I will pick two of the most famous distros we have and I tried both which are Manjaro and Ubuntu Desktop.
Most users of these two distros want to use them in their everyday tasks as their personal PC.
They both are considered easy to setup and work and that's how both started. Target groups are mainly for both beginners level of using linux and even more experienced users but there's a small difference Ubuntu targets someone who doesn't know anything about linux more than Manjaro and Manjaro targets someone who doesn't know anything about ArchLinux and want to get familiar with it because Manjaro is based on it.
Manjaro uses a Rolling Release Development Model, whereby rather than being replaced, the same core system will instead be continually updated and upgraded. As such it is not, nor will it ever be, necessary to re-install a later release of Manjaro in order to enjoy the very latest and most up-to-date system possible. By virtue of keeping an existing installation updated, it is already running the latest release.[1] On average, the Ubuntu distro avails an interim release once every six months. The interim releases in Ubuntu feature the latest features and updates. Each of the releases is supported for just nine months.
In addition to the interim releases, you should expect a long term support (LTS) release of the software once every two years. The LTS release updates of the Ubuntu software are supported for up to five years following their release[2] In my opinion Manjaro has a better and more easy to install release cycle with having more features as soon as they get tested and you don't need to do a lot of work to install a new version of Manjaro.
