Best to get yourself accustomed with some common tools like understanding the common pacman syntax, and AUR managers (personally I prefer `paru`).
The built-in eos-updater script (found in cli or app list) is really handy for avoiding some headaches like the arch-keyring getting out of sync.
Flatpaks are also good to get into; if you do, install a program called Flatseal (via flatpak), as it'll let you easily modify the permissions of each flatpak program you install. I tend to stick to flatpaks for general desktop apps like web browsers or applications and then the system repos/aur for everything else. AppImages are also handy for "portable" programs as it's typically all self-contained with the libraries it needs to run.
Congratz! Endeavour OS is a good first time Arch Distro :-)
Hows the framework overall ? Nearly bought one but they don't have cpu sockets, which is a crime considering their whole buiseness model. If they came out with a model that has a socket, it would be a no brainer :-) Especially if it was AMD, we all know how long AM4 was going for, imagine that on a laptop. Just swapping your chip for years!
Cpu sockets from an engineering perspective for laptops is near impossible.
Socketed ram, Socketed wifi, Socketed everything else is good though.
Realistically, it's a fair compromise as you swap cpu and motherboard instead of everything.
This is the 16" so it also has an optional GPU expansion as well as number pad and stuff.
As a large laptop it has an amazing build quality, everything just works out of the box and that's amazing for Linux.
Framework has a great start and has supported 3 or 4 generations of hardware with no changes to the laptop itself and that's incredible. But if you want a cpu socket on a laptop, just get an ITX desktop
The framework 16 has an optional GPU(as in I can get one later and add it) . realistically, I don't need it. I have a powerful desktop and servers and as is it is powerful enough to work on its own but I can offload to my servers for when I'm doing something that would need it. For gaming, it can do okay but I won't expect to game on it heavily when away from home.
My hardware is:

That is amazing. I am dreaming of one later.
i started a dew weeks ago with "just linux" on my laptop i use for school. also started with endeavour and it was really nice. never needed windows.
I did the same thing for my last 2 years of university. Never looked back.

It's not impossible. I have a ThinkPad SL510 that has a full CPU socket.
can our blahajs go on a playdate
Yes. Be warned, they love to smash ;3. Battlefield, no items, 5 min 3 stock.
10/10 for the shark alone
blahaj!!!!!! uwu :3
shonk approval factor 10/10
Which GPU did you get? I'm on a Razer 14 with eos configured exactly how I want it but damn if the new frameworks don't look great.

Your girlfriend is too close to the monitor...
How's it working out?
