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.

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.

You are trolling us.

If you want stable, the answer is not Manjaro. If you do not have time for debugging, the answer is for sure not Manjaro.

Suit yourself. I'm telling you that you're sleeping on one of the most user-friendly, up to date, gaming-ready, stable and generally hassle free distros out there, and it's coming from someone who actually tried all the popular ones.

In exchange you just have to stick to a LTS kernel and not replace critical system components from AUR. Which I think you'll agree are reasonable conditions for all Arch distros, heck, all distros.

Try it, don't try it, up to you.
