    So i’ve since moved to Arch (btw), but what’s wrong with Manjaro? I never had an issue with it, but I have seen quite a few people dunking on it… just without any explanation.

      I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with it. In my opinion, the only downside to Manjaro is when you activate the aur repository, as doing so can cause dependency conflicts because this repository is designed for Arch and not for Manjaro and its version timeline.

        Maybe this is why I’ve been having issues with several applications after some random update months ago.

        It was fine for years, but lately I’ve been having several app open really slowly, mainly appimages.

          Isn’t the whole point of appimages to not use system dependencies and instead bring all their dependencies in one neat file?

            That’s why I haven’t been able to identify what’s wrong. The get stuck usually when opening or when trying to save/open a file. So I’m guessing there’s some dependency that is not working correctly.

            Otherwise they run fine when not interacting with anything. I don’t really know what’s happening and at this point I think it may be easier to just have a clean install and start over

      There are some very vocal people against it but I’ve never understood why. It makes no sense to put it in the same basket as Ubuntu.

        Bu’ Bubunbu’s more reliable. Different reasons to dislike. Manjy may be manjy and janky, but bubunbu’s got an insane corporation behind it doing all the pop enshitification things.
