I'm not the first one to say this, but your distro doesn't matter, it's still linux! I'm currently running Debian 11 Testing, but I could be completely happy running Linux Mint on a tiling window manager. In fact, I have, for over a year. I was on Mint using default settings for a bit, but slowly transitioned into a "power user", facing the terminal and leaving Cinnamon desktop. Soon I had my own setup with Xmonad and uninstalled all the unecessary bloat. My laptop would probably still be running Mint right now, accept I formatted my hard drive instead of my flash drive with the dd command (oops). There's no reason to go from Ubuntu to Manjaro to Arch, or whatever you might be planning on doing. Pretty much the only distro I could see someone logically switching to is something Arch based, because of it's rolling release nature and the AUR. Just install your own enviroment once you got the hang of linux.
