I've been on my first GNU/Linux distro for almost 3 months now. I picked Linux Mint (and I am okay with my choice, but I do think about how Manjaro as a first distro would be like), but now I have the need to switch to a different distribution, especially something rolling release.
I do not care about choosing every package that my system will have; I am fine with a little bit of software not being used on my system (This makes the incoming list preferred over Arch Linux). I care about an user distributed package manager (?) being there, such as AUR. I care about installs supporting a Window Manager such as i3. I care about my system not breaking due to an update on the OS (I have heard that this kind of stuff happens on Arch Linux, and that for this reason Manjaro filters the Arch Linux updates and gives a more stable experience (I also heard that they just delay the updates and call it stability).). So with these in mind, I have these distros and Arch Linux installers to choose from:
1- Manjaro
2- ArcoLinux
3- Garuda Linux
4- Endeavour OS
5- Anarchy Linux
I would highly appreciate any suggestion / discussion!
Forgot to do tags, I should get used to them. #gnu #linux #distro #arch #archlinux #manjaro #manjarolinux #debian #ubuntu #mint #linuxmint #arco #arcolinux #garuda #garudalinux #endeavouros #anarchylinux
@Pixificial I would recommend you go for Majaro's community i3 edition, I have used it on one of my machines for years without issue. Also you don't need to set up i3 asthetically which is nice cause it looks like garbage out of the box
