I'm about to move to a laptop rather than my desktop, in the runup to a house move.

Today, I run #Debian #Stable (#bookworm) and the #XFCE desktop. That is all fine and dandy and fits my needs.

The question is whether to try something new. Be that underlying #distro or desktop.

I have tried many times to move away from #Debian. But the stability of stable is difficult to argue with. I have also tried many different desktops. Be that

Gnome, KDE, or Cinnamon.
All of these exhibit problem areas, for me at least.

With Gnome, the Files application is so limited that I end up installing #thunar from #XFCE. Plus, I have to add a handful of extensions to make things more readily useful to me.

With Cinnamon, it's largely okay except for the file browser again. Too slow.

KDE looks pretty, and some of the applets are cool. But stability suffers.

Should I stay with the tried and tested, or is there something out there that has all the features and stability of #Debian #Stable with #XFCE.

My nerd moment lately: having moved to Nextcloud and LibreOffice, I now have a much stronger usecase for using Linux in my day-to-day. I have installed Mint Xfce on a tiny shitty laptop (I'm talking 2gb RAM and 30gb SSD shitty) and I tweaked the settings using a guide, and I think it could really do the job for working on documents while out and about. I'm planning to just use it for editing documents via Nextcloud, and light web browsing.

I have the feeling a lot of #Linux users don't "get" #manjaro. I'll try to explain, for myself anyway. I'm an advance Linux user, but I'd never call myself a guru. I'm not an IT or CS guy. My main interest is, and always has been, to get away from #windows. I've learned enough to break things, and maybe not end up formatting the drive and reinstalling. It offers just enough customisation to make it my own (in my case, #xfce) Because it's a rolling release, the #software is up-to-date but also lags a week behind #Arch, which is fine by me. And at this point, it works for me, I've learned its quirks, and don't want to hop to something else.
