    IDK, when it comes to gaming I find it much easier to install all the weird community patches via AUR vs other distros. I’m on PopOS right now, but if I wanted to reinstall I’d go with Manjaro.

    It seems to be the best choice if you want the benefits of Arch but not have to install it manually, which I think is a needlessly difficult process. I wish they had a more bare bones version through. And I know about Arch’s autoinstall script. I’ve had bad luck with it.

      Wouldn’t recommend Manjaro, if you install anything from the AUR, there’s a good chance your system will just refuse to boot after an update someday (speaking from personal experince btw). I’d go with EndeavourOS instead, which is also arch based and makes the install super easy.

        I accept a certain level of volatility with my Linux experience. And I’ve not had any issues with AUR packages yet. I’ve been using a few Manjaro laptops for a while. But, that doesn’t mean that it can’t happen.
