The only bad thing about Mint is it is not rolling, no need for bleeding edge, but updates to the latest tested & bug free software wouldn't hurt.If I need a Linux install for anything then I download Mint. I suspect most folks will act similarly unless they’re have a specialist function in mind such as security pentesting or privacy. The many smaller distros are fun and often provide alternative GUIs or ways of working however no one is forcing anyone to download them! Someone moving from Windows to Linux will do a quick Google and end up on Mint or Ubuntu or perhaps PopOS, and that’s no bad thing.
I am thinking of Manjaro, just the bleeding edge packages are a bit scary. Not wanting to get a buggy package..
Good, I am on Solus now & that was the thing I was worried about.Manjaro dont do bleeding edge, They are generally a little later than plain arch. Roughly a fortnight or so. If there is a problem with say plasma they skip it until the next revision/build.
I've swapped to Manjaro after mainly being a Ubuntu and derivatives user; generally I'm finding it very, very stable. I guess you might be unlucky if you install loads of packages from the AUR, but I've yet to have anything buggy.I am thinking of Manjaro, just the bleeding edge packages are a bit scary.

I've not used many to be honest. I found https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts a necessity though, couldn't find an alternative outside of AUR.I plan to stay away from compile your self packages.
Which are the top 5?You'll probably find 90-95% of users will use the top 5 distros, and then the rest will have tiny user bases.
I will guess it's something like;Which are the top 5?
