    Which one(s)

    Arch.

    why?

    1. The Arch-Wiki
    2. I like pacman
    3. The Arch-Wiki
    4. I wanted a rolling-release distribution.
    5. The Arch-Wiki
    6. It just works. I had only one more serious problem in ~8 years of running Arch
    7. Did I mention the Arch-Wiki?

    Edit:

    Having said that, I have an eye on immutable distros. Maybe one day I’ll try one out.

      The Arch wiki really is amazing. It’s also still very useful for Linux stuff in general. The qemu page has come in handy more than a dozen times.

      Is Manjaro good if I want in on this Arch goodness but don’t want to spend hours configuring stuff? Coming from Fedora

        Endeavour is better for that, after the install you’ll have plain arch but with a bunch of stuff installed and already set up

        I’ve been using manjaro for around a year. It broke on me once, probably my fault, idk. I enjoy it! I’ve distro hopped many places and a year is a long time for me, so much about it is right for me. You’ll certainly get a worthy experience of what arch is capable of, I believe.

        That being said, I plan on swapping to arch really soon.

        I haven’t used Manjaro myself but I heard that it is not as good as Arch. Rumors I heard where that it is not as solid as vanilla Arch. YMMV.
