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.

    but skilled linux users generally have better things to do than to do the setup by hand for the nth time.

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

      Thought Arch was all about DIY?

        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 😎

            You didn’t even get my point but had the audacity to write that second sentence :-/

              Your point was that users can use arch install scripts to automate some of the setup process.

              I countered by saying they could just use a distro that has an installer integrated directly into it.

              I also added that in your mind, there is no legitimate reason to use an arch derivative. This highlights your bias.

              What was I missing, exactly?
