Ventoy looks very useful , thanks!
I will check the Manjaro stuff out, when I used it in the past I had no complaints
I use Manjaro.
I do not recommend it.
I've had to timeshift out of a borked updates too many times to count.
My only experience with it is on the pinephone, which was... interesting ('cool, linux on a phone!'), until the update system broke a couple months later. I've tried several times to fix it now and it's still broken. It's been 3+ years now.
I lost both of my mSD cards I have, so I can't even load an alternative distro until I find them, or pay another like $30 for another one.
EndeavourOS on the other hand, I set up BTRFS with grub bootable timeshift snapshots and have never gotten to use them once. In my experience at least, EndeavourOS is blatantly superior to Manjaro. Give it a whirl if you haven’t yet.
Go with EndeavourOS instead of Manjaro. Similar design principles, but much more consistent functionality. Been running it on my laptop for over two years now and still haven't had to reinstall it.
I definitely had to reinstall Manjaro way too much. Endeavor only broke for me when Grub broke for everyone.
I've had it break a couple times, but each time I've been able to fix it.
I didn’t bother reading the other comments before giving my glowing recommendation of EndeavourOS, I’m always happy to see other people having as good of an experience as I’ve had.
