It's easier with endeavourOS or Cachy OS if you don't want vanilla. As someone who's an Arch user, endeavourOS is better.

    OK. Guess i'm installing EndeavourOS alongside my current distro. (Fedora)

    But i still have one more question: When i tried to install EOS alongside Fedora in a VM, EOS's GRUB did not find fedora and vice versa. How do i fix that? (Sure, i could spam [ESC] each boot to select the os but that's just inconvenient.)

    You can reinstall grub using a grub2disk usb if something goes wrong. It might go better with real hardware than in a VM. I could be wrong though. Sorry I can't be more helpful in that regard, I don't use grub anymore.
