  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Today i learned that manjaro has, in parts, german roots and is maintained by a german company. For that i, as a german myself, want to strongly apologize in the name of the german people!!

    I've always felt that Manjaro holds an untenable position on the Arch derivative spectrum. It's a weird mix of difficult (inherited from Arch) and fragile setup out of the box.

    The best way to use it is to accept all the decisions that were put into that setup and not tinker with it... but that runs counter to everything that Arch stands for. So it keeps attracting exactly the wrong kind of user, who will tinker and get frustrated, and eventually break it, and then go around telling everybody that it sucks.

    IMO it works well for two types of users:

    • A person who's desktop-savvy but not particularly Linux savvy, who doesn't have root rights. Provided someone else handles stuff like the initial install, adding apps, and running the updates for them.
    • Someone's who's an experienced Linux user and appreciates the "Archiness" but has grown tired of babysitting their daily driver distro and wants shit to "just work" for the most part. But can also fix it if something happens.

    It's a rather specific niche.
