Pretty much the title. Where’s the hate towards Manjaro coming from? I was pretty much a Ubuntu/Fedora user for years but never got too technical. Used almost always gnome, but recently got interested in tiling wm and have done some searches and stumbled upon the Manjaro Sway edition and everything works quite well, but I keep seeing people bashing on Manjaro and I don’t know exactly why. So if I were to use sway in Arch or Arco (way friendlier to install) if there any simple way to replicate the makeup sway default configuration?

Thank you all for your time.

They let their SSL certificate expire so many times that it became a meme. If I remember correctly it has happened four times.

Just set a fucking reminder lol.

I used to use Manjaro when I first transitioned to Linux from Windows. I think it’s okay. Their mission makes sense, when you consider the grub-crashing that happened a few months ago, Manjaro wasn’t affected.

I’ve never used Manjaro but the perception I get from it is that it is a noob friendly distro with good GUI and config (good) but then catastrophically fails when monkeying around with updates and the AUR. This is a pain for technical users and a back-to-Windows experience for the people it’s targeted towards. Overall, significantly worse than EndeavorOS or plain 'ol vanilla Arch Linux.

Lots of people hate it just because it’s popular and accessible. Some of them are trolls, some of them are being trolled.

All of them rely on lofty argument that have no real bearing for pragmatic use of the distro.

I love Manjaro :)

I tried it on pinephone and laptop. Both had 2 different updates break the OS. Both needed to be reinstalled each time.

Not worth it. Poor quality. Go arch or OpenSuse.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
