  • Their devs constantly make mistakes that harm the ecosystem, they suggest poor practices, and are generally incompetent.

    They ddosed the aur twice the second time the exact same way as the first. No solution was put into place to fix the root cause and it caused a major issue. They didn’t learn.

    The lead arm Dev pushed an update to Asahi (trusted, due to their position) that broke the system for half of the users (those using xorg) showing the dev didn’t test it on xorg at all. The problem? They upped a version for a dependency which had nothing to do with their code. The issue was documented. This dev, their lead arm dev, didn’t check the docs before upoing the version. Didn’t test at all either. This is a lead dev. That’s their standard

    Before asahi was released they claimed manjaro worked on the m1 macbooks with a marketing page and all shipping a random dev version of the Asahi kernal known to not even boot. This was lucky as if it could, the build had a chance to break the computer. What did they do this? Who knows.

    They forgot to update their SSL certs 5 times telling people to change their system clocks the first time. You can automate SSL cert renewal by the way. It’s easy and takes at max twenty minutes if it’s not cooperating and you’ll never have to worry again. This shows, again, they’re not competant and don’t learn from their mistakes.

    They suggested, and strongly defended, using sudo pacman -Syyu which forces a database refresh for every install. This is not likely ever needed unless something fucks up bad and puts unnecessary stress on the repos.

    A lot more too but I’m sleepy. I rarely say a distro is a bad choice but manjaro is the strongest exception for me. You can’t trust their devs. Of course the entire AUR and update issue but that’s hit or miss on whether it effects you

    If you want a semi rolling release like manjaro I’d suggest OpenSuse tumbleweed. Same release idea but with consistantly competant devs.

    Manjaro is a wet fart. I don’t want them sitting in my lap man


  • Devils advocate.

    The library was built by the wealth of a nation which conquered widely, the space race was driven mainly by the cold war and to show that america could launch a payload wherever they wanted with complete accuracy and do it twelve times without substantial financial trouble, the global supply chain is bathed in blood and the luxeries it provides are at the expense of others. That last one’s not really devils advocate the reason you can get bananas is due to some horrific shit. Same with cocoa, coffee, and many electronic components.

    Though yeah legit though violance hasn’t always been the historic answer.

    Also, it really didn’t have to be where it was. We could have much of this without bpoodshed it’s just easier for those in power to do so with the violence. It keeps them in power
