From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

just stop using manjaro and move on, seriously
I've been using Manjaro for years without issue.
It is the best distro for my needs.
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)
I'm glad I've learned to ignore people like you.
Tell me why I'm wrong.
