Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Manjaro Linux is Arch Linux based. Manjaro and Arch relation is like Ubuntu and Debian relation.

Manjaro has its own set of issues that you may want to stay away from.

Edit: Ignore this comment, the image was loaded late. I thought it was a genuine question.

Thanks for linking this, I had totally missed the problems with manjaro.

Meh. I've been using Manjaro for two years now. So far so good. System has been working perfectly.

i was hopeful for manjaro. bad management for sure

I use Mint, Arch (technically Asahi), Debian, Ubuntu, and I used to use Manjaro.

They all have their places. Mint has the best UI/stable no-fuss desktop experience, for instance.

Arch does not have a place though. It's just a more buggy Arch with a worse maintaining team

EDIT: Actually, tbh it's incorrect to even call Manjaro Arch. That's an insult to Arch

Arch ... [is] just a more buggy Arch

I know you meant to say Manjaro, but that's a pretty funny take.
