literally impossible, even if it was run by competent people (it isn't) its design fundamentally caters to no-one want easy arch? Cachyos, endeavoros are those too hard? Fedora, aurora, bazzite The current design of slowing down arch breaks more things than it solves and just results in a significantly harder to fix setup. the only people who like manjaro haven't tried anything else and haven't really thought about their distros philosophies at all, or just got really unlucky with other distros. There's literally no reason to use this distro that isn't just that you're already used to it. That's not even factoring in that the distro is a net negative for the community (see: ddosing the aur)

> the only people who like manjaro haven't tried anything else and haven't really thought about their distros philosophies at all, or just got really unlucky with other distros. Look, I've used more different OSes than I can remember. I used everything from CP/M to Solaris. I've used Microsoft Xenix, HP-UX, OS/2, Haiku, BSDs, you name it. I've used Slackware, Knoppix, Tom's RootBoot, Puppy Linux, Debian, RedHat Linux (not RHEL, the original), Corel Linux, Mandrake, Caldera. I love weird OSes and their history. I think I have enough knowledge to jump ship when a distro is giving me a hard time. I use Debian on all servers, Xubuntu or Kubuntu (de-SNAPed, of course) on desktops. But my personal laptop is running Manjaro for years now because it works, stays fresh, and gets out of my way.

I'm glad I've learned to ignore people like you.
