I'm looking to dual boot Windows 11 on my laptop, which has a Ryzen 3700u, 512GB SSD, and 8GB RAM. I want to run KDE along with Hyprland as my window manager. I'm curious about whether I should go with Fedora or Endeavour OS for my Linux setup. What are the pros and cons of each?

Honestly, if you're not sure, I'd say just pick one now for your current install and try the other next time you refresh your system. I went with Endeavour about a year ago and I've been really happy with it, but Fedora would’ve worked just as well for me. Don't overthink it too much!
In my opinion, Hyprland is definitely a great pick over traditional Arch-based distros if you’re looking for something modern. You should check out the Hyprland Wiki for more detailed info on setup and usage!
If you're leaning towards a rolling release and prefer to choose exactly what parts to include in your setup, I'd recommend Endeavour. It integrates well with the Arch ecosystem. On the other hand, if you want a system that just works out of the box with a tighter integration of features like SELinux, then Fedora is the way to go. Just a heads-up, combining KDE Plasma with Hyprland directly can lead to issues since they're both compositors, so you might want to explore using Kwin tiling scripts instead.
I can share my experience: I started with Linux Mint and tried out many distros until I landed on Arch Linux. I dabbled with Endeavour OS but had some issues with silent booting. That said, Arch installation is pretty straightforward now, so I'm not really sure how to help you decide between the two.
