Pretty much the title. Where’s the hate towards Manjaro coming from? I was pretty much a Ubuntu/Fedora user for years but never got too technical. Used almost always gnome, but recently got interested in tiling wm and have done some searches and stumbled upon the Manjaro Sway edition and everything works quite well, but I keep seeing people bashing on Manjaro and I don’t know exactly why. So if I were to use sway in Arch or Arco (way friendlier to install) if there any simple way to replicate the makeup sway default configuration?

Thank you all for your time.

    Doing it yourself is fine as an educational exercise for newbies, but skilled linux users generally have better things to do than to do the setup by hand for the nth time. On the other hand the “vanilla”/bleeding-edge approach of Arch makes it one of the best bases for derivative distros available, so basing your distro on it is a no-brainer for many.

      Had this fine skilled linux user over there heard about archinstall scripts?

          It is but if you still want to have an “easy install” you might go with an archinstall script that usually happens to be “lighter” than a derivative distro

            Or just use a distro that sets everything up for you.

            Seems like anything is the solution except that in your mind, lol.

            Glad we have option 😎
