From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've seen a lot of people who quite dislike Manjaro, and I'm not really sure why. I'm myself am not a Manjaro user, but I did use it for quite a while and enjoyed my experienced, as it felt almost ready out of the box. I'm not here to judge, just wanted to hear the opinion of the community on the matter. Thanks!
Tough position for me on this. Manjaro is so far, the only distro that works 100% out of the box with my weird sorta-niche Thinkpad model.
I've tried 10+ other distros and they all have had various issues on that laptop except Manjaro, idk why.
I don't use it anymore simply because of all the problems the Manjaro team has had over the last several years. Other posters here have gone into much more detail on it.
Makes me sad though because I really liked my experience with it. Had it on the laptop for over 3 years and it was pretty much flawless that whole time. Every other distro I try has acted janky in some way or another.
