I have been using Linux for a few years, usually some flavor of Debian. But recently I acquired an older Thinkpad and thought it would behoove me to use something more… involved.
So I chose to dive into Manjaro and only broke pacman once. So now the question… can I say I’m using Arch btw or is that a faux pas?
Oh definitely, Manjaro is all about “mommy knows best”. It’s why people who say “you should use Arch instead of Manjaro” are completely missing the point.
Technically, Manjaro used Arch exactly as intended, leveraging its flexibility, but it’s very ironic that it used it to remove said flexibility. I’m guessing it’s why some Arch fans feel betrayed and hate Manjaro.
