1) NVIDIA is supported out of the box and works perfectly.

4) Unlike Ubuntu-based distributions like Pop!_OS, opening up an
application doesn't momentarily freeze the computer.

But I'm downloading the Cinnamon version of Manjaro now. I'll see what I

I did try Manjaro in the past — now I remember why my trial was short. No
joe editor available. That's usually the first thing I install in Linux
Mint. Not available anywhere under Manjaro even in the "AUR" (whatever that
is). So another very short trial run.

No joe, no go.
