From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes it does, you can also leverage the AUR with yay.
What don’t you like about pacman?
No, I have no issue with pacman, it's the "garuda-update" script I don't care for. I see endeavour has eos-update which I haven't really looked at much but in Garuda if use "pacman -Syu" it will interrupt with "Garuda uses garuda-update for updates" - I know it's trivial and I don't have to use it but I don't like that. Don't interrupt my workflow to try and coerce me to use your script. Yes, it's a petty gripe but it feels very microsoft-like in the same way that Windows 11 will delay the launch of Firefox to tell you "Edge was built for Windows."
I see, no EndeavourOS does not do that, you can update your system a few different ways, you can use pacman-Syu or you can use yay.
Yay will pull from EndeavourOS mirrors and the AUR
