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

    Sure but not every linux user is striving to become a sysadmin. I am totally with on the cli love, but I also understand that this isn’t everybodys jam. Learning the basics of your packet manager is enough imo, the rest comes with time through tinkering

      Here’s my take: If you’re going to learn Linux, go about it the right way and not the laziest way possible. You would be incorrect about simply learning the basics of the package manager. What happens if the package you’ve installed breaks something and uninstalling the package does not work?

        We are going in circles here, your perspective is skewed because you are looking from a very distinct professional viewpoint. Whereas I recognize big “userbase” which wants linux just to “work”, without “tinkering”. You are never going to persuade those to learn the terminal in the way you described.

        And again I am a long time user not versed in awk, regex etc. and I have minimal problems helping myself when in trouble with linux.

        Basically your suggestions goes to far…

        Thats all I am saying.
