I wouldn't know since the installer is still shit and broken

I broke python

used manjaro for the longest, now using ubuntu xfce because i dont wanna use winblows but i need the most normie tier linux distro so i don't have to fuck with a bunch of shit/shit doesnt break/can use basically any software i need well/large community for help

Ill stay away from arch, thank you

I'm not 1337 enough for Arch, so I've used Debian for the last 10 years.

I went Arch -> Antergos -> Manjaro, what's the next logical step?

Manjaro, on my personal use it just works and never have had a problem with it, same with my sister, she doesn't know anything about Linux and is entirely happy with it.

mint XFCE just werks

Gentoo GNU

What is the reason for choosing Manjaro?

Has a nice installer for the low-IQs and the lazy people. Also it's requires little to no effort to run and maintain. Plus you get to part of a group(of retards) and upvote/like others screenfetches.

I personally use it because it has a deepin variant which looks nice and works nicely with it unlike with literally and other distro.

>t.

easier to install and has all the benefits of Arch

its literally arch without autism

gonna post here since /flgt/ is not existing at this point.

beginner Manjaro(and linux in general) user here.
I installed Aseprite from octopi(AUR repositories) but I cant find it by searching from the "start" button, and I don't know how to run it from the terminal apparently(can't find it on duckduckgo as well).
[package name] or [.package name] doesn't work.

help?

this, it doesn't even support btrfs lol

just press tab while typing it on the terminal for predictions
you shouldn't install from the AUR without being able to read PKGBUILDs

I was skipping PKGbuilds since it seemed like a useless summary.
no predictions - I guess it wasn't installed properly.
Octopi however doesn't install it but says it already is installed.

i installed it yesterday, pacman-manager fucks up because of eula shit. i used makepkg to build and pacman -U aseprite...pkg.tar.xz

it's in the graphics menu and i see open with aseprite for image files.

the only problem for me is that you can't move aseprite's inner windows it fucked up, i don't know how to describe you should see yourself.

anyone?

like said, read the PKGBUILD and see the AUR page and dependencies to make sure theres not anything fishy going on

there is a reason why the Arch devs/maintainers strongly discourage the use of Manjaro...

You have to enable aur manually. Also never had to learn how pacman works, installing applications with the gui software installer is simple and never failed me. No updates broke my system ever, using manjaro. For normie use there is no software needed to be downloaded anyways, everything is included. If not, manjaro repos have it for you to two click install it.

I mainly use snaps and flatpaks from trusted vendors anyway

Should just use Windows if you want a Windows like experience.

you have clearly not understood a single word of the post you're replying to

Too slow and filled with bullshit.

I want a clean and simple experience, which looks and works nicely.
Deepin is great because it has all the setting in 1 panel and literally just works.
I don't, never used arch and never will, I was using ubuntu before. I don't care about how things work as long as long as they work nicely. I don't use my pc to fuck around with installing my OS or apps or learning how to do it.

Thanks for confirming that Manjaro users are actual retards who refuse to even understand why their distro is bad. In case you want to change your mind, here, read this:

I use Fedora. Started out with the default ISO featuring GuhNOME, but then installed KDE and sloppily removed GNOME, then I moved to Openbox and now I basically run Openbox on Fedora I guess

>Thanks for
stopped reading there

I am using it. It's decent enough. As much as I love Arch, the install process is way more painful than necessary. So Manjaro just fills the void.

Incredibly stable and fast, and one ends up learning a lot about *nix, mostly because it's a necessity. There's always something new to discover and the community is excellent - intelligent, insightful and no-bullshit. It's also the distro that I've been able to do everything on that I want to. Nothing annoys me about it, whereas in other distros there was always some irritant that played on my mind.

Attached: Screenshot_2018-10-16_19-59-20.png (1040x528, 101K)

Because I'm too accustomed to typing sudo apt install

you could just alias it to pacman -Sy

Because I'm satisfied with Mint. I stole the default theme from Manjaro though, it's very nice.

Well, you can't ask for anything more than that.

Post a picture of your rig/guts. I bet it looks cool.

I dunno why, but people posting just their fetches without their shitty desktops is quite cosy and a lot less arrogant. It feels like a marginally cohesive community.

Manjarofag here too. It's so comfy.

also seems i am too much of fag to crop the error out

I like it. I am a fan of arch and still have it installed on one of my laptops, but I couldn't be bothered to go through the installation again for my desktop. Toyed around with manjaro in a VM before, so I gave it a try.

Agree, i am slacking too. For an experienced user it's a great distro. All the default settings and applications of the distro are really logical. No weird/unlogical things configured by the devs. Just straight to the point and combined with alienBOB's repo and slackbuilds, It's just perfect. Debian is my second choice if i don't want to put too much time in it, but till now i like it

Debian used to be my primary, I still love it, but then I bit the bullet and went full Slack on all systems. The thing is, when your main system is set up properly, there is very little configuration and maintenance you have to do.

I hesitated to move off Debian for a few reasons, I was very comfy with it, but I knew that I wasn't really going to learn as much as wanted if I stayed on it. I had kind of plateaued. But when you have your Slack system set up exactly how you want, there is pretty much nothing to do, apart from upgrade packages and the kernel at your leisure. Slackpkg makes package upgrading fucking easy, including slackpkg+ if you're on multilib. Alien Bob is an amazing guy.

Honestly the most painful syntax out of all package managers I've ever used

If I had to choose a distro that I could count on the most, and if I just need to install a distro fast to just werk I would install Manjaro

But since I dont like bloat, I installed archlabs (not their latest one, its shit but the one before that is good) and after that just arch

>not using gentoo already

Using good ol' debian here, why would I change?

becuase if killed itslef balck screen after i tried to load in nvidia drivers

multiple times it did this....depiste insane amounts of ass fuckery in the cmd shell to try and fix

AlienBOB is amazing, but a big part of the slackware community is awesome. Like Ponce keeping track of -current SlackBuilds and Pat is also very active on LQ

It's lovely to have a nice base for i3-gaps to build upon without much initial set-up

If you don't like bloat, use Manjaro Architect. I installed a minimum KDE with 500 packages after install. I'm up to 900 now, but I'm running a ton of shit.

Whenever I install Nvidia drivers it hangs at "Started TLP system startup/shutdown"

Somebody help or I'm going back to Ubuntu...and then back to Windows.

Manjaro wouldn't boot on my Toshiba laptop, but Ubuntu does. Apparently it's something to do with grub, but I couldn't be arsed fucking around with it. I just needed something to work.

similar to me

i eventually ahd 3 laopts infront of me osx, mint and windows...

at that point i though fuck tribooting something always goes wrong, now i just ru3 3 laptos with 1 keyboard

I've done this on Arch. Detached luks header as well.

I liked the architect installer, how it comes with enough stuff while not feeling that bloated, and the package manager, which I've read is kinda like Arch but different somehow?

I had to stop using it because I still can't stand any Linux DE for an extended period of time.

I'm thinking this might be my next distro, but Gentoo is calling my name and I've never tried it before

>1.6T of Porn
whew lad

Attached: stop.png (245x205, 65K)

because of the obvious and painful performance and compatibility issues compared to fedora and debian based OS's

looks nice

>any Linux DE
I'm more interested in why. What are you looking for that the standard DE's don't deliver on?

how do you disable the default theme?

We COULD like Debian or Fedora, etc. Disliking a vanilla distro is redundant, because it does everything your less user friendly distro does (more or less).

Ubuntu dumbs down the learning process for Linux, to about the equivalent of OS X. A user who is new to Linux and has 18.04 with GNOME may not ever use a sudo command or even open a terminal, much less understand the capabilities of the open source and free packages available to them, and the tools a their disposal (SSH for example).

Assuming the hardware is relatively new (well new enough to not encounter any graphical, wireless, or sound driver issues), the Ubuntu 18.04 new user will never encounter a problem, install packages and updates through the GUI application, or through 1 click installs downloaded on Firefox or Chrome.

For these reasons, a lot of veteran or even new, yet determined GNU/Linux, BSD, and HURD users automatically dislike Ubuntu, and its userbase, because of the shortcuts they take to use their Operating System. Linux draws a large community of technically inclined, or at least interested people who seek to improve said skills, and understand more about computers, and they can see Ubuntu as counteracting this, or if you will, dumbing down their community they've worked so hard to create.

I think in the end one must accept there will always be ignorant, unwilling end-users who are not interested in the how or why, but simply want to use LibreOffice and Firefox and Skype and Facebook. We can be thankful a distro such as Ubuntu exists for these users, so the Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, OpenSUSE, BSD, etc communities can thrive without such distractions.

As expected of Manjaro users.

Ah thank you, this makes perfect sense. Is Ubuntu limited in its capabilities compared to other distros?

No

>Is Ubuntu limited in its capabilities compared to other distros?
No, but that's not the point. Ubuntu is letting people into the sekret club who don't belong; it's letting in people that want to change how the club operates.

Just look at the Ctrl Alt Backspace hotkey being removed upstream thanks to Ubuntu crybabies as an example

>Ubuntu is letting people into the sekret club who don't belong

This can be said for most of the popular/fotm distros though.

Makes sense. I find this very amusing. On one hand, people who use Linux encourage others to stop using Windows and shift over. On the other hand, those same people don't like an "easy for windows users" distro. Doesn't really make any sense.

Terry was a dude who made his own compiler and OS and he used Ubuntu.

Two completely separate groups of people.
Here I made a diagram for you

It helps to not view Linux users as one big homogenized group. There are plenty in the community who don't spend all day gatekeeping it.

I think Ubuntu and its derivatives as well as Manjaro etc. are great for getting people to at least try Linux (including the technically inclined people).

>people who move from Arch to antergos, or vice versa
What's the point? After it's installed, unless your system breaks, the end result is exactly the same. Also, manjaro sucks

bring back manjaro openrc

lol this. It's all the same shit. distros mostly differ in (getting) packaging; developing C++ or python stuff isn't gonna differ much.
In fact that's why I use Ubuntu, if something goes wrong there's inevitably a fast fix so I can get stuff done back without any distractions.
