I'm in no way a Windows fan. Use manjaro for desktop, and ubuntu for servers as of now but keep trying new distros and love changing all the time, unfortunately. However, I dread to think if I was stuck on another planet with a linux distro without internet access to troubleshoot or find out how to do random things...

Drop manjaro l, start using endeavor, thank me later when your system doesnt randomly break on an update

Long-term Manjaro user, no issues.

Just don't mess with AUR unless you have to; it's a good practice to make snapshots as well.

Endeavor is no more stable, it's very much unfiltered Arch with all its issues of "oh, you didn't read an update note? Your bad". Arch had literally broken GRUB on updates in the past.

Used Manjaro in the past, probably the worst distro i've tried. Multiple screens issues, kernel issues, keyboard and mouse issues, and when i look at the forum thoses are commons on Manjaro

Interesting. Never experienced any of that personally. Might depend on hardware?

[–] Titou@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Maybe, but it mean Manjaro has serious Hardware compatibility issues with most.

And what would you do on that other planet without Internet and stuck with Microsoft Windows and no way to activate your OEM license ? At least Linux has nice manual pages to read in the main time off-line πŸ˜„

I believe you can simply leave it unregistered and it'll still work indefinitely. Plus you aren't getting updates forced down your throat, since you're not connected to the internet.
