Admittedly, as much as I've obsessed over Manjaro, there are things I do miss about Xubuntu, like the greater amount of information out there pertaining to Ubuntu-based distros.
I've found that to largely be negated by much of that information becoming outdated as Canonical made more and more unfortunate choices (which often predicated the need for more info as the changes caused the distro to become more and more proprietary).
My opinion (only!):
If you want the absolute most information for problem solving & doing unusual things, go with straight Debian (upon which Ubuntu is built).
If you want the greatest convenience and ease of setup go with Manjaro (which is based on Arch although it is not Aarch, as they say).
If you want something in-between ...go with Ubuntu? Mint Debian? Mint Ubuntu?
