It is or not what you are capable of, it is what you want to do. I have been using Linux since before Slackware; I can install Arch. So, what did I do recently when I needed to setup a spare iMac to prepare a course I am reaching on the side? I used EndeavourOS. My goal had nothing to do with proving my Linux skills. I just needed a nice environment to work in, I needed it quickly, and I needed easy access to quite a lot of other up-to-date software just as quickly and easily. What I needed was Arch with a great installer. Honestly, even just installing yay by default so that I can dive right into the AUR is a great convenience. If there really is something that requires my configuration later, I can do that. If I need to. If there is something beyond my knowledge the Arch wiki is amazing and ( unlike Manjaro ) it is 100% applicable to EndeavourOS. . For me, EndeavourOS strikes the perfect balance.
