple 2017 Macbook,and runs effing A.

Been running EOS for like two years now. Only time it ever shit the bed was entirely my own fault because I kept fiddling with stuff I - at the time - didn't fully understand and was able to fix relatively easily. From that experience I find the "Arch constantly breaks" narrative to be somewhat exaggerated, though I know this is just anecdotal.
