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?

    I was forced to switch from manjaro to fedora at work a year ago (we were forced to pick between Ubuntu or Fedora) and I miss it. Things break more often on fedora, I now even lag 1 release behind so that I don’t have to deal with breaking updates. I didn’t have any problems with manjaro. Still use it at home

      Curious to know what was broken on Fedora. My experience with Fedora has been very stable.

      You have been using Fedora raw hide? On the latest stable Fedora releases thing break significantly less often than on Manjaro.

        Most common are probably issues with login screen, e.g. not updating it, not showing login field input. I use x11+kde, same as it was on manjaro
