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.

But what did you like about Manjaro compared to other distributions? If I introduce someone who's never used the internet before to Internet Explorer 6, they might claim to like it very much as well.
I like the AUR and rolling-release model.
It's pretty much a pre-configured arch that's easier to maintain.
@BaconIsAVeg I agree with your statement. I liked Manjaro because it felt a little bit more faster on my potato PC and it that it looked nice (i know you can customize every distro to your liking, but I'm the kind of person that just uses the defaults). Before i used Fedora, Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux mint.
For a few years now i am using openSUSE for my daily tasks and windows for some light gaming (i still have the same potato PC, but upgraded with SSD)
