I made it to customizing the OS, realized it was a waste of time, and just stuck with Linux Mint to skip all the distro hopping and inevitable troubleshooting that creates. I like it because it's not Windows and everything else is irrelevant.
I lost the friends and family anyway, they all use apple/windows.
Manjaro is the best "it just works" distro I've found as well, after years of distro hopping. Still try others occasionally, but everything else just feels clunky and half-baked by comparison. At least for desktop daily drivers. Servers and other specialized purposes are a different story.
Agreed. That's what drew me to Arch-based distros, without the headache of Arch proper. Server hosting best left to distros with more stable/periodic release cycles. Then there's the systemd can of worms. I have no dogs in that fight.

Inevitably, something gets critically borked and you spend the next two days going clean slate.
