From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well no one in there right mind should use Manjaro so that was mistake no. 1

Although shaming newcomers for their distro choice is not a welcoming move 💢

True, the blame is on those who recommend it

Why, what is the problem with Manjaro in respect to other distros and would imply someone is mentally impaired to use it?

TL;DR, ddosing AUR multiple times, poorly maintained certificates, and a generally bad take on Arch that causes lots of problems for the uninitiated.

People aren't mentally impaired because they use Manjaro. However, Manjaro is problematic as a distro and should be avoided if possible.

The recommendations seemed favorable when I tried it. I have since switched to Mint.

That's probably for the best. If Manjaro was a little more honest and straight forward I wouldn't have an issue. The problem is that they say they are kind ignorant of there mistakes.

Honestly they could ask for help and the community would step up.
