From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

if you are willing for forget the minimal aspects, I would recommand garuda linux, it has an horrendous default theme and pretend to be for gamers, but in reality it is a solid arch install with good gui tools for updates and system maintenance, and it also has things pre-configured that would take a while for you to do, like the magical btrfs snapshots, which means if you or an update break something, you can make your system go back in time without losing any personal data all from the grub menu

Nobara Linux (also aimed for gamers) has similar btrfs snapshots though not as intuitive and it’s not enabled by default also it’s based on Fedora. I have the KDE flavor as my main OS but I’ve never used the snapshot feature yet.

Are you using garuda ?

A friend of mine tried it and found garuda's tool really useful, but while setting his firewall, he realised that garuda send lots of data. It made him uninstall it immediatly.

If it's a concern for you, you might want to check that.

Prove it. It's probably background updating or something, I highly doubt it's spyware.

Also, "datas"? Excuse me.

If you're not a technical person, Fedora. I'd choose GNOME (ie the default) or KDE Plasma Wayland though. Wayland is far more secure than X(org), and that's what XFCE uses.

Mint is very stable. But maybe take a look into the issues and confirm if it's actually manjaro causing the problem.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Non-technical, no break, stable: Linux Mint.

Regarding Manjaro, maybe try the Plasma version. I have several friends/relatives on it for the last few years and never have to fix problems for them. And these are not technical people.

Manjaro is not breaking it self. You are and you have to learn to prevent that. Going with some immutable is not going to teach you much.
