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!
I've been almost exclusively using that distro for a near decade and it's not bad on its own in my experience. Pamac is the best graphical package manager experience I've had as a user. Official, AUR and Flatpak packages all in one place. Manjaro's graphical kernel manager is also nice to have and saved my ass a couple times on my HP laptops that had less than desirable support. I'm definitely looking to move to something else, but it's always ended up being more of a hassle than it was worth. I'm moving in a couple weeks, so I'll use that as an excuse to try switching to EndeavourOS. 🤷♀️ But I personally have no bone to pick with Manjaro.
