I had good experience with manjaro. The main selling point for me was the rolling release. I got tired of reinstalling stuff as Ubuntu updates. There’s always an issue and you end up having to install from scratch. However, as long as Ubuntu is on its own partition, and your files are separated out, that reinstall isn’t so bad. I eventually wrote a todo list for it, and wrote some scripts to get set up faster
- realitythreek 3y agoThe one thing I don’t understand about this perspective is if you’re a person who feels comfortable running Arch, wouldn’t you be comfortable working through a bad package upgrade scenario?
- donkeybeer 3y agoI'd say theres a difference between a whole distro level upgrade causing trouble vs a package or two giving you trouble.

- simooooo 3y agoSwitched to manjaro last week after Ubuntu failed to upgrade itself
