      I would not reccomend Manjaro. It breaks often and is much less reliable than vanilla Arch or even Artix. Fedora is plenty bleeding edge enough for most gaming needs, Endeavour OS is a much better easy to use Arch based distro.

        Are you speaking from experience or just repeating what you’ve heard? I’ve used Manjaro daily for over 2 years and haven’t had an update bork my system ever, and I’ve even been on the testing channel for the past few months.

          From experience. When I was first starting out using Linux, I used Manjaro for around a month. It booked around twice, and I wasn’t able to fix it the second time by uninstalling some packages.

            I just asked because I find a lot of people across Linux spaces who absolutely trash it but their only source is some plaintext website that reads like a stalker keeping track of every mistake the manjaro team has ever made.

            I don’t know how long ago “when i was first starting out using Linux” was, but if it was longer than I’ve used it I’d venture to say that they’ve improved stability since then. The only exception seems to be EOL kernels and Nvidia drivers, since AFAIK pamac-gui does absolutely nothing to warn users that their kernel is EOL which is a bizarre decision.

      doesn’t Arch already have a setup script now? I’ve also seen multiple helper scripts for Arch. Manjaro has had a lot of mishaps in the past, it may not be completely safe .

        Arch has a setup script now. People say it is actually pretty good, if you know what you are doing. But that really is not something a newbie to the GNU/Linux world should be trying out (and planning to get any real work done with that system) unless they want to just have some fun. If you want some real work done on a working out-of-the-box system, using Arch setup scripts to install a clean Arch is definitely not the way. If one wants a working out-of-the-box Arch system (with all the Arch advantages but without any hassle connected to Arch installation), I would suggest going with ArcoLinux. Their excellent customized Calamares installer with plenty of options to choose from is a great way to get an Arch system working in no time. However, it is simply an Arch system, so you have to be prepared to solve the issues coming with a rolling distro and all that. Not a thing I would recommend to someone without the knowledge of Linux or the time to learn about Linux before the system can be used as a daily driver.

        But I agree that there always seems to be some problems with Manjaro here and there. Endeavour OS seems as a good choice for a working Arch system, too. However, they are all just Arch Linux. I would not recommend them for a newbie unless there is a good reason to use only them and nothing else.

        Therefore, I think that Fedora is a great choice for what is required in this case.
