Just came across this on another thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32494659 and it was news to me. I had heard quite a lot of good things about Manjaro and was getting ready to use it mostly because of the famous Manjaro Hardware Detection.

Figured it'd make sense to submit that article to let others know...

Manjaro doesn't bring anything besides the easier installation anyways.

Manjaro are also the distro that Pine64 apparently got into bed with instead of working with the broader community, which lead to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32494659

Why did the SSL expire?

I'm only asking because I have a domain that also uses a certificate from Let's Encrypt / R3 / ISRG Root X1 and I've never had to renew it. (It seems like they auto-renew every 90 days?)

As an Ubuntu/Debian usooor, Manjaro has never been something that interested me. Endeavour on the other hand...

I have a theory that the only reason Manjaro is popular is that for the longest time, Arch did not have an installer. Do not underestimate the power of making things easier for your users.

My experience with Manjaro is that it is solid for dev work. To clarify: It has its own dedicated repos. AUR is optional, hardly ever need it.

I'm a bit concerned that Manjaro is getting a bit of hate recently, and that this might impact the morale of contributors.

I'm glad Linux has a diversity of distributions, and I trust that users are selecting distributions that provide value to them, and I'm thankful for the work that goes into the development of Manjaro.

Let the rough collaboration/competition play out.

I like the polish of manjaro, I just prefer the stability of debian. Polish doesn't mean much when a rolling release breaks your computer.
