BTW, Arch is awesome.

( actually, i use Manjaro. but it's based on arch. so that still counts, right?)

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 day ago

manjaro has had a lot of drama and problems in the past and i don't think it's really a good distro to use. they forgot to renew their ssl certificate multiple times, they break software due to their weird update strategy (they use custom repos which hold back updates mostly arbitrarily for a week) which breaks dependencies and sometimes breaks the entire system, and their gui package manager once overwhelmed the AUR with traffic.

a better alternative with an easy gui installer would be endeavouros or cachyos. endeavour is basically manjaro except competent and with regular arch packages. cachy has its own repos (in order to build specialized versions of packages), but it keeps in sync with the regular arch repos.

though of course if manjaro is working for you that's great and any amount of linux use is good. manjaro is just a bit temperamental. i also understand that some people can't just distrohop, for example because they don't have a separate home partition, or not enough space to copy important files elsewhere before wiping their partitions.

As a end user I definitely wouldn't recommend Manjaro right now, especially with the current organization drama right now, Manjaro's 2.0 manifesto. After they restructure themselves, it might come out as a more interesting distro, but for now it's best to steer clear.

Still counts. You now have to say you use arch every hour, otherwise you'll implode.

Well, at least I don't have to talk about it as much as I have to update the dang thing.

[-] just2look@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Wait...does this apply to all Arch based distros? If so I haven't been talking about it nearly enough.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

And if you own a Steam Deck, you're an Arch user. I don't make the rules.

[-] FirmDistribution@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

please don't go any further without mentioning you use arch, it can be dangerous!!!

I noticed this while I was using arch, btw.

NGL kinda want to use arch just so I can say I use it. I feel left out.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago

I chose the distro for the meme, nothing else.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I used to use Arch like them, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Oh did they renew their ssl certs so their repos work now?

Lol I cannot understand how anyone can trust those idiots at this point.

[-] exu@feditown.com 6 points 1 day ago

No, it doesn't count. You only get BTW privileges after installing Arch at least once.
