I have been using Linux for a few years, usually some flavor of Debian. But recently I acquired an older Thinkpad and thought it would behoove me to use something more... involved.
So I chose to dive into Manjaro and only broke pacman once. So now the question... can I say I'm using Arch btw or is that a faux pas?

I mean my Job is already giving me impostor syndrome... I really do not need my Distro to make me feel that way...

I've been a big fan of Manjaro for exactly that reason. Something breaks occasionally and gives my skills a run for their money but a lot of the difficulty of running a rolling release gets nullified by the testing Manjaro does for you. It's a great compromise, you get almost bleeding edge for much less work than an arch installation can take.

I love me some Debian for their stability and security, I run Debian or Debian based servers mostly. But I wanted something closer to the bleeding edge for my desktop so I could make use of newer features, run newer packages etc...
