Hi Marc,

I'm still using Linux on my desktop at home daily.

I'm currently giving Manjaro Linux a try. I used Arch Linux (btw) for maybe
ten years or something, but a few years ago realized I no longer had the
time and energy for hands on system admin. With Arch, I found quite often
after updating the system I needed to do this or that to ensure my
configuration remained, and I'd lost track and interest in doing so.

I tried Fedora for a couple of years or so. It was okay but there were some
aspects of Arch which I missed, such as the rolling release, and the
package manager.

That's why I decided to move to using Manjaro Linux, it's an Arch based
distro, but the Manjaro devs configure a working system so it's much less
hands-on than Arch and you get a working system up quickly.

Mint uses Cinammon desktop IIRC, which is what I've been using for several
years now too, it's nice easy and familiar.

Manjaro doesn't get a lot of respect from Linux techies, they'd suggest
EndeavourOS. Apparently the Manjaro devs made some mistakes at some point,
the devils :-D
