I wonder what you will answer the question in the title.

This is probably longer than it needs to be but… So around late may/early june I got bored due to the pandemic and decided to check out Linux again. I had used linux many moons ago back when Mandrake 7 was in a box set you had to buy and I shelled out for a new modem so I could get a real hardware …

I meant the persistent USB . To see how it performs . It’s unstable , so it will be stable :smile: and I am From Manjaro

I had here the 20.0.3 in the live boot, I want to burn it on DVD for my wife’s computer, because with her computer no USB sticks want to boot. Manjaro takes a lot of work off your shoulders if you don’t want to be so busy with the system (like my wife). As a plan B it is still good …

[image] zoli62: Nowadays, I am increasingly confronted with how many new packages are being withheld at Manjaro from the stable repo for up to weeks due to proper testing. An example is Firefox. So far this has not occurred to me. The EOS is much fresher, but still just as stable. Regardless, Ma…

You also have a nice story with Linux, you can have a lot of experience. :slight_smile:

[image] sawdoctor: It’s very easy to switch branches on manjaro, i think there unstable is almost inline with EOS I haven’t taken a risk so far, but seeing my positive experience with the reliability of the EOS, I might switch to the unstable branch of Manjaro.

If I had to reinstall EOs now, let’s say the image is already several months old, then already after the installation many updates are due. What about stability then? How often are new and current images delivered at EOS?

If you installed now and then did a full update, it would be the same as if you had installed the day the ISO file came out and updated all along (minus the programs you added along the way that aren’t part of the base install), it’s just all happening in one big shot. If the latest update broke som…

What do former Manjaro users like about EOS?
