Manjaro was my first, and I’ll always have a sweet spot for it, but I think I’m past the point where I’d ever install it again. In the 3+ years I’ve been maining Linux(through manjaro) I’ve only had a problem so severe I’d reinstall twice. Which is better than my track history with windows. The only honest gripe I have with it, my buddy wanted a laptop set up like my PC, I told him if I can pick it out I’ll do it. So I got him a thinkpad, setup manjaro, set up a windows VM, and set up two different remote desktop hosts for redundancy. I told him any problem other than internet I can remote in and fix it. Then I moved 2k miles away.
Of course, 2 months later, he can’t access internet. Talking him through it over voice + sending me phone screen shots I got 90% of the way to fixed and he got frustrated and quit.
Makes me look bad. Now of course, I’d do Debian. I don’t hold it against me, i know more now. But I wish I could afford to visit him.
Manjaro, because because the team behind it fuck’s up a bit to often for my tastes. And Ubuntu, because they force snap onto their users.
