Don't here much about Manjaro on Jow Forums. Any particular reason for that? I've been told its like what Ubuntu is for Debian, Manjaro is for Arch. Is that accurate? What does Jow Forums think?
Manjaro?

It was the distro du-jour about 6 months ago.
Arch-fags hate Manjaro because of ''''''bloat''''''.
Debian-fags hate Manjaro because muh stability.

You don't?

i dont personally ever recommend manjaro, arch is eliteist for a reason, and shouldnt be used as a base for a distro imo

Almost, but Debian is not Arch. With Debian you can get a working system with a DE by just clicking your mouse button. So Manjaro makes a little more sense than Ubuntu.

So this is the power of Manjaro®

Yeah I just had this problem which prompted me to ask this... Not sure what distro to actually use. Trying to move past ubuntu but it seems to be most comfy...
Sebastian Anderson
So you would recommend just switching to Arch? Isn't everyone memeing on Arch?
See
Landon Robinson
kek using it now...
Time for a new distro, any recommendations?
Andrew Brooks
It's the kind of intermediate level distro, you use as a stepping stone between entry-level distros like Mint/Ubuntu and "l33t" distros like "real" Arch, only to give up and come back to Debian long term support or something based on it.
The whole rolling release thing makes it a bit unreliable for my taste to use a daily driver. Since there's a possibilty of an update fucking up your shit.
Jonathan Parker
this is a bit outdated considering yaourt isn't a thing anymore (we use yay now) but I just don't feel like any of this is true. Forums, youtube, and the arch wiki helped me as a beginner. I have been using it for 2.5 years now.

Endeavour OS, which is the spiritual successor of Antergos, or just stop being lazy and install Arch. dont forget to setup a dotfiles repo.
Levi Taylor
I use manjaro because I wanted something that was up to date but also easy to use. Arch is good but I dont really have the time to be doing the install from a cli. Also you dont have to update every week, who wrote this bs? Ive been using manjaro for about a year and a half now. No major problems
Gabriel Nelson
Fedora if you want leading-edge software. Debian if you want super stable (stable meaning things don’t change, not no bugs).
Tyler Diaz
Ubuntu is a happy medium between bleeding edge and stable. The more I distrohop the more I find myself coming back to Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based distros.
Thomas Cox
Nothing on ubuntu is bleeding egde. Even the devs recommended other distros in the past when that was priority.
Luke James
this
even ubuntu doesn't update vlc anymore and want you to use shitty vlc snap for that

>Manjaro is for Arch
not rly
Kayden Ross
>rolling release distro
>You need to make sure your system is always up to date
this is false. you can update once a week or once a year, arch will still work, but manj is not arch so it need additional input
Michael Reed
>it need
it might need
Andrew Martin
xubuntu lts
Eli Moore

Benjamin Peterson
idk they usually ask in the irc, something like manually update keyring or something manj specific
