Linux

Used Manjaro in the past, worst distros i've used. Wifi card detections, Screen display and kernel issues,. Re-installed it many times. Never had thoses problems with Arch, Debian, & Ubuntu

Basically, the Manjaro team has no idea what they're doing.

The ManjarNO sheep can fuck off to Reddit for all I care.

Most of the hate posts in this thread, seem to have the same issue: Nvidia.

I have been daily driving since 2018 on Manjaro + KDE. In the beginning, considering it is a rolling distro I just update the system every other week and it would break fairly often. But in reality most users really don't need to do sudo pacman -syyu unless they need certain and specific software update. That's the great thing about Linux, it is not forcing you to update like Windows update. You do update when you specifically need it and know what you want. There's barely any serious virus or security exploit for average Linux users. There are many top world supercomputers running on outdated kernels.

If you are not chasing bleeding edge status, and update your Manjaro less regularly, say on par with Linux Mint update schedules of every 6 months or so, then it'll break less often unless you are really really unlucky.

No hate from me,but rather a simple question? Why use preconfigured distros instead of the original,always best, with archinstall script? You can even install pamac or whatever package installer tool manjaro uses.

Real reason for the hate: The Linux community is overly focused on tribalism and has a console-wars mindset where what I'm using is obviously the best and everything else must be flawed and terrible. Manjaro is probably fine for most use cases.

...although I'd still suggest just using base Arch instead. :)

There was a lot of misinformation about manjaro regarding the "Aur DDOS" and their finances that people still repeat to this day.

The person maintaining the manjarno repo which was a very popular site where all the critism of manjaro was recently corrected all those mistakes and then later took the website down.

Mostly misdirected anger from two categories — Arch purists who balk at the notion of someone modding their beloved distro, and newbs who blame Manjaro for issues they create themselves and they would have on any Arch-based distro.
