Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.
I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.
I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.
Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.
Have you considered using Arch on which Manjaro is based?
This way you won't have issues with AUR. It's not hard to install, you can use
archinstallhelper if you want, it's available in the default installation media.Or you could switch Manjaro to the unstable repos which mirror Arch
You can do this, and I have, but there can be issues during the switch if you are not careful.
The machine I use as my Jellyfin server used to be Manjaro and is now vanilla Arch ( having migrated it from Manjaro to Arch in place ). It still has a few quirks though. The quirks do not matter for what I use it for ( it is rock solid for Jellyfin ) but anytime I have to reboot or use the desktop, I am reminded. Nothing too serious and nothing I could not fix with a little time of course. That machine is purely functional though and I do not want to spend any time on it. Since my video is all on a second drive, I will probably nuke it and do a fresh EndeavourOS install one of these days. It would be much faster to re-install Jellyfin than to fix all the little warts. The other Manjaro systems I had were replaced with fresh EndeavourOS installs.
