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 love arch as much as the next guy but it can be a bit of a bugger to install. It’s reasonable to want a little more simplicity with all of the benefits of arch.

        Look up Calam Arch Installer. It’s an installer ISO for Arch (using official Arch repos) that uses the Calamares installer which is the same installer Manjaro uses. It makes Arch easy to install, I’ve used it for all my Arch installs.
