Hello, I’ve been using manjaro xfce for a few months now and I’m starting to wonder if I would enjoy any other distros more, I’m not really a technical person but I really do enjoy linux so i’m willing to learn new things.

I’m looking for a distro that is minimal while not being too complex, (Manjaro keeps breaking itself for a laugth)

Please leave distro recommendations in the comments below I will be sure to play with them in live boot or in a Vm.

Thank you and have a good day, Sebo

#Update: I tryed openSUSE Tumbleweed, EndevourOS and Arch and so far I’m enjoying arch the most (I installed it with help of the wiki and a youtube guide)

    Why is Manjaro shitting the bed when other distros aren’t? EndeavorOS isn’t, Garuda isn’t, even regular Arch isn’t.

      I suspect it has something to do with them deleting the pacman lock file in their system package update scripts to run a nested instance of pacman before while the first instance is still running…

      All to avoid their users needing to manually run a few changes that the Arch Devs have labeled as need manual intervention.
