    Is Manjaro good if I want in on this Arch goodness but don’t want to spend hours configuring stuff? Coming from Fedora

      I haven’t used Manjaro myself but I heard that it is not as good as Arch. Rumors I heard where that it is not as solid as vanilla Arch. YMMV.

      If you plan to use the AUR, absolutely not.

      If you don’t plan to use the AUR it’s probably fine, but I haven’t used it personally in the last few years so I’m not sure.

      I’ve been running it on my work laptop for 6 years at this point and I’ve had no major issues I couldn’t solve.

      Having said that, I recently switched my gaming rig over to endeavour and it’s been great.

      I really have bad luck with Manjaro, even when I don’t use the aur it always breaks on me. I just stick to arch, I started with it and I’m sticking with it.

      I haven’t used it personally but I’ve seen a lot of folks bad mouthing Manjaro.

      Lots of complaints of instability and it being poorly run project. One of the more objective complaints I’ve read is they have a slower replace process so security fixes then Arch.

      Endeavour is better for that, after the install you’ll have plain arch but with a bunch of stuff installed and already set up

      @SubArcticTundra @Haven5341 I personally think Manjaro is a false good idea.

      You’ll have an “out of date” system (i.e., one-month-old) but packages from the AUR which are made for the up-to-date system.

      Quite a nightmare to use IMO (and that’s not talking about Manjaro leadership and certificates problems)
