People forget or are blissfully unaware of the financial mismanagement, the basic incompetence with keeping their own domain. They nearly lost it several times. Not to mention shipping with the AUR while being incompatible in many ways with the Aur.
If someone wants to use Endeavor or Garuda or one of the other different easy to use Arch spin-offs. There's no issue with that. They all work like they're supposed to and have generally been competent teams. There really is very little reason to use Manjaro these days. The last time I used it was for their Raspberry Pi version. Which wasn't really going to work with the Aur anyhow. But I think endeavor is still providing a pi image now so there's still no reason to use Manjaro
That said all this is yet another tick for Wayland.
Unfortunately for a long time they were the best arm distro for my pinebook pro. Though they can't even support that anymore. I'm looking for a better option again.
I realize it's a bit of a dead horse to say this at this point, but if you like any of the arch spinoffs, I would definitely recommend giving arch a shot if you can get through the install process. It was a fun learning experience for me, and I used it as a daily driver for years with no big issues. And it's even easier these days than it used to be!
Install process is mad easy these days. Connect with ethernet if available, type archinstall and navigate through a few choices and its over.
The last time I tried
archinstallit 404'd on some Gnome component and the script just died. Probably user error on my part for even trying to try Gnome.I did install Cachy recently and it's been very smooth.
I'm sure they've resolved it by now though. Just thought the error handling could have been improved
That's amazing. I haven't done an install since archinstall was a thing. I enjoyed learning the entire process myself, but I know that's not for everyone, and it's nice to know they've employed a simplified version. Very cool!
Unfortunately though. There aren't very many easy arm distros that are Arch based. I have done the traditional Arch install on x86 systems though. Gentoo as well. They are definitely good learning experiences. But honestly even as a techie person. For my money. I'm not going to waste time doing that every time I end up reinstalling or installing.
