How to choose a Linux distro (my way)

get any debian distro with kde or xfce

boom done

@Ducxy XFCE looks too old

Also, Arch is super good.

I recommend Manjaro to people who know enough linux to survive a day with it (it means not much).

Obviously, the KDE edition

how does that look old

@Ducxy bad icons and outdated design

Don't see much of a 'guide' here, KDE vs GNOME is a personal preference because the two are different in terms of customizability and support for certain things, however, over the years the performance gap between KDE and Xfce has shrunk, this is largely due to the fact that KDE has a much bigger base of developers on it than Xfce, but simplicity is still a factor, not sure why you would call Xfce 'outdated', it's simply not the case, it's a matter of design preference, as Xfce was and still kind of is 'marketed' for performance and simplicity.

On the other hand, the distributions themselves are something to consider, most of them offer unique features, while LTS vs R-R-C is still up for an endless debate, it's up to debate, each has it's pros, cons and uses, as you mostly see LTS support in people who don't develop much, have the distro as just a daily-driver alternative to Windows (or Mac) and server use, while rolling-release-cycle is more popular amongst software developers and other Linux enthusiasts, it sometimes can be the deciding factor whether you go for one distro or another, but, some distributions such as OpenSUSE offer both rolling and LTS versions, so you can pick accordingly. I generally also disagree with the mindset of 'Manjaro if you like RRC but don't want your PC to be bricked', which doesn't really add up, as any rolling-release distro has issues, and Manjaro isn't an exception (Firmware bugs included) and you can screw anything up in Linux.

@Aquatic I just call XFCE outdated because the default design (if you don't customize) really does not look good in my opinion.

It is an opinion though.

Also for Manjaro, when i say "without breaking your pc" it's because people told me Manjaro is more stable than Arch linux because it tests packages a little bit more before releasing or updating them.

Manjaro testing packages more is a myth, as it doesn't make a lot of sense as a whole, a lot of Linux-introduced issues are often system specific, such as conflicts between difference pieces of software (what you'd call incompatibility), as well as generally good old Arch problems (Such as complete incompatibility between free drivers and laptop optimus setups, yet pretty much always attempting to boot with the free drivers, even in the installer), not to mention borked firmware coming from the kernels themselves, while they may adapt and test software before it's released, it doesn't help much as not reading release notes before installing new updates on software and their possible dependencies borks your PC eitherway.
