For the love of all that’s saint, can we please stop recommending Manjaro to people, especially newbies?
It’s not really a preference thing, Manjaro team did plenty of questionable stuff with it, as in DDoSing AUR, mind you, twice, or letting their server certificates expire, also more than once.
It also routinely shows more stability issues that led to the infamous “I swear to god, if it’s Manjaro again…” in AUR discussions. Apart from AUR problems, they also shipped alpha quality things to their users, like this and this.
I’ve used Manjaro myself for around a month. If you are treating it as a regular Arch installation, you will break it.
If you want something up to date, but more stable than Arch, just use Fedora. If you insist on it being Arch-based, use something like CachyOS. Or you can read the wiki and install Arch itself. Arch is a DIY distro, after all.
I lasted 3 months before it broke itself beyond my ability to repair (my entire DE got uninstalled during an update), switched to EndeavourOS, and have had zero issues that weren’t me doing something dumb.
I don’t get it. An OS is to help you do stuff and not get in your way. Why do people argue over which is the best one to use and why is it Debian? No one cares what you use, just shut up and be productive.
OST gang ❤️
Apologies for my ignorance, but what’s OST?
