I would absolutely not vote brain. That thing is the cause of 99% of my suffering.

Look at this moron. DY-MY-DM is the only logical date format.
Manjaro isn't great, but for a new Linux user, who doesn't tinker, it's quite reliable. Manjaro avoided the Grub crash earlier this year which every other Arch-based distro failed to boot from.
My recommendation is Endeavour, but having the Pamac Manjaro GUI makes things a lot less daunting for those trying Linux for the first time.
Linux: OK
User: Oh great, I downloaded a virus
Linux: Lol. You should have read the 2000-line python script on github before running it.
Manjaro is a good distro for a first Linux/Arch-based distro, but Endeavour is much nicer IMO.
SteamOS is Arch-based. Arch as a distros is extremely bare-bones. The main difference between all base-distros is how they manage their packages.
Sub-distros may opt to change how the package manager works; Manjaro delays updates until everything has been verified to be working and not likely to break anything. Yet, it is still Arch based.
There's nothing about a base-distro that makes it inherently unstable. Arch is extremely reliable, depending on what you need it for.
Damn. That's a pretty big feature. I was just considering moving to BTRFS too.
Really? After 8 years of witnessing Trump being a politician you think that Hilary would have been no better? I doubt she would have ended up facing the DoJ.
I too wanted Bernie.
I got some extra advice OP. Power cables create electromagnetic resistance called flux. This interferes with poorly insulated data cables.
Also, don't coil power cables. When a power cable is coiled the strength and range of flux multiplies. If you run a data cable through the center of a coil any previously effective insulation will be rendered moot.
TL;DR Power cables and data cables aren't friends, keep them away from each other.
Can be helpful, can also be harmful. Power cables can create interference with data cables (Ethernet, HDMI), don't run them close to each other.
You can make any topic interesting with the correct approach.
For example, a few years ago I was talking about how much it had been raining, and how we could expect a lot more because of the southern oscillation just started. My friend didn't know about La Nina or El Nino so I explained it briefly, and why it's also partially responsible for things like bushfires. We probably talked about it for half an hour or more.
Sometimes I talk about my hobbies with my family, which aren't always particular topics of interest for them, but you sometimes need something to keep things going. It's a tricky dance between being nuanced and being relevant, but the point is to give them something to segue into if they've got nothing at the time.
For example, I might be talking with my Dad about a game I've been playing which he hasn't heard of. I tell him it's an RPG, which he doesn't like, but then I mention its SciFi, similar to Mass Effect. That's when he mentions he saw the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Cool, we just switched tracks.
So I guess my answer is: a good hint a conversation will be boring is when there is an expectation it will be. Both people are responsible for making it work.
