If this is in the wrong community let me know, but I have been away from linux for a little while now, and I have decided to come back to it. I am trying to figure out what Distro and Desktop environment I should use.

I used to use Ubuntu and, Ubuntu based Distributions, though for various reasons I had bad experiences with the ones based down stream of Ubuntu, I have also heard that Ubuntu is no longer nearly as good as they where before. As for desktop Experences, I never really liked Gnome. That being said from what I can tell there has been quite a bit that has changed sense I left, and any recommendations would be much appreciated.

    I use Manjaro.
    Standard comes with XFCE.
    It’s a rolling release and it’s package manager in my view is superior to apt, due to it’s better options to search for new packages, installed packages and files in packages,
    and being a deritave of Arch Linux, you can use Arch Linux documentation, which is one of the best documentations on installing and configuring Linux apps, making it easier for you to fix things yourself.
    Don’t use the Arch Linux forum though, Manjaro forum is good enough for that and the Arch Linux team are (understandably) quite grumpy.
