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.

I have not made any case for Manjaro. I simply said it works well enough for me.
I also said that I know the story and have used many different OSes and Linux distros, so I know full well their underlying philosophies.
You seem to want to get me to defend Manjaro to have someone to argue with. Sorry, I don't have enough investment in Manjaro to argue with you. I'm just too lazy to distro hop.
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.
