1/2/2023 0 Comments Linux manjaro vs arch![]() ![]() On a fixed-point release distribution, security fixes are backported into your out-of-date software versions to maintain stability. Security fixes come with a new software release. That is still a lot quicker than a non-rolling release distribution I hear you say, but it ignores one of the fundamentals of a rolling release distribution. There is four weeks until Manjaro users get package updates. ![]() Then their test squad declares that stable enough to move to Manjaro Stable, about 3-4 weeks after the packages arrive in Arch Linux.Īnd this is the issue. They sit there for 1-2 weeks before being declared stable and moving to Manjaro Testing. The Arch stable repos are synced into Manjaro Unstable on a roughly daily basis. Also, the defensiveness of their community to any criticism and the amount of self congratulations for being a Manjaro user astounds me – and I spend a lot of time in the Arch forums and IRC channel where the community are widely considered to be elitist pricks (with me being no exception, as this post will plainly show).įor those who do not know how Manjaro works, I will paraphrase this post. I have no issue ranting about Manjaro because every time I read their forums I see one of their Core Team being less than congenial regarding Arch – but I suppose they have to be given one of the main selling points of their distribution is they can fix the Arch Linux updating “mess”. I have found what to rant about! Is it just me that notices the issue with that statement? ![]() Now I have been using Manjaro for a month and it is completely stable. I used Arch for two years and it was perfectly fine until one day when I updated and it broke my system. But after reading yet another post saying: I feel like having a rant today… so nothing particularly unusual there. ![]()
