If the person who recommended you Manjaro is close by (say, a room mate) and will help you if it breaks, then by all means go for it. I used it for about a year and found it quite prone to breaking, which usually wasn't fatal, but was quite annoying after a while. If it's your first Linux distro and you don't have a friendly support guy close by, I'd recommend you look around a bit more.

Ah, well this isn't someone I talk to very much. Thanks for the warning.

What distro would others' recommend?

[-] suborbital@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

IMO, go with either Fedora Workstation or Pop! OS (I would probably lean towards Pop! OS since its your first experience with Linux)
