    I started with Manjaro. Unfucking that system has taught me more than any “stable” distro could. It’s all a matter of determination.

    Welcome to the party.

      It’s funny that they claim to be more stable than vanilla Arch because of their own repositories. My Manjaro installation broke itself very frequently after half a year of use. My Endeavour now is much more stable and reliable.

        The only time i tried manjaro it was broken from the start in the sense that it defaulted to Wayland and didn’t set the appropriate nvidia flags. Back then I knew nothing and didn’t know how to do much of Anything so ended up back to mint lol

          The main issue I had was the incompatibility to the AUR. Manjaro holds back updates from the main Arch repo, to do some more tests etc. But that doesn’t apply to the AUR. But the AUR packages depend on the latest versions from the main Arch repo to be installed. With Manjaro always being 2 weeks or so behind, it’s just a matter of time and your system breaks at some point when you use AUR packages.
