Sometimes people tell me I should have gone with either Linux Mint or EndeavourOS, and otherwise don’t really tell me why it’s bad, just that it’s bad. So far I only could find one thing, which is that their repo isn’t 100% rolling for stability, and sometimes it does not guarantee stability.
Its fine. If you read through the complaints people list they’re pretty petty. The most common complaint is people dont like that its arch based but doesnt follow the arch release schedule. Which is fair but only affects people who use the aur.
The main positive IMO that manjaro has that other arch based distros miss is that it tries to be fully featured out of the box instead of trying to ship a very light arch install. This means a lot of things work out of the box that need to be installed and configured on other distros.
The negatives is that new users are attracted to it and they dont know how to use linux so they break things and dont know what went wrong or how to fix it.
