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)
Are you using garuda ?
A friend of mine tried it and found garuda’s tool really useful, but while setting his firewall, he realised that garuda send lots of data. It made him uninstall it immediatly.
If it’s a concern for you, you might want to check that.
Prove it. It’s probably background updating or something, I highly doubt it’s spyware.
Also, “datas”? Excuse me.
English may not be their first language.
It’s complicated to prove you that my friend told me this, it was an oral conversion with no recording, but I can swear we talked a bit about it.
It was more about the applications compiled by garuda than the system itself. He told me they were communicating with Google and other stuff a lot.
I didn’t try it by myself, (and I don’t have the time to install a distribution just to check that). It might be for update, it might be nothing. That’s why I asked if he was using Garuda and that it was something he might want to check… Or not.
I hope you didn’t need to bleach your eyes after reading my post. I have corrected the error and even added a missing word in the last sentence.
Look at the source code. Pinging Google is not necessarily a bad thing. Either way, Manjaro is worse. They really need to get their act together.
