  • I don’t find the problem compelling enough to warrant a solution.

    why should I care about this misunderstanding that can easily be remedied with even the most basic cursory research?

    there are countless things we do this with, rivers don’t run, they flow

    even with computers we have called processing “thinking” for ages and nobody ever cared

    cities are actually not even capable of sleep either.

    I think this is a problem that doesn’t matter at all even a little. Can you tell me why we should even try?








  • If you don’t like the immutability then use nobara.

    Tbh I don’t think the issues with immutability are CURRENTLY there.

    you said this:

    “Entirely community-driven (so suffer much less from corporate influence, and are better from the Linux “freedom” standpoint compared to Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc.)”

    give me one example of a time this mattered

    “Widely adopted (have extensive communities supporting the repos, a large knowledge base and active forums)”

    fedora obviously has this.

    “Not heavily opinionated (allow proprietary programs, work with systemd, etc.)” And this.

    i conclude that you have still not made any case that there is even one reason to use manjaro that isn’t the cost of switching.


  • that’s not an argument to what I said in fact it’s basically exactly what I said, manjaro users only use manjaro because it’s what they’re already using, not because it’s better designed for any particular usecase.

    “There’s literally no reason to use this distro that isn’t just that you’re already used to it.” Was exactly what I said.


  • you’re right, I oversimplified, bazzite is great because it’s unhindered by patents and preinstalls the drivers, I’d recommend a community fedora fork, the key being that it’s much easier to turn fedora into this than arch.

    manjaro is this but with way more footguns, I say this having maintained a bunch of manjaro systems for people, switching them to bazzite fixed nearly all of my maintenance burden, because it’s easy to remove them from fedora but impossible with arch, intentionally, and by design.

    If you want something easy that just works arch is very deliberately designed to not be that, on purpose, even.



  • My recommendation for someone that needs an appstore with a gui is fedora, manjaro is terrible for this, because they have an appstore that regularly breaks and requires cli intervention anyway, if having a gui for package management is important to you manjaro is a terrible choice, as is arch in general.

    read some of the comments here, this is not uncommon, and it’s a fundamental issue with the design of arch package management that has been completely resolved elsewhere.

    No, I do not agree at all that that is a valid usecase for manjaro. Anybody who needs a distro that works out of the box and is convenient shouldn’t even be considering anything arch based.
