I don't think i've ever heard of crystal linux before. Nice rice btw.
I think it was started mainly to have a working example of the cool GTK installer they created (Jade), I wonder what is its main selling point as a distro now though
I wanted to experience Arch and wanted something simple and quick (I was busy those days, so DIY Arch wasn't a choice). I tried EndeavourOS, but it wasn't simple: they made many configurations to the system, which ruined the vanilla experience of all the WMs and DEs. I started looking for alternatives, and I found Crystal to be attractive and well-maintained, so I went for it. I think its selling point is being as simple, friendly, and vanilla as possible.
Oh, good point! Endeavor is custom to certain extent so I guess this fits the "GUI Arch" spot pretty well
