    Manjaro Linux is Arch Linux based. Manjaro and Arch relation is like Ubuntu and Debian relation.

    Manjaro has its own set of issues that you may want to stay away from.

    Edit: Ignore this comment, the image was loaded late. I thought it was a genuine question.

    for me, Debian -> Ubuntu -> Arch -> Artix -> Void -> Gentoo. I’ll reach my final form when I finally run LFS.

    Do we really need to bring that bullshit over from Reddit? Manjaro is fine, Arch is fine, distroshaming is for children.

    Meh. I’ve been using Manjaro for two years now. So far so good. System has been working perfectly.

      Congrats? But that doesn’t change the fact it’s shit.

      Manjaro is without a doubt the worst arch derivative by far. Their whole marketing pitch is: “You heard that the arch repo has the most packages, and that they’re all fresh from the pipeline? Use manjaro, and replace it with a smaller one that delays updates by two weeks for absolutely no reason! You want to use arch because of AUR? Oh, the package failed to install because your system is weeks out of date? Tough shit, we’re not supporting AUR…”

      It had a value in the time before archinstall, Endeavour, Arco, and Garuda. Each of them either only install arch with sane defaults, or provide some other benefits. Manjaro does neither, unless you count delaying security patches a benefit.

        I tried all the other arch distros and there was something critical broken off the bat with each one. Manjaro was working perfect out of the box and the only issue so far was my fault. All the complains about it seem very nitpicky.

    I use Mint, Arch (technically Asahi), Debian, Ubuntu, and I used to use Manjaro.

    They all have their places. Mint has the best UI/stable no-fuss desktop experience, for instance.

      Arch does not have a place though. It’s just a more buggy Arch with a worse maintaining team

      EDIT: Actually, tbh it’s incorrect to even call Manjaro Arch. That’s an insult to Arch

        Don’t forget that it’s repo has less packages and that they’re delayed by two weeks for absolutely no reason. Not only opening users to potential hacks, but also messing up AUR package installation.

        Manjaro is Arch’s glue eating cousin
