Endeavouraos, arch but also easy

Smino just in general. love for rent is pretty good

Carrot Season too classic hip hop

If you’re willing to go a bit out of hip hop you’d probably love Dijon. Our tastes seem pretty similar. I’m assuming you listen to Freddie Gibbs? If not Bandana for sure collab with madlib and it sounds amazing

Iirc manjaros problem is that its half arch in that it does staggered updates which doesnt mesh well with aur.

EndeavourOS handles the install so you dont have go through a complicated install just like manjaro does. But from there you basically have a barebones arch install with no staggered updates or anything. So all the kde packages should be up to date there too.

I did try manjaro forst and ditched it but i dont remember why.

I do use gnome though so take this with a grain of salt.

I can say I’ve never had a stability issue with arch though.

Distro hopping gets addictive and honestly if you’re happy with where you are i wouldnt recommend you switch anything.

Buuuuut if you’re going to do it anyways EndeavourOS. Its arch for begginers you can branch out to more complex things if you want but the install is painless and works out the box. Arch is in general VERY customizable but its a double edged sword so having guardrails during the setup is helpful.

Plumbing. I could live without almost every modern comfort but a flushable toilet

This one surprises me. I had always thought Quebec had a strong cultural identity. How do you see it happening?

EndeavourOs makes it super simple too
