      tbh who thought making a 100 mirrors to download the iso, the packages and 1000 packages all submitted by random people was a good idea?

      no its not fine. Its the first distro every moron chooses for some reason and it breaks and then they come here and complain about it. If you want arch without arch just use garuda.

          It breaks for an observable reason, they insanely randomly snapshot portions of the repositories with out taking into account anything other than the base install

      it's just a trolling meme, everybody actually thinks manjaro is alright. don't let it get to you. some poojeets website citing their website went down twice is such a fricking joke.

      I loled when Antergos went down. These high schoolers don't even realize the only difference between Arch/Manjaro/Endevour are a keyring/mirrorlist/10-packages and OS-Release.txt

      I can't believe people can be so passionate about such a meme they don't even understand. Unironically, manjaro haters should kill themeselves. They are the biggest meme of all. HAHAHA

        Manjaro is literally just Arch with Calamares and a shitty AUR utility.

          Just needs to get rid of the GUI package manager which is what "breaks" things when newbies use it wrong.

      Why? If it works for you, why are you asking for convincing as to why it is "bad"? What is your use-case? Mint is a fine distro.

    Lmao Manjaro is shite. It kept breaking for me also. I'm a linux noob, didn't have a fricking clue/not enough time to set up Artix from base so I'm using EndeavourOS until I'm ready for a base install. Endeavour hasn't broken once on me and I button bash a decent amount.

    >distros that shouldn't exist...
    Honestly we only need a handful of distros plus some tools to easily make more personalized versions.
    Main branches are Arch, fedora, debian, slackware, Opensuse...we could use to drop 2-3 of those and all associated branches right away and that would help immensely. Of course people would just b***h that thier favorite distro is gone.
    Still any distro that isn't doing something genuinely usefull or different to stand out needs to fricking go. A better question is what handful of distros should we KEEP.
    My choices are...
    >debian, Arch and maybe fedora/redhat as main distros. Its pretty redundant after that.
    >A few 'feature complete' or beginner friendly branches per mainline. Think Manjaro and Mint. A bit of variety without splitting resources a hundred fricking ways.
    >And finally a few wierd oddball purpose built distros...puppy comes to mind as does RHEL and SteamOS 3 for gaymes.
    Everything else needs to fricking die. Instead of hundreds of basically the same linux flavors we should have less fragmentation in repos and more universal programs and apps. Repos, snaps, flatpak and appimage ect should be ALL get at least some support.
    Instead of 300 ways to install Linux lets have more ways to easily use it once installed.

    The idea of distributions is stupid. Y'all need to focus on making applications to replace the ones we need instead of making 100000 distros of the same thing. 1 Linux is, everything else can frick off. Linux is a bad joke.

    this is like this because we are programmers and tinkerers, we make forks of open source software and make the changes we want then release it so others can use it. thats why linux progresses the way it does. use windows if you want one standard os.

    The only "breaking" I've had Manjaro do was a keyring issue, which is absolutely fricking moronic and I don't know why it SOMETIMES correctly updates the keyring while that one time I had to manually do it.

    are the only distro that should exist, the rest is wrothless trash and have no reason to exist, non-base distros should just be install scripts that you apply to a base distro, that's the only same way to do it instead of wasting enormous amount of ressources into worthless customization, patching/backporting and maintainance burden...
