Great question. There are more reasons, such as the bandwagon mentality among these forums. I'm not going to list them all, and I'm going to block you but I'll leave you with this.
Linux Mint was literally hacked and served malware on their website. Manjaro has had nothing near an issue like that, yet we constantly hear people shit on it. You don't see people mention Linux Mint being hacked every chance they get.
You can't think for yourself. It bothers you when people make decisions for themselves. I don't believe most of what you say and you're just here to shill your own, niche distro.
Goodbye. Easy block. I hope everyone reading this can realize how asinine this community has become and make pragmatic decisions for themselves!
Because it happened once and they dealt with the issue, manjaro... has never dealt with any of their problems with any seriousness.
No, I just think that people shouldn't be recommending obviously bad things for new users. New users should be presented with evidence of why something might be good or bad, as long as that evidence is verifiably true... most importantly, they should be given things that will actually be easy. Which is why I recommended bazzite.
Literally everything I said is a verifiable fact except that i service 5 people.
Dude this only makes you look asinine. Did you really post to a public forum with a poorly thought out bad opinion and no evidence and expect everyone to rally behind you as a pragmatist?
Why is that an easy block? The user you responded to was cordial, laid out his reasons and even provided some sources to corroborate. What exactly did he do wrong in your mind?
You can join him. I've been on these forums long enough to recognize a shill/tool when I see them.
When you have more life experience, hopefully you'll understand.
I'm close to 40 but help me out then.
What did you see that made you think he was a shill/tool? All I see is someone explaining why they don't think a specific distro is good for beginners.
