I don't see what the problem is with Arch Linux and why it gets so much flak. I am not a Linux expert by any measure, but I use EndeavourOS and find it really use to use (don't ask me to install from scratch). Its extremely stable and I like the fact that it gets updated constantly.

The only other distro I really liked is MX Linux. My main gripe was that I don't want to reinstall every so many years. I want to set up an OS and just use it without worrying about it being a temporary thing. But maybe I'll change my mind in the future.

I'm not for or against any distro really, maybe except Ubuntu and its bloat. I just use what best suits me, which is the whole point of all the different distros.

Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name

Oracle Linux exists

I had like 2 issues that took literal minutes to fix over the years I ran Manjaro, I know there were some silly misconfigurations years ago but I never paid much attention then the hate and it ran all my stuff just fine. 🤷‍♂️

Built a new rig a few weeks ago and decided to check out EndeavorOS, but would have stuck with that Manjaro install for a while if I hadn't.

if you want to know my problems with manjaro, see this discussion: https://lemmy.ml/comment/9214664

It's a super problematic distro made by an insanely incompetent team, I promise you have been lucky, i've given it to many people and spent years using it, it's garbage.

i think its just people taking the "i use arch btw" meme too seriously and thinking its bad to show or even use it all

Look at the sub in which this is posted 😉. That was the joke 😉.

Its extremely stable

This is why people make fun of arch users

I don't think this is an "Arch is bad" post, but rather a "Void is good post". I think the sticker is remove because it's not relevant to them anymore.
