Thank you so much i will look into this

Ok i have came down to between manjaro and fedora but im still stuck on which one to choose i apologize if im bothering hou

Simply download a live ISO of each and try it out live before you install. Everybody has their own preference and your shoe does not fit me. We cannot tell you what you will like, but we each can tell you what we like. Only by trying it out will you be able to decide which fits your preferences better.

Thank you so much you have been really helpful sorry for bad english btw

That's my point, I would not use either of those. Not because there's anything wrong with them, just personal preference. The sticky thread about how to choose a distro has a section named "Testing/Trying", it supports what computersavvy is suggesting for you. Try some distributions and make your own preferential and informed decision. Plus that way you will not be stuck.

Aall,

If you are interested in Arch and Manjaro then you should definitely try EndeavourOS:

Thank you guys for the replies i have tried endavourOS but for some reason it broke for no reason
And i will also try your suggestions as well

Where do i find the sticky thread

At the top of the Newbis section, linked below.

Thank you so much

beachboy2,

I will give it another shot if manjaro decides to break so i will definitely use it as a backup OS

All of the suggestions so far are edgy (as just behind the cutting edge) distributions. If you want something less likely to break you might want something a bit more conservative. There are many options to choose from (Distrowatch lists about 220 currently active X86-64 based, and it does not know about ALL of them).
Mint and MintDE are excellent, and very pretty, elementary seems good, Q4OS Linux is nice. Depending upon what you like and what features you are looking for there probably more options than you need. I suggest loading some of the ISO files onto a VENTOY or E2B thumb drive and testing them in live mode to determine if they fit your needs do you can make a more informed selection.

One thing I love about Linux, it is "try before you buy" in the first place, and then generally free in the second! ;-)
