Mind to elaborate a little bit more about the Manjaro problem? I am driving it since a couple of years without any issue but I keep hearing this… now I am afraid :)

well, I has been already years using Manjaro and never happened to me.
Not that it can’t, but never happened to me and I hope it wont :)

Manjaro Gnome. It just works ;)

This is nice!

Still, I would like to have an equal list of non GAFAM channels, heh.
I know “The Linux Experiment” (the best of those channels IMO) has a peertube:

any other around?

Manjaro. I am a guy of habits, so I never really distro-hopped, I once tried to install Arch and failed to configure everything so I tried endeavour and failed too (which would mean I am not a tech guy either ;). Ultimately, I’d say that the distribution does not matters much once you are used to it, you can always get what you want from any of them. The only thing I really like in comparison with others is pacman :)
