Endeavor OS is so Simple I cannot get AbiWord Installed

For a me who believe in "Small is Beautiful" decided to Install Endeavor OS in a spare Partition.
Installation took 18 mintues  3 minutes faster than an average Linux Installation but I was left with Fitefox and lot of information from the Web without how to install AbiWord.
I am Installing Reborn OS which is the easiest of all ARCH Distribution from which I can install anything from ARCH Repository including almost all the Dedktops.
My problem is I am firmly grounded on GNOME and I do not want to try KDE.
By the way, BlueStar Linux has a good KDE Desktop with the free ability customize it.
I do not want to waste my time customizing KDE.
Endeavor OS completely mis my GRUB file.
It does not have panels or slides in between waiting periods of installation.
It looks like Reborn OS is finishing installation before I finish this blog piece faster than Endeavor OS including my Abiword.
Reborn OS has a beautiful bootup Plymouth.

Problem with Manjaro Exists

Problem with Manjaro Exists 
I wondered why I did not use Manjaro for long time. 
It is the same old problem.
It cannot read a complicated Partition Table of mine.
I have 33 partitions only two of then FAT, one EFI and the Other Big FAT file. I have to go to FAT since lately Debian does not support proprietary NTFS file system.
I cannot install it at all.
If I want to install it I have to erase my hard drive and install it first, and install others later. I have done this in the past. It can coexist with other ARCH derivatives, then.
I hope they sort out this inability read EXT4 files when they are above 15 partitions.
SuSe had the same problem and that is why I left SuSe long time ago. 
 
I am going to try Endeavor OS instead.
