    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.

    I hate how weird the focus on arch installation is. I got attacked on reddit for calling endeavour arch. Like, I used that shitty method of installation in 1997, it’s tedious and there are better ways now.

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

    OP - use Post Image to host and only post the links to Lemmy, especially on .ml where the server is (IIRC) someone’s self hosted system. Uploading to Post Image is just like old skool imgur before it became trackerware junk. Once uploaded, open the image itself in a new tab in the browser to be sure you have the full size raw image URL. Then paste this into the post. You can even do this after posting something like this post in an edit too. If you want to post a linked image into the body of a post or in a comment, the syntax is:

    ![image](OnlyEditThisPartWithYourURL)

    Leave the “image” text in the brackets alone.

    This extra step for external image hosting will reduce the load on all instances, and the image will load much faster for users, avoiding most confusion about this being a meme when you posted it in Linux instead of Linux-memes.

        Your home instance has a big impact on what you can see. It is something of an uphill struggle coming from a smaller instance if others have not already found communities elsewhere. IIRC, you may not be able to subscribe to many unless you first try to post a message to them. This establishes the connection between instances/communities if no one else has already made the connection on your instance. It was a question that came up on .world a lot back when Lemmy was just a few thousand total users, but it is not something I have had to do. I have accounts on other instances that have defederated or that I want to separate interaction from. There is nothing wrong with having accounts elsewhere. If you just use a mobile browser and save login creds it is easy to use several accounts at the same time. I know this seems crazy, to go back to a browser based existence, but the fediverse is not trying to make browsers difficult in order to funnel people onto a stalkerware app. It works quite well.

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

    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
