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.

Used Manjaro in the past, worst distros i've used. Wifi card detections, Screen display and kernel issues,. Re-installed it many times. Never had thoses problems with Arch, Debian, & Ubuntu
Zorin OS
No hate from me,but rather a simple question? Why use preconfigured distros instead of the original,always best, with archinstall script? You can even install pamac or whatever package installer tool manjaro uses.
Endavour OS
There was a lot of misinformation about manjaro regarding the "Aur DDOS" and their finances that people still repeat to this day.
The person maintaining the manjarno repo which was a very popular site where all the critism of manjaro was recently corrected all those mistakes and then later took the website down.
Mostly misdirected anger from two categories — Arch purists who balk at the notion of someone modding their beloved distro, and newbs who blame Manjaro for issues they create themselves and they would have on any Arch-based distro.

Real reason for the hate: The Linux community is overly focused on tribalism and has a console-wars mindset where what I'm using is obviously the best and everything else must be flawed and terrible. Manjaro is probably fine for most use cases.
...although I'd still suggest just using base Arch instead. :)
This is the truth. I'm glad more people are starting to realize it.
Linux is tribal for sure. But the Manjaro issues are real ( as a past user ).
None of the complaints people have about Manjaro affect me.
Been using Manjaro exclusively for 3 years.
