@bmanhero Hey. 2 years ago I switched to Manjaro. Used it 1 and half a year and wasn't happy with it anymore, as it has its own problems and controversy, which I'm not getting into here. And half a year ago I switched to EndeavourOS, which is more closely based on Archlinux. It's very quiet different from Ubuntu with its rolling release model and community driven development of Archlinux and EndeavourOS. This was the main reason for me to use it, as I wanted to have the newest version of software that is available, plus the fantastic AUR.

I'm a bit more advanced nowadays and can handle that. Would not recommend it as a drop in replacement for Ubuntu; there are way more similar distributions.
