So technical question...
So technical question...
I have been using Linux for a few years, usually some flavor of Debian. But recently I acquired an older Thinkpad and thought it would behoove me to use something more... involved.
So I chose to dive into Manjaro and only broke pacman once. So now the question... can I say I'm using Arch btw or is that a faux pas?
You're viewing a single thread.
Also a pro tip: Use endeavourOS not manjaro, it's more stable
I feel my life is too stable. I need more excitement.
Don't update any arch based distro for long enough and your life will be plenty exciting when you do. Bonus points if you use a non-lts kernel that can blip out of existence at any moment along with all the graphics drivers
I learnt this the hard way when I worked out my shutdown script that did this automatically had stopped working :P
How long is to long? I've been running the same arch install for a few years and wondering if it supposed to be time for a reinstall?
*I also have backups of all my configs and read the arch news before updating so I'm not really that worried.
Are you not updating it regularly? They said, "Don't update for long enough..."
Arch is relatively unstable just by being rolling, but manjaro is another level of unstable lol. if wish to use it, im not gonna stop you, but I'd advise you not to rely on the computer you install it on.
