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)

    if you are willing for forget the minimal aspects, I would recommand garuda linux, it has an horrendous default theme and pretend to be for gamers, but in reality it is a solid arch install with good gui tools for updates and system maintenance, and it also has things pre-configured that would take a while for you to do, like the magical btrfs snapshots, which means if you or an update break something, you can make your system go back in time without losing any personal data all from the grub menu

      I second Garuda. Much better than Manjaro tbh, and they don't have 2,763 controversies surrounding them.

      Nobara Linux (also aimed for gamers) has similar btrfs snapshots though not as intuitive and it’s not enabled by default also it’s based on Fedora. I have the KDE flavor as my main OS but I’ve never used the snapshot feature yet.
