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.

As someone not working in IT and not very knowledgeable on the subject, I've had way less issues with Manjaro than with Mint, despite reading everywhere that Mint "just works". Especially with printers.
Yeah, Manjaro just works, until it doesn't. Don't get me wrong, I love Manjaro, used it for years, but if it breaks it's a pain in the ass to fix, and also hard to get help because the Arch community will just reply with "Not Arch, not my problem" even if it's a generic error, and the Manjaro community is not as prominent.
I could also mention them letting their SSL certificate expire, which doesn't inspire a lot of trust, but they haven't done that in a while.
