HP has been great for linux printing for decades. Hplip is awesome!  

I got my printer working with Arch easily enough: Install cups and hplip Enable cups.service Install system-config-printer Add my userID to the lp group reboot run sytem-config-printer The system found my network printer and added it. I was able to print a test page. Edit: I had to install python-pyqt5 to get the HP-Toolbox to run.

I like Endeavour a lot. Their Xfce desktop is far more attractive than I could generate on my own, and they have most of the tools I would want pre-installed - plus those nifty graphical updates. They do tend to be moving away from Xfce to Plasma but Xfce continues to be available, along with many other desktops. However, the archinstall script has brought Arch Linux very close in terms of user friendliness and makes it harder for me to use a derivative distro - even a virtual Arch clone.
