If it hits that It’ll go much higher very quickly, linuxes problems are literally all related to marketshare or need a few more years of ironing out the wayland transition… which by then will likely be done.

you’re right, I oversimplified, bazzite is great because it’s unhindered by patents and preinstalls the drivers, I’d recommend a community fedora fork, the key being that it’s much easier to turn fedora into this than arch.

manjaro is this but with way more footguns, I say this having maintained a bunch of manjaro systems for people, switching them to bazzite fixed nearly all of my maintenance burden, because it’s easy to remove them from fedora but impossible with arch, intentionally, and by design.

If you want something easy that just works arch is very deliberately designed to not be that, on purpose, even.

My recommendation for someone that needs an appstore with a gui is fedora, manjaro is terrible for this, because they have an appstore that regularly breaks and requires cli intervention anyway, if having a gui for package management is important to you manjaro is a terrible choice, as is arch in general.

read some of the comments here, this is not uncommon, and it’s a fundamental issue with the design of arch package management that has been completely resolved elsewhere.

No, I do not agree at all that that is a valid usecase for manjaro. Anybody who needs a distro that works out of the box and is convenient shouldn’t even be considering anything arch based.

Tell me why I’m wrong.

literally impossible, even if it was run by competent people (it isn’t) its design fundamentally caters to no-one

want easy arch? Cachyos, endeavoros

are those too hard? Fedora, aurora, bazzite

The current design of slowing down arch breaks more things than it solves and just results in a significantly harder to fix setup.

the only people who like manjaro haven’t tried anything else and haven’t really thought about their distros philosophies at all, or just got really unlucky with other distros. There’s literally no reason to use this distro that isn’t just that you’re already used to it. That’s not even factoring in that the distro is a net negative for the community (see: ddosing the aur)

Nooooo! Not property damage noooooooooo!!!

It doesn’t care that you think it’s a bad goal, that’s its goal, you can call it a stupid goal all you want while it kills you.

We don’t have language for this and even if we did it would be needlessly complex, why bother

Do you have the issue trackers?

Matrix, I recommend tuwunel

You should try cosmic.

What do you prefer about piefed? Lemmy seems perfect to me.

i recommend trying out thunder, I just switched from sync.

It’s foss and actively developed

Arch should not be used by beginners and hacking together a distro to make that happen was never a good idea. A team that cannot even figure out SSL certs should not have even attempted it.

Most of it speaks to their lack of competency. Issues like this are less frequent on arch and the whole point of this distro is that It’s supposed to be an easier arch.

it is in fact harder arch.

All of it matters, hard disagree, even if none of them are individually that bad it shows an insane degree of incompetence

the linux mint thing happened one time and was resolved, it shows no history of being incompetent, that’s why it isn’t mentioned, it’s hardly worth mention, one security breach in the entire history of the project is not a big deal.

furthermore i personally don’t think mint is a good distro either so, whatever.

It’s not if it’s done right, android is problematic because it’s not a community project, it’s just a code dump.

case in point, the linux kernel itself

I recommend dragon launcher or lawnchair

dragon is now my favorite, the ring design is awesome and the dev is active, but lawnchair is the most like nova but open source.
