I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

    never really bothered with the spinoffs, as the model of Arch makes them useless and more problematic to deal with

    I highly enjoy using EndeavourOS. But then again, I wouldn’t classify it as a spinoff, it’s pretty much vanilla Arch, but purple.

    Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

      Mind to elaborate a little bit more about the Manjaro problem? I am driving it since a couple of years without any issue but I keep hearing this… now I am afraid :)

        I hope it works for you forever. I am not going to get in an argument with the other Manjaro users here that will come to argue with you.

        Just keep in mind that most of the people warning you away from Manjaro have a story that basically sums up as “I used to love Manjaro until, one day, it totally broke on me. Now I won’t touch it.” Sadly, this includes me. Will you join us one day? I hope not.
