What do former Manjaro users like about EOS?

Ok, I promise not to bring it up besides this one timeā€¦I am not a belligerent person and generally fairly amicable, but I think I managed to get that thread closed down. It was a very unpleasant series of interactions, which ended up with me being accused of being nosy (or something) because I indicated I was not sure what a particular voluntary team memberā€™s main line of work had to do with the topic at handā€¦after they themselves linked to their work social media account trying to make some point. He somehow interpreted my comment as wanting to know the EXACT links between these two pursuits, as if I was some sort of taxman.

It really seems like you cannot under any circumstances give slightly critical feedback on those forums anymore, lest you get tackled by a fired-up forum bouncer. Iā€™m not even an ā€˜ex-Manjaroā€™ user there to put the project down. It has served me well enough for 3-4 years and I donā€™t want to switch, I donā€™t have the time or patience. But after that I am 90% convinced to leave and not look back.

I agree. The ā€˜vibesā€™ have changed. I just about of all of my info, then I will install EOS.

I would just add that, as a founding forum member, I can say that this forum has always been as friendly as you see it now.

The simplicity.
I use i3 and even with the Manjaro Community edition it came pre-packed with lots of ā€œwe know whatā€™s best for you luggageā€ that you couldnā€™t remove. It was brilliant, but I was carrying 2 of everything.
Here I simply got Firefox, Thunar and some agricultural terminal. So I ripped them out, installed Brave, Ranger and ST and Iā€™m good to go.
Thatā€™s keeping it simple.
Looking forward to the adventure.

Yeah that was depressing, I read that thread. Iā€™m still running Manjaro on my kids laptop and that alone is pushing me to switch it to EnOS.

Manjaro Linux itself is a very good system. Even to this day, it runs on one of my laptops. Community is another thing. We need to give time to see in which direction it is evolving

No, the direction is realy clear a long time.
No fun, community is secondā€¦
Sorry, if we are not talking badly about other distros here, we should not talk about waiting and giving some more time.

I agree with you. Manjaro is on one of my partitions, and recently I use it more than EOS/Arch because of better Virtual Box support. I think Manjaroā€™s multiple staging branches strategy is indeed very valuable. It significantly reduces chances of breaking my workflow.

Thought Iā€™d come over as well. The hostility in that thread from certain team members was terrible. When you get told by Phil to go use another distro it doesnā€™t make you want to stay. Currently running endeavour in a VM and getting ready to nuke my main system for a switch over

Weā€™ll see what happens in a year.
