I’m deeply sorry. If it’s any consolation, it will eventually happen to everybody.

Or at least everybody that didn’t see the light and adopt The Penguin… But let’s leave religion to another time.

BTW, Arch is awesome.

( actually, i use Manjaro. but it’s based on arch. so that still counts, right?)

Still counts. You now have to say you use arch every hour, otherwise you’ll implode.

Wait…does this apply to all Arch based distros? If so I haven’t been talking about it nearly enough.
Show threadFirmDistributionMar 16

please don’t go any further without mentioning you use arch, it can be dangerous!!!

I noticed this while I was using arch, btw.

And if you own a Steam Deck, you’re an Arch user. I don’t make the rules.

NGL kinda want to use arch just so I can say I use it. I feel left out.

I used to use Arch like them, then I took an arrow to the knee.

I chose the distro for the meme, nothing else.

No, it doesn’t count. You only get BTW privileges after installing Arch at least once.

manjaro has had a lot of drama and problems in the past and i don’t think it’s really a good distro to use. they forgot to renew their ssl certificate multiple times, they break software due to their weird update strategy (they use custom repos which hold back updates mostly arbitrarily for a week) which breaks dependencies and sometimes breaks the entire system, and their gui package manager once overwhelmed the AUR with traffic.

a better alternative with an easy gui installer would be endeavouros or cachyos. endeavour is basically manjaro except competent and with regular arch packages. cachy has its own repos (in order to build specialized versions of packages), but it keeps in sync with the regular arch repos.

though of course if manjaro is working for you that’s great and any amount of linux use is good. manjaro is just a bit temperamental. i also understand that some people can’t just distrohop, for example because they don’t have a separate home partition, or not enough space to copy important files elsewhere before wiping their partitions.

As a end user I definitely wouldn’t recommend Manjaro right now, especially with the current organization drama right now, Manjaro’s 2.0 manifesto. After they restructure themselves, it might come out as a more interesting distro, but for now it’s best to steer clear.
Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto

To me, it seems a bit like the ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’. Many of us were part of the Manjaro project from the very start, whilst others joined us later on our shared journey. And now some feel as though they’ve bought a ticket for the Titanic and are heading straight for an iceberg… Back in 2019, we made the transition from a community project to a community-driven company and also used assets for commercial projects as a normal company would do. If an “exit to the community” or, in our case, ano...

Oh did they renew their ssl certs so their repos work now?

Lol I cannot understand how anyone can trust those idiots at this point.
