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?

    Seconding EndeavourOS as an alternative, I used to use Manjaro and eventually the dependency conflicts (because every non-AUR package is about 2-weeks out-of-date) drove me insane enough to switch to Endeavour. I haven’t had a problem with the exception of a broken grub update last year, which AFAIK wasn’t just an EndeavourOS problem and they’ve since taken action to prevent something like that from occurring again.
