It’s also the best Linux distro! 🌱
Don't know about best, but it's very convenient, accessible, and easy to install.
If all someone is doing is browsing the internet or watching videos it's the best linux distro from an ease of use perspective.
Just replaced Mint with Manjaro KDE on my work laptop and it runs so much better. So I'm not quite on board with your statement.
I started with Mint because I just wanted it to work right away and it did. But lately I had severe issues with the VPN constantly reconnecting, weird keyboard issues and Teams killing the X session. Although I blame that last one fully on Teams, that fucking piece of shit. Plasma on Manjaro runs so smoothly and I finally have all the latest packages I need, so I'm quite happy at the moment.
Last I remember it was based off LTS Ubuntu editions, so it could fall behind. Was awhile ago since I switched, but I remember having issues getting modern Bluetooth devices working. Had to override the kernel and manually download the chipset's firmware files.
