For me, it depends on the situation.

I tried and used various distros in the past. Because of that I'm planning to put Manjaro on my Desktop when Win7 goes EOL next year.

However, in case of my business laptop, I rather rely on a distro whoes release model is more conservative than Manjaro's stable-aimed rolling release model. After all, at work I want to keep focused at my tasks instead of fixing my OS to do my tasks. Hence Kubuntu 18.04 LTS runs on it.

Unfortunately Manjaro and dozens of other distros dropped support for 32-bit x86. Sucks for me because my personal laptop (which is somehow capped to run 32-bit OS only) still works well. I admit it isn't the powerful beast it once was. But It's good enough for browsing, media playback and office tasks. I've to put my trust on Kubuntu 18.04 LTS for that device as well. Saving it from the electrowaste shredder till April 2023.
