Message: [QUOTE="diapered, post: 87309, member: 143752"] Flatpak support is not exclusive to Fedora (Manjaro has good support and I use a few). Also, as other's have mentioned, you do need to use caution with them, so I wouldn't base my choice of distro on that... What is it about Fedora do you like? I don't think Endeavor has a gui for software and package management. Correct me if I am wrong, but you pretty much need to use the command line right? I think it is the same for Garuda, but at least Garuda has the gui "assistant" that helps with maintenance (updates etc.) which I thought was cool; I got curious about Garuda but haven't played around too much, probably more this weekend. For that reason though, I wouldn't recommend those to someone new to linux, no matter how easy the installation is... Yes everyone needs to learn the command line, but package management is just asking for trouble. If you want a friendly Arch based distro (or distro in general, imo) that is easily Manjaro. Mint is fine, and I installed the recent xfce desktop version on my old laptop to give it another try and was impressed (haven't used mint in probably ~6-7 years?), but retroarch did not work otb while it has never given me trouble across my three laptops with manjaro. Also mint ran slower (in my opinion) than manjaro xfce which I previously had installed on it. It's a trash laptop and manjaro would also chug at points and it is not a HUGE difference, but it was noticeable. [/QUOTE]
