    I went from Ubuntu to Arch and I think I'm here to stay. Ubuntu was unstable for me for some reason. I would get freezes and crashes all the time. I feel like Canonical is making things slower and bloated but I have had pretty smooth experiences with Linux mint. On Arch I've been getting amazing uptime. But to each ones own, if you like it, who am I to judge.

    I'm considering leaving Ubuntu. I'm currently looking at Manjaro because I don't think I have enough time to invest in learning arch. Any tips?

    One of my favorite features of arch is the aur, and because manjaro lags behind arch releases, you can run into trouble. If you want arch without the install difficulties, I would try something like endeaver os or garuda. You'll end up with actual arch in the end and you wont end up with some of outdated certs or whanever manjaro ucks up nowadays.

    While you're absolutely correct, in my personal experience Manjaro has been perfectly stable even with somewhat heavy use of the AUR.

    Mine too, but I did switch because I needed to reinstall and I would have just swiched out most of the tools that come preinstalled, to the point I didn't know why I would even use manjaro instead of arch if I'm reinstlling everything anyway...
