I dunno what the plural of “Manjaro” is.

      Why?

      It has been my main distro for years now,
      and I have only enjoyed the experience.

      2 points you’ll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:

      • The certificate of their website expired twice
      • If you use AUR packages,
        sometimes you need to wait with an update since they hold back official repo packages for a few weeks to ensure stability, which AUR packages might depend on.

      Stop the distro hate,
      it divides the Linux community…
      Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
      and let people use whatever distro they like.

          For me the experience has been:

          • Stable
          • Easy to use
          • Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

          Which imo makes it a good distro,
          idiots would not make a good distro…

          Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

          Additionally, it’s all open source,
          so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
          it can be forked into another distro.

          As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
          I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…

          By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

          Linux is not the enemy here,
          not a single flavor…
