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)

    Manjaro may lead you to believe that Arch distros bteak. It is not Arch, it is Manjaro.

    For me, Arch or EndevourOS have been very stable. Manjaro was / is a time-bomb.

      Yes, yes yes. As a person who’s used EndeavorOS for at least 3 years, if it breaks, it’s because I broke something, (like accidentally deleting my DE), not because my apps went to dependency hell.

      During the 3 years I spent on Endeavour it happened a couple times that new packages would break something: once with ALSA and once with PipeWire, so mainline packages and not something from the AUR. I managed to get things fixed but they’ve been both busy afternoons.
      Small inconveniences aside, I had a really great time with that distribution

      Arch distros still require you to read the release notes before updating. It’s not a hassle free affair, and those who don’t do it are bound to break their system once in a while.
