I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based on Ubuntu, so no Pop OS. Is Manjaro a possibly good distro for me to check out?

    I’m not a distro hopper, but 6 years ago I ditched Windows and chose Manjaro in the i3wm flavor.

    I learned a lot initially and now “live in the terminal” whenever possible and I’m still using the same install.

    If you want to learn more about linux, I can recommend it.

    lDK if straight arch is better (as i’ve never used it) but I think I kinda prefer not having a constant flood of updates.

      You are literally me.

      Though after my introduction to Manjaro with i3, I switched to EndeavourOS with BSPWM.
