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?

      So you admit that it’s super rare you encounter these bad Manjaro users that have offended you so much, and then decide to make generalizations about the entire Manjaro community and the distro? Yes, you absolutely ARE the problem.

      Let me put it this way. If in real life you went into a crowd of people, called them all stupid for being there, and told a few of them to go fuck themselves, you would get punched in the face. Just because you’re on the Internet doesn’t make this kind of behavior okay.

      From this comment thread, I can already tell you simply don’t understand why anyone would use a computer in a different way than you do. It’s absolutely fine to be opinionated about how you want to run your personal machines, but to tell others so vehemently that they’re wrong for wanting a different computing experience other than the one you’ve “deemed” correct…well that’s just silly.

      It’s not wrong for someone to want something in between, say for example Fedora or Ubuntu, and Arch. Heck, the reason why so many Arch-derivatives exist is because a lot of people want it. You telling other people that they either go full-Arch or they’re stupid IS gatekeeping.
