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?
I've used Arch, Manjaro, and Endeavour. For ease of use it's between Manjaro and Endeavour and I'd pick Endeavour. Arch is great too. When you're ready to go deeper, give it a shot.
