    My package manager has 400+ updates, but I can’t install them because some packages are conflicting, and I don’t have the willpower to untangle that mess.

    I use arch btw. I use the arch-derivative Manjaro, btw.

      First time?

      jdk-openjdk vs jre-openjdk? archlinux.org mentions it, although the workaround it provides is fake news and also results in pacman complaining about conflicts.

      I just removed stuff, abused pacman --nodeps and prayed that my backups would be sufficient to restore my inevitable fuckup (no fuckup happened, somehow). Try that at your own risk though…

        I think I’ll just switch to something more user-friendly again. When I installed Manjaro, I thought I liked tinkering. But since then I’ve started working and just want to get home to a functioning computer.

        I appreciate the effort, though.

          Arch and Manjaro tend to have that effect on people, it’s understandable

          I feel this, Fedora filled the gap for me. I needed more current software, but if that isn’t a priority Debian is amazing.

          Manjaro nowadays has become a hassle. It used to be really solid around 5-6 years ago. I had it for 3+ years. Then it started breaking a lot. I switched to EndeavourOS 1.5 years ago, been solid since. The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.

            What’s driving me away is that I have to deal with it at all. The command just fails and leaves you to google the solution. That’s annoying and unnecessary.

            I know now that Manjaro isn’t the OS for me if I’m not willing to do that.

            If you like to tinker but still have some consistency, I’d suggest gentoo. It’s been really solid for the last 16 years for me.

          It says to use pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk to automatically remove jre-openjdk, which didn’t happen

              I’ve solved that problem days ago, I’m more afraid of XDG Portals than Arch Linux being Arch Linux

          I don’t want the easy life, if I wanted the easy life I would have bought a macbook for programming and kept Windows with default settings for gaming.

          Besides, Kubuntu was my first AND third distro.

          … and I have no self respect whatsoever. Nor pride.

      I ran into this on Manjaro today too. Definitely don’t have the capacity to sort it right now

          The issue probably depends heavily on the installed software and might surface for some while others don’t have it.

          It looks like it’s a bunch of conflicts with kde stuff

      Same - it is probably why I will change soon. Manjaro has been a bit too flaky I think. Still nice, but annoying with things like this.

        Join us in glorious GarudaLinux land. I swear they don’t pay me to shill this distro every other day.
