There was a much-loved Arch version called Antergos, which distinguished itself by installing your choice of DEs during installation. It was a project which ended last year, because the small team had lives, which prevented their continuation of the project.
EndeavourOS is just as easy to install as Manjaro, which is as easy to install as Ubuntu. The Calamares installer makes it easy.
You heard that correctly. It installs vanilla Arch in 8 minutes if XCFE, the default DE is installed, even offline. The other DEs need to downloaded, which means hardcore Arch users, and those who wish to try it, don't have to spend a significant amount of time. There's a meme of a woman with 6 cans of Red Bull strapped to her arm, and the caption is "Getting Ready to Install Arch."
And suddenly, installing pure Arch has been made easy to install.
Will wonders never cease?
