I tested it a bit in a VM to get familiar with pacman and yay. Latest KDE Plasma 6 and more snaps in Ubuntu's future are the main reasons I want to switch.

As I don't use a separate home partition, I have an extra drive with BackInTime home dir backups and virtnbdbackup snapshots.

Is EndeavourOS stable enough for everyday use and would restoring home with BackInTime just work (as root user)?

Well, for one thing I don't use GRUB, so there's one obstacle off the list.

So I guess due to hubris my latest system update ran the yay cache to the limit of my storage capacity and I couldn't reboot into a graphical environment. I suspect it was the electron update, BTW.

So do I need that rescue USB? Of course not. In systemd-boot, press e, end key, space and 1 and you're booted into a command line environment.

paccache -ruk0 nukes the pacman cache to be on the safe side

yay -Scc to clear the yay cache completely

And you're off to the races again.

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.
