The other issue is that Manjaro as a whole has become very bloated on both desktop and mobile over the recent years.
In that case I fully agree with Luke Smith on this; the more we do to make Linux "usable" to normies, the worse Linux becomes.
i don't think manjaro is that bad, although it may heavily depend on desktop environment being used. i like lxqt.
"linux usable to normies" can be thought two ways.
if devs make linux u.i. more easier to use for commoners, you might have a point. i definitely hate forced or automatic updates.
if we want normies to avoid big tech's data collection, then i think linux (not android) should be available to normies more.
