    Manjaro is the Linux Mint of Arch linux (non derogatory). its stable but let's you enjoy the benefits of arch but you you're tired after work and don't want to have to tweak your bspwm dotfiles for the thousandth time because a program doesn't respect your rules

    I've done my years of carefully tweaked TWMs and manually installed Arch but seriously after 8-9 hours of dealing with computers, you dont want to have to deal with random stupid issues and Manjaro is perfect for that

    CachyOS also falls into this category. It's basically Arch (btw) but frankly everything just works without fiddling with anything. Also gaming, but if that's not what you do, this is still just as great of an option.

    It was a great system to learn the arch user repository on! That and the fact I still have it on a halftop of mine are the only good things I have to currently say about it

    The only good thing manjaro did for me was getting me comfortable enough with cli to switch to endeavouros.

    And now I have a healthy distrust for any distro that does not have a GMT -8 timezone in its installer list.
