TL DR: It doesn't matter that much for everyday use, just for problems, package manager, and release cycle.
If they're all you're ever going to use, I would probably go for Alpine, but if you want to have a more general-purpose distro later on, take a look at Arch Linux or Void Linux. So please instead of just linking when rebuting my statement of not having full-time maintainers, could you send me a more specific link?Īll the packages you mentioned are in the Alpine repos.
#Manjaro vs arch linux driver
When I check /people/developers/, I can't find anyone, whose occupation is not something else but "full-time Arch developer", but it doesn't mean there isn't any (there is a train driver guy there, which is quite cool though". Why would anyone want to use Arch Linux?! I check other devices on my network if they can reach but they fail. Hi, you sound like a linux newbie - if that's the case, welcome to running linux! However, this subreddit, /r/ArchLinux is dedicated to the linux distribution Arch Linux, and as a result won't be able to help you with Ubuntu-related issues. Any leads for any workarounds or any relevant threads would be appreciated. Encountering this issue for the first time. I tried to connect it to my monitor and got an error message (xrandr: cannot open display). I really wanted to like Manjaro, but I always ended up with major issues that either required me to reinstall or go back to Arch.Hi, So I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on my office laptop.
I really like their pamac-aur app and frequently use it in Arch. I have repeatedly tried using Manjaro in both virtual and real machine installs. I also keep Debian on select virtual machines and old laptops (eeepc). I still keep up with Ubuntu and my desktop can now triple boot Arch, Ubuntu and W10.
#Manjaro vs arch linux install
After two years of expected catastrophe, I find that I love Arch and now I install it on all my 64 bit laptops. That gave me the confidence to go to full Arch. I confess that I started with Antergos (horrors!). I began using Arch as a typical distro hopping experiment with Ubuntu as a backup on my main desktop. I have been a long time Debian user when I need no fuss dependable builds. I have been an Ubuntu user for long time now and I especially like it again now that it has returned to Gnome. I have always been a distro hopper with a few favorites that I depend on in the end. not to mention that Manjaro is really picky when it comes to dual-booting (read about it for sure if considering dual-booting and Manjaro).Īll in all, Manjaro is excellent, but as per my experience, it starts having weird issues after a few months of use so I no longer see it as an option for me.
#Manjaro vs arch linux upgrade
Over the last 5 years, Arch has completely broken on me ONCE due to a HW issue during an upgrade but Manjaro has shat bricks on multiple occasions. Repos are different from Arch and you will run into weird issues with Manjaro at one point or another, at least that's my experience. Package manager is the same and you get access to AUR, but do not expect help from Arch community regarding fixing the issues you run into with Manjaro (Manjaro's own forums have the best community in the Linux ecosystem imho though). Sure, you get to tinker around but you get that with almost every linux distro. Even though Manjaro uses Arch very, very deep in its core, it is heavily modified and is more of an "arch-like" by now.
