Manjaro Linux is a fast, user-friendly, desktop-oriented operating system based on Arch Linux.
SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Easy to use after working with Ubuntu
Manjaro is very simple to get used to once it's installed.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con You can't change the default theme in certain applications
Although it is possible to change the default dark theme, this has no effect on Firefox, which appears to have the dark theme "hard coded". Hardened Linux pros may find a way to change this, but for the rest, it renders an otherwise nice distro a no-go.
Con Calls itself "stable," but actually just holds Arch Linux repositories back for a week
Know any negative aspects of this option?

Manjaro is great, but most Budgie plugins are not available in the officel repos and most of snap budgie plugins work only on Ubuntu. In the end we only have a minimal version of budgie available on Arch unless you take the time to integrate everything by hand.

Very limited Budgie plugin avalaible in reposManjaro Linux

I haven't tried the others, but based on what I have read, Manjaro was the only Arch distro I wanted to even attempt. No regrets. Low system resources, good repository and you always have AUR if you want, too. Seems really fast, and highly configurable if you want to get your hands dirty.
