Pretty much the title. Where’s the hate towards Manjaro coming from? I was pretty much a Ubuntu/Fedora user for years but never got too technical. Used almost always gnome, but recently got interested in tiling wm and have done some searches and stumbled upon the Manjaro Sway edition and everything works quite well, but I keep seeing people bashing on Manjaro and I don’t know exactly why. So if I were to use sway in Arch or Arco (way friendlier to install) if there any simple way to replicate the makeup sway default configuration?

Thank you all for your time.

      But what did you like about Manjaro compared to other distributions? If I introduce someone who’s never used the internet before to Internet Explorer 6, they might claim to like it very much as well.

        I like the AUR and rolling-release model.

        It’s pretty much a pre-configured arch that’s easier to maintain.

        @BaconIsAVeg I agree with your statement. I liked Manjaro because it felt a little bit more faster on my potato PC and it that it looked nice (i know you can customize every distro to your liking, but I’m the kind of person that just uses the defaults). Before i used Fedora, Ubuntu 18.04 and Linux mint.
        For a few years now i am using openSUSE for my daily tasks and windows for some light gaming (i still have the same potato PC, but upgraded with SSD)
