My first distro was Manjaro. 3 months later I moved "temporarily" to Arch so that I could fix Manjaro whenever it broke. Never had an issue after 3 years using the very same Arch installation. Don't use Manjaro, kids. Use base Arch!
Manjaro only broke on me twice in the past year (one time was i accidentally installed a real time kernel which broke smthng) which I feel fine dealing with because my boyfriend is more Linux savvy than me and can figure it out for me if it does. So I'm fine as is for now I use arch on my laptop and it's fine enough but I like the way Manjaro works for my gaming machine and I don't wanna distro hop to endeavor when I can just make regular backups
Have been using Manjaro for over 5 years... I've maybe had 3 issues in that whole time-frame... - On my work-laptop, AMD pushed a broken driver update or something, which I fixed in less than 15 minutes using the Arch wiki. - Another time an update forgot to create a link / shortcut, to some updated dependency. Also fixed in 15 minutes... - Last issue was my old GTX980 Nvidia drivers that started to act up after an update, so I just rolled back a Time-shift backup in order to fix it. Then bought an 7900XTX instead, which solved all my issues... (I build my system in 2022, but reused my old GTX980 due to the ridiculous GPU pricing. CPU is a 5900X, so no bottlenecks... ). So I don't really get the hate against Manjaro, works great for me...
1:15 Someone from team BSD here: the concern over "bloat" is more of an OpenBSD thing, with one of the most common compliments towards the operating system being how "minimalistic" it is (you can tell that these are Arch/Artix users).

I've been using Manjaro for three years and the system itself has never broken. I did have issues like when I used it with Gnome, but that was probably DE related since after switching to KDE updates are way better behaved, only some very minor things with AUR packages.
Same experience for me, using Manjaro since 2019... I've maybe had 3 issues in 5+ years, of which two where solved in less than 20 minutes or so... The last issue was my old GTX980 drivers going bonkers after an update, so I just reverted a Time-shift backup. Bought a 7900XTX to replace my old GPU, no issues afterwards anymore...

It doesn't surprise you with drastic changes, it's just a really good experience similar to Windows 7. I just love how they keep refining this experience, instead of hopping on every latest trend. And they develop a decent desktop environment and useful little apps.
@@N_4747 You can have distros that are more specialized. Arch Linux for example is extremely minimal and supposed to be custom built to the experience you want.

Debian 12 and the existence of flatpaks breaks this stereotype. Yeah, you probably want certain things to remain updated, just use flatpaks, everything else, let it be stable.
I grew up on Windows, even remembering my uncle using MS-DOS to start up old Apogee games. About a month ago I switched to LMDE to revive and old 2012 Inspiron laptop and have loved the experience and only wish I had done this decades ago. One of these days I'll figure out why my WiFi isn't working and why my battery won't charge (hardware and driver issues most likely) and try to get something like Garuda working. My aim is to build a system optimize for music production and lighter gaming.
Speaking as an Arch user, I have yet to be confused with a hacker. Although I was kicked out of a restaurant once, the way I looked, they thought I was homeless.
As an Arch user I take issue with the "furry" assessment. I am NOT a furry. I like KEMONO, it's a different strain bro. I swear bro it's different bro!
I was seeing the other distros and thinking “Ok, it probably isn’t accurate or just a meme” and then I got jumped at how SUSE section described 90% of my personality
That Debian part is just so accurate. I tried using it as my daily driver once. Turns out stable has packages so old upstream doesn't even have documentation for them any more. Testing is a bit better, but not by much. Then Sid breaks as often as Manjaro does!
Aside from something I can't even recall the details about (from 20 years ago), I've only used Linux Mint. (At 40, I suppose I'm old.) I'm open to try out some alternatives once I'm truly taking the step away from Windows as my primary OS, though. The most important thing will be that I can use it for gaming and coding, and I suppose having a Windows-like desktop environment... isn't actually that important? Cinnamon did feel pretty good, but it had a bunch of accessibility issues. Maybe I'll end up being one of those people who tweak or code their own DE.
In 1998 I bought a very thick about Linux, with distros pocked inside the covers: Red Hat, Slackware, and Caldera. Red Hat install broke from a case error so I moved on to Caldera, which included an easily installed GUI, a distraction from really getting my hands into Linux. Last of all I tried Slackware, and learned all sort of fun stuff, delighted that Linux always seemed to include a C compiler good enough to build the OS itself. Since then I tried Mandrake and SUSE and SimplyMepis, always on some trailing-edge system, until finally one office-shelf-penguin owner recommended Kubuntu. But if i want to make music it's Ubuntu Studio, with its low-latency kernel.

Qubes: You probably don't have friends, you are too busy hiding because everyone is out to get you
As an arch Linux user I guess I will have to accept my fate
Kali linux: You are an edgy hacker who is probably under 18, and doesn't know anything about hacking
Being a 23 year old that just switched from Windows 11 to Mint,, I think I can see my first gray hair
Debian 12 and the existence of flatpaks breaks this stereotype. Yeah, you probably want certain things to remain updated, just use flatpaks, everything else, let it be stable.
I agree
I grew up on Windows, even remembering my uncle using MS-DOS to start up old Apogee games. About a month ago I switched to LMDE to revive and old 2012 Inspiron laptop and have loved the experience and only wish I had done this decades ago. One of these days I'll figure out why my WiFi isn't working and why my battery won't charge (hardware and driver issues most likely) and try to get something like Garuda working. My aim is to build a system optimize for music production and lighter gaming.
Speaking as an Arch user, I have yet to be confused with a hacker. Although I was kicked out of a restaurant once, the way I looked, they thought I was homeless.
gentoo and freebsd users are far more likely to be furries than arch users
As an Arch user I take issue with the "furry" assessment. I am NOT a furry. I like KEMONO, it's a different strain bro. I swear bro it's different bro!
this is funny as shit dude
I am literally unable to have an opinion on this
I was seeing the other distros and thinking “Ok, it probably isn’t accurate or just a meme” and then I got jumped at how SUSE section described 90% of my personality
Mageia/OpenMandriva: you haven't moved on from your crush on Mandrake since 2011
Zorin on desktop, fedora+chrome OS on touch screen laptop. Good video.
Linux mint: you use it because it works and is lightweight.
Zorin: you use it because its windows but Linux.
That Debian part is just so accurate. I tried using it as my daily driver once. Turns out stable has packages so old upstream doesn't even have documentation for them any more. Testing is a bit better, but not by much. Then Sid breaks as often as Manjaro does!
Man Solus is such an overlooked distro, I want to get burned as well every now and then.
Linux tails: you want to be extra safe on the dark net
Bringus Studios gonna be made, that you said he wasted his life savings on "weird accessories", he is just gaming on cursed stuff, let him cook
As a Manjaro user, I feel the first part...
But I'm not sure about the second part, as my current system was originally installed back in June 2022...
Where is Kali?
(used it for cybersecurity tasks)
Kali: Scriptkid.
Either a white hat, a CS student, or a script kid
As a new linux mint user, i can confirm that im really old and check gmails and watch cat videos everytime
As a Mint user I feel so seen 😂
I'm constantly recommended Arch and will probably get there some day. Fun video.
~Proxy
I'm using a
Manjaro: Its the third week, everything is still alright somehow
Aside from something I can't even recall the details about (from 20 years ago), I've only used Linux Mint. (At 40, I suppose I'm old.)
I'm open to try out some alternatives once I'm truly taking the step away from Windows as my primary OS, though. The most important thing will be that I can use it for gaming and coding, and I suppose having a Windows-like desktop environment... isn't actually that important?
Cinnamon did feel pretty good, but it had a bunch of accessibility issues. Maybe I'll end up being one of those people who tweak or code their own DE.
OpenBSD: You can't even install it on your computer.
as a manjaro user my grub loader almost broke
Gentoo: Same as Arch, but you really care about FOSS
As a debian user I can confirm that I love having outdated packages
I though Fedora's/Red Hat was gonna be "works for a living"
Man, I really loved my snow distro... Oh my god, it is so old, you can't find it in google.
1:04 I disabled flatpaks
But they are the future.
i thought the arch one was gonna be the casual "i use arch linux" but why is it so accurate 😭
In 1998 I bought a very thick about Linux, with distros pocked inside the covers: Red Hat, Slackware, and Caldera. Red Hat install broke from a case error so I moved on to Caldera, which included an easily installed GUI, a distraction from really getting my hands into Linux. Last of all I tried Slackware, and learned all sort of fun stuff, delighted that Linux always seemed to include a C compiler good enough to build the OS itself. Since then I tried Mandrake and SUSE and SimplyMepis, always on some trailing-edge system, until finally one office-shelf-penguin owner recommended Kubuntu. But if i want to make music it's Ubuntu Studio, with its low-latency kernel.
Pop OS user here, I’m not exactly new to Linux, I’m just too lazy to reinstall all my software if I hop distros again lol
