    Manjaro is very user friendly if you want KDE. It is IMHO more user friendly that Kubuntu. If you like GNOME then go with Ubuntu.

    Manjaro by default uses a wrapper over pacman [archlinux.fr] and also comes with UI for it (that I never use, but it works).

    Really, imagine Kbuntu, then imagine it was as first class citizen of canonical-land as Ubuntu. That's Manjaro.

    Just a happy user. All I had to do was forget about leaving systemd.
