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)

    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.
