~~First time?~~

jdk-openjdk vs jre-openjdk? archlinux.org mentions it, although the workaround it provides is fake news and also results in pacman complaining about conflicts.

I just removed stuff, abused pacman --nodeps and prayed that my backups would be sufficient to restore my inevitable fuckup (no fuckup happened, somehow). Try that at your own risk though...

I think I’ll just switch to something more user-friendly again. When I installed Manjaro, I thought I liked tinkering. But since then I’ve started working and just want to get home to a functioning computer.

I appreciate the effort, though.

Arch and Manjaro tend to have that effect on people, it's understandable

I feel this, Fedora filled the gap for me. I needed more current software, but if that isn't a priority Debian is amazing.

Manjaro nowadays has become a hassle. It used to be really solid around 5-6 years ago. I had it for 3+ years. Then it started breaking a lot. I switched to EndeavourOS 1.5 years ago, been solid since. The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.

The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.

What’s driving me away is that I have to deal with it at all. The command just fails and leaves you to google the solution. That’s annoying and unnecessary.

I know now that Manjaro isn’t the OS for me if I’m not willing to do that.

If you like to tinker but still have some consistency, I'd suggest gentoo. It's been really solid for the last 16 years for me.
