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?
It’s mostly fine but has had enough issues over the years I stopped using it for my “I want arch but I’m lazy” distro. Arch itself is really not hard to install these days but if you find it too intimidating endeavor is basically just arch anyway but with an installer.
Speaking of arch-installer there is an install script included with arch that can get you to the graphical desktop of your choice with little input. I used it for my current install and it was very easy.
That’s what I was referring to. I don’t use it because I have a list of packages I install in a file but the one time I did it was very easy.
Oh, I thought you were talking about EndeavourOS.
I reffered to both, archinstall is still text based I think so it can still be intimidating for new users.
