Have you considered a fixed release in combination with rolling applications (i. e. Flatpak, Snap)?

If you choose Fedora (preferably one of the atomic variants, like Silverblue), you would also get a rolling kernel and rolling KDE Plasma desktop, so overall the experience can be quite close to a rolling release distribution if you install the desktop applications via Flatpak.

Ubuntu "interim" (non-LTS) releases are usually also fairly current and could be a good choice if you don't mind Snap. There's also the option of following the Ubuntu "devel" branch, which always refers to the current pre-release version of Ubuntu (e. g. 24.04 at the moment) and is rolling.

Just wanted to give you a different direction to think about. ;)

Just FYI, if you like EndeavourOS, you should know that it's essentially an installer for Vanilla Arch (unlike Majaro which is Arch-based).

So you may have just had bad luck when you tried Vanilla Arch that you didn't have with EndeavourOS -- but there's no real difference between the 2 besides manual vs GUI installer.
