From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It doesn't always go well, especially with beginners, I've tried Plasma on Ubuntu and decided to go back to gnome, spent whole lot of time trying to purge all the Plasma bloat but couldn't
If you use the nala apt frontend, it comes with a history command like Fedora. Really useful for undoing specific changes.
sudo apt install gnome
Seriously, I don't get distro hoppers. "I want my desktop wallpaper to be green. Can you tell me how to install an entirely new operating system with a green background?"
I agree with you, but next time... let people enjoy things
Manjaro gnome? Or skip the middle man and go to Debian
What middle-man are you skipping? Manjaro is based on Arch.
Perhaps you meant Ubuntu as Ubuntu is based on Debian and Mint is based on Ubuntu. I agree that I would prefer plain Debian these days over Ubuntu but Debian does not have everything out of the box a Mint or Ubuntu user may like.
Regardless, do not use Manjaro. If you cannot install Arch but like it, use EndeavourOS.
If they like Mint, they should just install GNOME on it.

@manapropos @LeFantome love it when d-bags make these kinds of comments. Now I get to keep my mute list happy by feeding it another name. You know, Linux users get a bad rap because of snark like this.
