Manjaro is supposed to have repositories with slightly older and more stable
software, but in my experience it's less stable and well-documented. Manjaro

I never used systemd for the same reason I kicked every KDE executable and

thanks for telling me about this mb. I'm not advanced enough in my
knowledge of Linux to use arch. I'll stick with mint but what about
manjaro? Manjaro users: Do you have the same issue with it; is it good for
a casual Linux user??

I'll second arch, I've been using it for a good 4-5 years now, and only
thing I run on personal hardware anymore.
That said, it can be cranky, even with rolling updates. I've had them
randomly blow up at least one system that I couldn't figure out how to fix,
and upgrades can be a pain with AUR r
this has weird knockon effects too. since arch is rolling release, and
highly customizable, they don't tend to switch up major pieces often. say
with fedora they decided to go to ext3 to ext4 to xfs, then btrfs
filesystems. now, if you run the upgrade scripts on time you can go from
fedora 35 to
oh, they have a good test system. what i mean is breaking versions.

decides a particular tuning variable is no longer used in favor of
something else. and all the sudden your database performance chunks

wonderful. with breaking patches: is it fixed like the next day or is it
usually later than that?

arch has probably the best community (and wiki) in the business. they also
have a huge (and relatively simple) extended software library (AUR)
the main reason most people will speak of arch is that it is a rolling (or
streaming) release. so with fedora or ubuntu, you get new versions every 6
mon
also, it was mentioned that arch has benefits. what are those?

Oh sorry, I must have buried the lead. I use systemd linux systems for my
desktopy desktops (ubuntu and fedora mostly). Aka, the ones i check email,
browse the web, play games on. For my developery desktops I do not use
systemd, but that is born of pure frustration and malding.

So do you recommend system d for a desktop? It assms you don't and then you
do.

two main reasons.
one is ideological. the way systemd was put into the community rubbed a
lot of people the wrong way. i won't get into the details, you can google
for that whole war. no sense bringing it up again.
two is simplicity. systemd is now over a million lines of code. to put
that in
Why would u not want system d?

Or, Artix could be used in order to get the benefits of Arch without systemd.
