    I remember using manjaro vanilla and breaking it in a single month of use.

    No aur enabled, no nothing - it just broke, it wasn’t even funny

      Wherever people say “Manjaro just broke” it’s good odds they tried to use it like an Arch install. Installing drivers “the Arch way”, pointing the repos at Arch, using bleeding edge kernel versions etc.

      It may be Arch but it’s been set up in a certain way and if you mess with it it won’t work. Not messing with it is the whole point of the distro.

      It does have a wiki and forums etc. so I feel that if people read a bit before doing stuff we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

        The funny thing is that i did none of that, the hardware i was using didn’t need additional drivers and i didn’t add any extra repos.

        Perhaps i did something wrong, or autoupdates were interrupted but i don’t remember doing anything extraordinary with the install.
