I think most here have come here to avoid big tech companies. Reddit has become bad and beyond the pale. Facebook, and Meta companies are not good for privacy, and many wouldn't like to promote them or have their content building those platforms up. Eventually, you become the thing you hate.

Hi. No one is creating content on Threads, can we steal your content, please?

Not necessarily.

Many held off buying a PC because they couldn't get a GPU due to crypto mining slurping it up. When they came back, they price for years old hardware was scandalous. People held off, until they finally needed to update that hardware. Guessing that upgrade queue has been worked down somewhat.

To be fair, subs kept getting hijacked. I wouldn't blame them.

Believe internet strangers? I had it on my laptop and Pinephone. After breaking twice on both, I went for Kubuntu then OpenSuse for desktop and PostmarketOS on the Pinephone.

You may be cheerleading for Manjaro but don't discount experience of people that went there, suffered and want others to not suffer. If you really need easy to use Arch, EndeavourOS is far superior.

I'm on OpenSuse and it's great. If you're tempted by Arch, go straight up Arch. Manjaro doesn't give any pluses here, only negatives.

I've had it break many times during update. Don't get me wrong, I liked it at first, but if you want a system that works after update, you're probably better checking elsewhere. Linux Mint, and Kubuntu are far better simplicity wise. Open Suse or Arch if you want rolling updates.
