As someone who ran Manjaro as my first Linux for 1,5 years, it’s a breeze to set up and everything just works…until it doesn’t.
What screws it is that eventually, over time, something goes wrong. Something breaks here and there, new bugs appear, and without Arch proficiency that is not really expected of a Manjaro user, it’s next to impossible to track it down. So, eventually one has to reinstall.
I’ve been a strong Manjaro proponent back in the day, but now I see its flaws, unfortunately. I wish it could be a great option, though.
Lol, that does make me wonder. I think I changed the boot process from silent to visible at one point, because it wouldn’t boot if the silent option was enabled.
That’s…very odd :D
Especially if it was GRUB. This thing normally just works on any distro, even the less stable ones.
Yeah, it was grub. I changed it to see if I could find where it was hanging in the boot process, but as soon as I made the change it would simply boot without issue.
