since manjaro is on fire rn, the question is whether you want a distro by a malicious corp, or a corp that’s abandoned the distro, accompanied by an uprising.
For Manjaro, it remains to be seen how the restructure will workout. They will become a non profit organization. The previous leadership (phil) was one of the reasons why I stopped using Manjaro a while ago, maybe 2 years by now. Just looked into the link a bit and… it’s worse than I thought.
Ubuntu has its own problems, but I think if the core infrastructure and leadership cannot be trusted, then no other decision on the project matters. So my personal vote would go for Ubuntu and against Manjaro, if I were to decide which of them to use.
If you want a beginner-friendly Arch distro I would recommend endeavourOS (though note that it doesn’t include package manager GUI by default and I like how terminal-centric it is)
I am on EndeavourOS since 2 years or so, after I stopped using Manjaro (and then before that I stopped using Ubuntu). I am personally not searching for a distribution right now, it was just a question to see what others would prefer. And I love EndeavourOS so far, its a great distribution.
What’s more trustworthy, Ubuntu or Manjaro?
