From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Distro Recommendations From Manjaro (lemmy.one)

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

#Update: I tryed openSUSE Tumbleweed, EndevourOS and Arch and so far I'm enjoying arch the most (I installed it with help of the wiki and a youtube guide)

Manjaro is not breaking it self. You are and you have to learn to prevent that. Going with some immutable is not going to teach you much.

Why is Manjaro shitting the bed when other distros aren't? EndeavorOS isn't, Garuda isn't, even regular Arch isn't.

I suspect it has something to do with them deleting the pacman lock file in their system package update scripts to run a nested instance of pacman before while the first instance is still running...

All to avoid their users needing to manually run a few changes that the Arch Devs have labeled as need manual intervention.
