Manjaro 2.0 Synopsis This document covers the organizational, technical, management, and other changes we (the Manjaro Team, et al) like to see applied to the Manjaro Project. The goal of this document is to serve as a point of discussion, and ultimately, once a consensus on its contents and written goals has been reached, as a guide for the organizational restructuring of the Manjaro Project. Motivation The Manjaro Project has been declining over the past decade. It managed to sustain a sizabl...

    literally impossible, even if it was run by competent people (it isn’t) its design fundamentally caters to no-one

    want easy arch? Cachyos, endeavoros

    are those too hard? Fedora, aurora, bazzite

    The current design of slowing down arch breaks more things than it solves and just results in a significantly harder to fix setup.

    the only people who like manjaro haven’t tried anything else and haven’t really thought about their distros philosophies at all, or just got really unlucky with other distros. There’s literally no reason to use this distro that isn’t just that you’re already used to it. That’s not even factoring in that the distro is a net negative for the community (see: ddosing the aur)

      Look, I’ve used more different OSes than I can remember. I used everything from CP/M to Solaris. I’ve used Microsoft Xenix, HP-UX, OS/2, Haiku, BSDs, you name it. I’ve used Slackware, Knoppix, Tom’s RootBoot, Puppy Linux, Debian, RedHat Linux (not RHEL, the original), Corel Linux, Mandrake, Caldera.

      I love weird OSes and their history. I think I have enough knowledge to jump ship when a distro is giving me a hard time. I use Debian on all servers, Xubuntu or Kubuntu (de-SNAPed, of course) on desktops. But my personal laptop is running Manjaro for years now because it works, stays fresh, and gets out of my way.

        That’s normal most distros do that, what does manjaro do better than others? You have not made any sort of case for why manjaro is better.

        you fall under “haven’t thought about distros philosophies”

        you did not actually compare anything, what you discovered is that manjaro works… but so does everything else so that’s not a valid comparison, usless you can point to distros that don’t work and why
