Let’s set the record straight. Biden’s loss shows that the right-wing perspective has real support. And seriously, what’s with this endless ‘Russia threat’ narrative? Russia doesn’t need Poland - they don’t even share a border! Historically, Russia has been focused on defending its own land, not invading Poland. If anything, Russia’s only moved against Poland in response to Poland’s own aggression, like back when Poland tried attacking the USSR before WWII. And when Germany offered to split Poland, the USSR took the chance to settle old scores. And let’s not forget, back then, a lot of Ukrainians served the Nazis, hunting down Polish people. Fast forward, and Canada’s applauding a WWII Nazi veteran who served with the SS. You call Russia ‘bad,’ but give Germany a free pass? That’s hypocrisy at its finest. Poland's history of serving as Germany's pawn just repeats itself, over and over.

Talking about people, whether in print or by voice is less than discussing ideas. Damn the paper that does it.

Does it have flatpak?

running manjaro on a desktop and a notebook since 2018. NEVER had a problem i couldnt solve in less than 5 minutes and never reinstalled it. EDIT: BTW the i3 edition is a COMMUNITY edition, not an official image.

This is the first time I’ve heard about the hit piece on Luke Smith. Interesting.

If I could get Debian Stability with bleeding edge packages for gaming's needs (drivers, etc.) I would use that distro until it, or I die. I'm currently on Nobara and I enjoy my experience. things just work, i mean really they do, but I don't like the idea of being reliant on a very small team of maintainers who if they decide to do something else or can no longer upkeep the project i'm on a timer to move. So, I think i'll try Arch next and do my best to just, be very selective with packages and use Timeshift to keep things from being too unstable for my day-to-day. But yeah I don't like the idea of relying on the AUR for important items, but I consider the people who maintain packages there as well as really any distro's repositories to be saints. whether or not they know what they're doing lmao i appreciate them all the same.

I see they have a 32-bit ISO. I have some very old laptops that I want to try this on. I've been running Alpine on them with XFCE, but if I can get them running a Debian base like this they will become even more useful. This is really cool man! I see they have sysVinit or runit. Back in the day I used to prefer OpenRC because it booted quicker and the whole PC was just more responsive. I haven't heard of these two init systems. I'm going to give them a try in the VM side by side to see how they run.

wow, it is incredibly robust for such a light system! I may have to give it a try.

Nice video. I had not considered Mega for sync. I had been using Syncthing on my 3 computers/devices to keep Obsidian Vault in sync when I used Obsidian.

Meh, I'll stick to Mint/Deb/Arch... curious about Fedora though =)

I have been using Manjaro for 5 years without having to reinstall, and I use a lot from AUR. Sometimes things get broken, but that is not the fault of the distro as it doesn't enable AUR out-of-the-box. In my experience many people mess up their installations because they spend more time tinkering and tweaking rather than simply using the OS.

yeah I gave up on Manjaro a few years ago and left their forum also what a place

Vudgie desktop please it has a lot of potential but feels unstable and lacking

you had me at Solus but lost me at KDE

Linus proves that a person who thinks he's a "liberal" woke can and will be a nazi.

As a long term anti-putin liberal (rigth leaning, liberalism ISN'T LEFT btw) Russian I want to say that everything Europeans and Americans know about Russia is a pure brainwash. Woke brainwash, mostly. First of all, most of us either anti-war (we just can't speak loudly, remember, we live in a dictatorship) or in deep apolitical state of mind. And it's understandable - a person just can't handle such a strong and long term stress, especially if they can't do anything about it. And above all, woke populists all over the world make US liable for this. Like it's literally me who took those decisions! And this madness pisses us off - we see that we should not only suffer from our own government but also from clueless holier than thou people like Linus or Stephen King or other crazy people. And this giant gap between reality and "liberals" (in fact, neomarxists, not libs) is the reason dems are failed.

I've installed Arch via the command line, via Arco, via Garuda, and via Manjaro Cinnamon. I'll bet I'm not qualified to tell the difference within my senior-citizen computer user experience. All of these distros of Arch work for me. (Sigh...) I like the calming teal theme of Manjaro Cinnamon right out of the box, but I also like the crazy and garish look of Garuda. My uses aren't heavy-duty enough to really make me passionate enough about Manjaro to make me hate or love it. Mind you, I DO enjoy distro-hopping as a hobby; wiping out a machine to put on a new-to-me distro is no big deal. That may also be why I won't die on any particular Linux hill. Except...for the hill that is Linux itself.

I am a new Arch user coming from Linux Mint and OpenSUSE. After a week what I find is that AUR is indeed powerful with things that don't exist on other distros. However I also find that there are many apps that have official pcakges on other distros but only have AUR package on Arch. It almost feel that some developers are like "oh Arch users already have our software on AUR so we don't need to use our time to release officially for Arch". and I don't like that.

Here my experiences: If you want truly learn Arch way, don't install Manjaro. If you pretty know Arch, you can use Manjaro when you want some bloat ISO for quick installation. If a beginner just install Manjaro at first, he will be very confused with Arch way or lazy to switch to real Arch. Manjaro seem tobe nice to me but bloating and confusing

This guy say very much same as my feeling. My first Linux distro also be Manjaro, because it have very nice pre-setup/configured ISO installer. Until I have to deal with conflict while updating package. It is nightmare, event with pure archlinux, it is still complicated with me. So I never install Manjaro again But recently I want to use Arch as an OS to read book on my thinkpad tablet so I install Manjaro again, because I need pre-configure bloat ISO installer. It work nice, I think that is an use case of Manjaro.

Anyway congratulation! Same for me when I found magic thing in Linux, no one care, but I found fun

I mean, I am not a fan of Manjaro, but yeesh this is bad.

That's an ugly hat in the thumbnail. Gross.

...moved all PCs to CachyOS. AUR with paru is a superior experience. Hyprland 0.44.1 at this writing is awesome. Distro hopping should be fruitful not a syndrome of futility.

Have you still stayed away? I wonder if arch has gotten a lot better over the last year? Because i have been on it for around that long. I only use pacman packages and the aur and the only time i have had to uninstall a package happened because i mixed some git versions wjth normal package versions of a certain software group (different hyprland stuff if you are curious). Gentoo is the other distro i use. And they do have systemd as an option btw. You can choose openrc or systemd. But. If you think those issues you had with pacman were rough. I promise you won't like gentoo. There are definitely situations that need to be worked around with portage that you will run into. And issues that can happen with upgrades and slot conflicts. To me gentoo is still great, but for different reasons than i think arch is great.

I just switched from Manjaro they going to collect your personal data by default and you will have to optout if you can😢no thanks

My first dive into linux was Black Rhino Linux on the Playstation 2 in 2006. It was based on Debian Woody.

I think you'll go back to Arch.😁

Great video

My last distro after hopping for everyone since the 90's was Manjaro, stoped using it after started developing for Apple ecosystem and then needed to start to use a Mac. No reason to use anything else besides Manjaro, better package manager than apt/yum/etc and comes out the box pretty much that I would spent time installing if using Arch. And a Brazilian developer called Fabio Akita just released a custom Omakub for Manjaro called Omakub-MJ on this GitHub. (Yes the same Omakub from DHH)

You've failed to demonstrate or even being to describe any fundamental issues with this distro. It sounds like just a personal vendetta, that likely steams from a lack of knowledge of what todo when you get in an unexpected situation with pacman. "Besides my hatred of manjaro", " I was hoping something would break" these are not quotes from someone who is objectively reviewing something

I guess this video shouldn't exist. You: - This distrop is *****. - Well it is beautifull and everythings works fine. - Am I someone who can change is mind about something? - Well I guess NO because this distro is ****** Voilà the résumé. Not sure how this video is simply a joke or not. Looks like you just repeating things you hear without knowing anything.

Yes manjaro broke on me after i didn't update it for a few months

Not all problems can be fixed with TimeShift. Manjaro / Garuda have insidious clever ways of breaking your system over time that can make it nearly unrecoverable.

I have always said that the AUR was not a good idea to use on Manjaro for the same reasons you mentioned. I also agree that the AUR can cause problems for standard Arch for the same reasons.

Absolutely agree with you.This distro should not exist. Looks great out of the proverbial box, but don't think of it as a quick and dirty Arch install. It isn't. I use Void btw.

What's the point in any of these things... just use Arch lol.

I want to like manjaro, I like the idea, but the manjaro team has put out an incompetent project. I'm sorry it's just how it is.

Running Manjaro on my workstation for 8 years, never saw a reinstall or borked after an update.

I've been using Manjaro for about six years in my main rig, the same install just changed the hardware (in a point I went from Intel to AMD) no reinstall needed. If you don't trust it, well that's you.

manjaro broke on me twice. never again

completely agreed. couldn't have said it better myself.

Interesting video.

For a better Arch experience, I found CachyOS more appealing.

I used Manjaro for roughly 1 year, I have been on Arch for much longer. The useful feature of Manjaro is that it is easy to install it. I am not against it existing but I do consider it a problem that Manjaro does not just use the Arch-repositories. They do that to first test it before putting it on their own repositories, I understand that argument but it goes wrong as soon as the users use the AUR too and most of them do. So better adapt and just use the regular Arch repositories. Yes, occasionally some package will break. I have experienced it twice in 2024: the kernel (AMD blundered: they missed a > vs >= error due to resizable bar hiding it) and glibc (compiled without support for the legacy hashing method which actually was used by popular games). The people who use GRUB (I use Systemdboot) also experienced that breaking a few times, not necessarily in 2024 but it happened in the last years. The Manjaro team is not wrong about their reasoning for testing the packages first but considering that most Manjaro users use the AUR it would be better to use the Arch repositories instead. From the user his perspective. Installing and maintaining Arch yourself really is not so difficult so if you want to use Arch-base then you do yourself a favor by learning how to do it yourself, you can do it after watching 1 video or reading 1 install-script on GitHub. After having used Arch for a long time I have slightly over 200 packages which I installed myself (the rest are dependencies), this on a system with quite a lot of software running. The large majority was installed by copypasting from a graphical environment. Out of my head I start with these packages: base, base-devel, vim/neovim, pulseaudio, xorg, networkmanager, Firefox (then you get asked for fonts and I install noto which are Google its fonts), Alacritty, copyq, scrot, xclip, lxappearance, qt5ct and some themes. I don't use a desktop-environment, I use dwm, a clipboardtool and a screenshottool. That is pretty much it, with this and at most 20 'commands' I reboot in a graphical environment. Those other commands to install Arch don't differ much from what you would do with a GUI-installer: systemname, password, setting the region. A few added tasks: making/copying a simple hostfile, chrooting (just 1 command). That is it for the install process. In the graphical environment I install all the other programs.

This will not age well

I notice the Manjaro stans is out of the woodwork. I've used Manjaro a handful of times but I've just realized instead of risking your computer with broken/slow packages, I'm just using vanilla Arch. Arco is an alternative but why not just stick to regular Arch in that case?

I've used Manjaro since 2009. I had two problems with pamac within the first few months because I ignored a warning after I typed "sudo pamac ..." which said "Don't run pamac with sudo. Wait for the Password: prompt." The pacman keyring became corrupted. But it was easily fixed. Other than that Manjaro has been flawless. I currently have nimlangserver-git and perlnavigator installed from the AUR.

The only 'good' Arch Linux derivatives, in order of personal preference: EndeavourOS Artix Arco Linux Why is EndeavourOS the best? It's literally Arch Linux w/ GUI + cool themes + basic utilities (which you can remove)

archinstall, EndeveourOS, ArcoLinux... why people insist on using Manjaro is a real mistery.
