Today i learned that manjaro has, in parts, german roots and is maintained by a german company. For that i, as a german myself, want to strongly apologize in the name of the german people!!

I think as with most things, Manjaro does have a niche. I like Arch for a whole load of reasons and I’ve previously used it for years (although I’ve now moved to NixOS ).
But the company I work for has a great policy of letting people use whatever OS they want. I normally go with Manjaro because it’s “Archy” enough to satisfy me but it’s much easier & faster to install fresh - which matters if you get a new work laptop every year and want to get started quickly.
I like to call it “Arch for the lazy”.
It takes all sorts.
It is precisely Arch for the lazy! In some circumstances that’s a negative, others a benefit.
Arch now has archinstall. So the setup is pretty fast. And if you sync your dotfiles, and have a list of packages to install, you can setup in an hour or so
From someone who installed manjaro because I thought it’d be easier arch, but did not last more than a month
It’s niche is entirely served by EndeavorOS tho. And EndeavourOS knows how to set up a cron job to keep their ssl certificates up to date💀
You should really use endeavoros for this, manjaros team is wildly incompetent and does way too much (which is a problem since they can’t get the basics right)
