Many thanks for pointing out the differences between Archlinux and Manjaro FredBezies.
I’m as guilty as the rest of us, in not pointing out the differences between the two distros. Sometimes I ‘assume’ that the other party should know the difference between the two; and that comes to bite me in the ‘you know where’ every time. So I’m including a link to a Wikipedia page that shows a comparison between the distros that are linux based at the present time (including Endeavour). Hopefully that might further clear up the differences. The webpage probably does need updating (it is Wikipedia). So after this post, I’m going to sign up in the hope that I’ll be able to help them keep things up to date.
Understood. My comparisons are based on the news media. I still don’t understand the whole Brexit issue, but it looks like our friends in the UK are not enjoying the experience.
Apples, Pears and Oranges, never the twain shall meet . Been there, done that, must agree whole heartedley. Running both above mentioned as duo boot and prefer EndeavourOS. Why? Look at the forums. Manjaro is taking off in a new direction. Bugs in everything, putting too much into an install. I like the base of Arch, the build of Endeavour. IMHO
@FredBezies is this the correct forum for this? I respect you personal views, but not in a technical forum.
Edit: Although I just noticed that this is the lounge, but still …
I use both Manjaro and EndeavourOS and find them vastly different, but easy to move from one to the other if you are aware of the “Manjaro way” and its many modifications and helpers that are taken for granted. If I only had one, it would be EndeavourOS. If I had to recommend one or the other to a non-techie friend it might be the other way around. Still on the fence about that. Both forums are a pleasure and I even search the Manjaro forum in addition to Endeavour when diagnosing problems on Endeavour.
We do encourage to have non-EOS discussions also in the lounge, it keeps the community alive and it often opens discussion for our further development.
One of the biggest differences for me, I can get most any Arch based distro installed and working, except Manjaro. Thanks for the breakdown of other differences.
This how i see it also. I like Manjaro and i have had it installed triple boot with Windows 10, Antergos and Manjaro. I had used it along with Antergos until it closed down and then i migrated to Arch and then to EndeavourOS and then i installed only EndeavourOS. I think Manjaro has way too many ISO versions. When using both i always went to Antergos so it was natural to move over to EndeavourOS for me. Manjaro was always behind and i don’t consider it true rolling release or Arch but an Arch based distro. I also prefer the online installation for different desktops as opposed to downloading a different ISO. I do like Manjaro and didn’t have many issues with it. But, it isn’t true rolling release or true Arch but an Arch based distro in my view.
Yes i understand they are community releases but I’m just saying i prefer the online or net install as opposed to downloading another ISO. As you point out Arco has more and that is another reason i don’t prefer it either. Too much going on there. I just think true rolling release if it’s Arch should be out when Arch releases it with in a reasonable amount of time. I’m not putting any of them down as i like both but just prefer EndeavourOS for these reasons same reason i preferred Antergos. It was more inline with Arch. Besides why would we need to hold back anything. We have the bugman here.
actually using distro’s is also a kinda form as politics no right answer…
but only can tell is Ubuntu uses debian-unstable to make there base , but Manjaro uses arch-stable… the flow of water is pretty different, is like te water flows uphil from source… is kinda weird. For arch was probably better if its was based on arch-testing
