    You're still using manjaro after all their drama? I jumped ship.

    zloubida explained it with the link well enough. More importantly for me, the package repository seemed to stop being maintained, because many of my packages had no updates for a significant amount of time (and they had been updated elsewhere when I checked).

    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.
