This same thing happened to me a few years ago so I deleted windows and never looked back
I'm using Connect for Lemmy which has the option to block instances as well as communities. After seeing several posts I wasn't interested in seeing from hexbear I decided to block the instance. I'm simply not interested in seeing pro-communist content, which is what all the posts I was seeing were related to. Or at least the ones I noticed from hexbear.
I've had more success with Manjaro than any other distro. I've gotten lots of software working because of the great package manager, all using a GUI. I think it's really easy to use and at the same time really flexible and powerful. I've tried to install Arch twice and failed both times. I guess I'm an idiot. Manjaro is easy to install and you get all the power a flexibility of Arch's package management.
