What does he mean by required? This law would apply to a tiny fraction of users - no one in my continent for example. I hope he understands there’s no way it should be required for everyone.

I don’t think openSUSE markets itself properly. I can’t believe EU_OS picked Fedora instead. That makes 0 sense.

I used to hop distributions in my youth, between 2000 and 2019. I have settled on Manjaro and never looked back.
As of today, my desktop works perfectly and I have not seen any stability issues.

I am considering testing openSUSE Slowroll in the coming months but not on my main computer. What’s holding me back is that I can’t see any momentum behind Slowroll. I have no clue if the solution will be supported for a long period. I’d like to have more guarantees than what is on openSUSE website.

I’m too old for that. I’m running a fairly recent laptop - 4 years old. It’s not a beast but largely enough for my usage. Not enough for Gentoo though!

I love Debian. Debian is king, Debian is life! However on my desktop I prefer a semi-rolling release distribution.

I’ve never regretted it for the past 7 years on my daily drivers. That’s why I don’t get the constant criticism around this distribution.

People are very harsh with Manjaro. There’s more than just a list of objective facts unfortunately. I suppose there were some bruised egos at some point.

The certs issue wasn’t a big deal, it didn’t change anything for me as a user. It just paints a bad image.

Except that I want the same release cycle as Manjaro. The only equivalent I have found so far seems to be OpenSuse Slowroll, in beta for the past 2 years.

I have to correct 50% of my words in my language (French). It keeps guessing words that don’t exist. Example: I swipe “Donc” (then) and it guess “Do’c”. What is that word?

I’ve been very happy with Endeavour / Arch on my desktop for the past year until last week. Issues when waking up the desktop, Plasma panels disappearing, resolution forced to the minimum, etc. I rolled back the kernel to the LTS version and it fixed a few things. I can’t complain because it’s not my main computer but it’s not ideal.

Yay?

All you said is factually correct but I never had any issue with aur and Manjaro. It seems the issue is more theoretical than anything. On the other side, there are plenty of situations where I don’t want to have frequent 1Gb updates that don’t bring many benefits.

Those cycles are meant for testing a coherent set of versions. If you update Arch on a monthly basis I’m not quite sure you got the same testing. I’ve been running Manjaro for 8 years now (laptop for business and family stuff) and I can’t remember any issue with it. I also have Endeavour and Debian on my desktop (gaming / casual) and server.

Manjaro differs from Arch in terms of update cycles. They are not rolling like Arch but adhere to some monthly-ish release cycle. Which i love by the way.
