I’ve used many distros over the years. Manjaro has sane defaults, and I like the driver utility and the kernel tool a lot. Overall, Manjaro just works. I’m familiar with all the drama surrounding the distro, but I’m unbothered. I like using it.

I have machines running Debian and EOS too, but when I want something hassle free, like for the retro gaming / emulation machine in my living room, I choose Manjaro.
