It’s had a reputation of being clunky and bloated. It’s better these days than it was 6-7 years ago. But other distros were at this point way sooner, so it’s kept its negative connotation.
If you care about “bloat”, do a minimal Debian installation and have fun. Batteries not included, some assembly required.
If you have 2GB of RAM or less, Debian Xfce would be a good choice. Otherwise, resource requirements simply aren’t an issue with Linux on a modern laptop or desktop.

So if I’m an amateur what distro should I use for the cleanest experience?
I don’t know what “clean” means to you but Linux Mint is the best “just works and doesn’t bother you” beginner distro in my opinion.
I mean unbloated, light on resources. But thanks, I have been recomended Mint too. Thank you !!!

You are right, I’ve tried Ubuntu, Manjaro and Debian and what I value most is simplicity and stability oh and very important ia the desktop too.
