It's so similarly pronounced to the SI prefix that it can also be 1000 Manjaros (files.catbox.moe)

I dunno what the plural of "Manjaro" is.

I still see no point of using Manjaro when it's still basically crippled Arch. Why not use Arch itslef? If installation is too much, there's archinstal or EndeavourOS. It's just puzzling to me.

To clear it up, I don't use either of them. But if I had to pick, I'd go with Endeavour much rather than Manjaro.

Manjaro offers a stable branch, pamac, upgrade snapshots, package manager, kernel manager, driver manager, and is optimized for LTS kernels. It takes a lot of the edge off Arch.

If that's not something you need that's fine. Some of us do.

Packages delayed by a week or so is not "stable", in either sense of the word

In fact, that can break things. Especially with AUR use

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

They avoid releasing packages with outstanding bugs. So at least there's that.

As for AUR... it's really not a standard for stability in any shape or form. Heck, if AUR packages really didn't work on Manjaro that would definitely improve its stability. 😄

But that's really not proven (that they don't work). All the ones I tried worked fine. YMMV. A third of AUR packages are abandoned or have never been updated after being added. There is no quality bar beyond "some random person decided to add a package". I really don't think we should use the AUR as proof of anything.

[-] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I'm looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

I used to think like you but have been using endeavouros for the last 2 years or so and never felt like I an lacking stability.

EOS is amazing. It's been my daily for about a year now.

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

i also love endeavour, after a year of sometimes random distros but mostly arch (installed incorrectly cause i cant find a tutorial with everything), endeavour allows us to get arch without worrying at all about 'some hidden config you forgot to change and now your clock is broken for the 5th time and you have to reinstall everything cause syncing it again just seems to not work'

also lmao who downvoted you

[-] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

That's why I went wirh openSUSE myself. It's almost bleeding edge with amazing snapper preconfigured when you get into problems.
