Welcome to the Linux club. My friend previously used Manjaro for a number of years but stopped because when his cmos died, his computer wouldn't boot up. He's sworn to never touch arch based distros again.
Of all the reasons I've heard for not using Manjaro, this is definitely a first
is that a thing that it can bork? should be able to just clear cmos or replace the battery, no? or if the mosfet itself is dead, isn't that just a hardware fault, not an os issue?
Most likely a hardware issue. But we don't have enough info. We don't know it that user has successfully re-imaged that system or not.
If you're not joking, I'd like to clarify that your friend's computer not booting up after a CMOS battery failure, is not related to Manjaro, or any OS for that matter. But we don't have enough info to correctly assume what the actual cause of the issue is, without troubleshooting.
Yeah the guy looked it up and said if the cmos dies on Manjaro, there's no fixing it. He said it was some bug. Beats me if it's true or not but if it was an actual thing then I hope it's fixed now.
