Abstract EndeavourOS ARM is a derivative of the mainstream EndeavourOS distribution, designed to deliver a lightweight, Arch-based experience on ARM64 (AArch64) hardware. Unlike its x86-64 parent, which focuses on a streamlined Calamares installer and a curated selection of desktop environments, EndeavourOS ARM targets single-board computers (SBCs) and ARM-powered devices. This paper examines its architecture, boot process, package management alignment with Arch Linux ARM, hardware support matrix, and its role within the broader landscape of ARM distributions. 1. Introduction The ARM architecture dominates the embedded and low-power computing markets, yet the software ecosystem remains fragmented. While distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora offer ARM builds, they often deviate from the rolling-release, KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principles of Arch Linux. EndeavourOS ARM addresses this gap by providing an Arch-based environment that combines the flexibility of Arch Linux ARM with user-friendly installation and post-setup tooling inherited from EndeavourOS. they often deviate from the rolling-release
