So I’ve been iso live testing Manjaro KDE Plasma lately and it looks very polished.

On the other hand, there is a negative vibe towards it.

Why the hate?

    There’s not really any benefit of running Manjaro over Arch, it will only introduce problems over time. If you want a “pre-configured” Arch with a nice installer, go for EndeavourOS, it’s great!

      Manjaro has graphical tools that make it super easy to manage packages, drivers and kernel versions.

          You can but there isn’t a lot of choice, Octopi is pretty much the only other pacman GUI besides Pamac that’s sufficiently fleshed out. All the others are either just package searchers or CLI-only.

          And Manjaro also has the Manjaro Settings Manager, which includes the kernel management module and the hardware drivers management module.

      I just wanna point out, people were using this exact same rhetoric when Antergos was a thing.

      Antergos is no longer a thing. Just saying. Manjaro still is though! I believe it’s older than endeavor OS.

        Even if Endeavour stopped development tomorrow, I could still use and update my system normally because it’s using the regular Arch repos.
