I wouldn't say goodbye manjaro there are still plenty of users using it. But I'm happy that my distro of choice so far (endeavourOS) is also on the chart I feel like it's a solid choice :)

I installed EndeavousOS on Feb 18, 2023, and it has given me the best gaming experience with the fewest of issues. Previously, I've tried Manjaro, PopOS and Tumbleweed and was met with issues early on that made running the latest AMD hardware troublesome in each, but I experienced none of that with EndeavourOS.

I'm currently on Nobara after EndeavourOS nuked itself and having the pleasure of experiencing their toxic community. I'm even considering going back to Manjaro at this point because that was still the most stable Linux experience I had. Maybe their website cert handling sucks but at least my system was running stable, for much longer at that.

I used to run Manjaro, too and I was happy with it until it broke one day after an update. Arch had launched the archinstall script by then so I tried it and honestly, it makes the installation too easy for Manjaro to make sense anymore.
