For example : I write in French. It wasn’t easy for me to have a way to type É or Ç. Tmux wasn’t easy to configure. It took time to understand how to use USB drives. And now I didn’t use it for some time, and I’d have everything to learn again if I had to turn it on.

I’m no computer scientist. All these things may be trivial for someone who works with computers, but it’s not my case 😅.

I’ve done that on my potato, I installed Debian without a DE. It’s great, but I needed an insane amout of time to make it actually usable.

They made errors with certificates twice. Apparently, that a cardinal sin for some Linux users.

But if you like Manjaro, use it. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great distro.

There’s a video showing the difference.

Once, I listened what some people said on the Internet, and I tried Arch. I came back to Manjaro, but I learned a lot so I’m not unhappy with the experience.

However, to say that there’s no reason to use it over Arch (I don’t know about Endeavour, I never actually used it) is just wrong. Maybe you don’t like the differences, but they are important and useful for someone like me. When I installed Arch, I needed to tinker it for hours before having something usable. I don’t want to tinker, I want my OS to work, even if it means other people made choices for me, as long as I can revert them; that’s what Manjaro offers. For example, I love GNOME, but only with some plugins, like dash to dock. When I installed Arch, GNOME made an update which broke a lot of plugins, included dash to dock; while Manjaro waited for dash to dock to work to push the new GNOME. Some issues may be pushed, but a lot of others aren’t. I prefer to have one big update twice a month instead of having to update and tinker again my OS possibly every day.

Manjaro is far from perfect, no distro is, but for people like me, it works very well, and better than Arch.

I don’t get the hate for Manjaro, TBH. I never had any problem with it, and I used it as my main OS for a few years now.

Android is exactly why I think it’s important not to ditch GNU in GNU/Linux. I don’t care about codelines, I care about the philosophy.

Other people will probably give you better answers, but I think the solution is quite easy: chroot and relauch the update.

No that’s a crone.

To cron is to sing romantic style of pop music.

As a beginner I installed Arch manually to learn things and was kind of disappointed. The only hard thing was to understand the partition system, so it’s more or less the only thing I learnt. Sure there were pieces of other things learnable, but it was small things.

Now I want to try to install Gentoo.

Once you’re done you’ll be the most impressive person in the room, if that room is full of us linux nerds

New life goal unlocked.

You can make and propose a mailing list without a pop up…

At least not without warning. I begun with Manjaro and am very happy with it, so much it’s still my main OS maybe 5 years later, but I’m happy I was warned and read a few things beforehand.

XMPP is still alive, and is just what it was before Google used it. I don’t understand this argument.
