I use f2fs on ssd’s and ext4 on hdd’s

I don’t see the need for snapshots, I backup externally

It’s literally the worst distro, https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

Endeavoros is fundamentally better in every way, everything manjaro adds makes arch worse, and everything good they have comes from arch.

I use keyd for this.

For graphical installer - there are already plenty of these for arch that aren’t manjaro and don’t fuck up your system like manjaro does

As for package manager frontend… pamac is awful, just use octopi or any TUI.

There was no need to make a whole new distro for those two things, and those two things aren’t even well polished. They should’ve just made those tools for arch, and called it a day.

Manjaro 100%

Everything they add to arch makes arch worse. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch.

I use noto sans medium everywhere. (and the mono version for the terminal ofc)

You should read stirner.

I think the notion that humans are evil means you must be a conservative is laughable honestly. I’m a communist and I certainly don’t believe humans are naturally good or selfless in any way.

Hyprland or sway, anything wlroots based really, and I use alacritty.

It supports some, and you can force others to work with a bunch of hacky workarounds

This is a proper extension store announcement.

I installed Manjaro for many people and have thoroughly regretted it, using it was a battle and over time the install would for seemingly no reason break.

I no longer give people manjaro, endeavor is significantly better. Or the arch installer.

As someone who is a die-hard linux user who would never even consider using windows, I would never even consider a system76 over a framework, honestly.

Really, what it should come down to as an individual is that all of the x11 devs left to work on Wayland because x11 is unmaintainable.

Use Wayland if it works for you, if you find something that doesn’t work, go back to x11 and find the issue tracker and switch back if you care for the benefits later.

The benefits:

1. A better security model
2. More efficient rendering
3. Better animations
4. Better support for multi displays (mixed refresh rate/dpi)
5. HDR (soon)
6. Better color management (soon)

The only problems I have currently is sway doesn’t support single window capture and the XWayland clipboard isn’t great.

Unfortunately your effort might be better spent here:

You should really try a distro that’s actually up to date instead of ubuntu or debian, things are changing rapidly because of wayland, and you might not have a good experience on stable distros until the big transition is done.

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb is the environment variable you’re looking for, got that from https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/wayland#GUI_libraries

even better: post links to your IT help queries on lemmy to reddit.
