What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...

I’ve never used Manjaro, but I’ve used Arch (I don’t currently use it) enough to know where it went wrong. Basically, they’re trying to make a snapshot based distro out of a distro that’s not snapshot based, and they run into issues because of it. On Arch, if you have an issue, you revert and wait a couple days. On Manjaro, if you have an issue, you revert and then wait, a week? Two? Is there any reasonable assumption that the next snapshot is good? I don’t think they have the manpower to ensure snapshots are high quality, so they’re merely whatever existed at the time, perhaps with obvious issues fixed.

I’ve used Manjaro for ~2 years, then switched to Arch. Had fewer problems when updating Arch than Manjaro and installing stuff from AUR is working much better.

If you don’t want to go through the Arch installation process (though it’s quite easy now with archinstall), you may want to take a look at EndeavourOS. I haven’t personally used it, but it has an easy installation like Manjaro and does not hold packages back

Alex ,

Maybe it depends on what packages you use? I used Manjaro for ~2 years before switching to Arch and definitely had more update-related stability problems with Manjaro.
