A week ago I switched to Manjaro after spending the last 12 years pretty significantly on Ubuntu. While I did it for unrelated reasons, it's amazing how many minor niggles that I'd gotten used to on my Thinkpad laptop have completely disappeared: * My wifi used to slow down multiple times a day, and speed up again after I turned it off and on. * Right-click context menu in Firefox often failed to copy links to the clipboard. * The file dialogs in Firefox became weird after an upgrade a year or so ago. I could no longer hit Esc to dismiss them. 50% of the time, pressing ctrl+o to bring up the file open dialog and continue spamming o's into it until I killed Firefox. Or it would spam ctrl+o's spawning ever more file open dialogs until I killed Firefox. I blamed Firefox for many of these. But now I'm not so sure. Manjaro has been great. I didn't realize the extent to which software can vary at all levels between distributions. Now I think of distributions like different places with different weather. If you don't like the climate in one, try another one (maybe just off a USB stick). It might be very different.
