I recommend against using Manjaro, it is poorly maintained and has many downsides compared to something like EndeavourOS (which has a similar goal to manjaro with less downsides).
If you're comfortable using a specific package manager, go with a distro that uses that package manager. If you're already familiar with Mint, something else Debian based might suit your needs.
If you're still looking for the distro that's right for you, make sure to separate your
/and/homeinto different partitions during your next installation. This allows you to switch distros while keeping all your documents and personal files.If you're unsure which distro to try next, https://distrochooser.de/ gives you a set of questions and ranks distros on what would fit best to your needs.
Oh, sorry, but that wasn't a serious question. Just going on with the joke. I've been using Manjaro for the past 2 years, and I am happy with it. But I'll probably go with Arch on next install. If Mint still officially supported KDE Plasma, I'd be using that. I know, Kubuntu, but...
