Why are distro communities turning linux more and more into Windows and Mac OS clones?

This is why I use Arch.

    Oh, you can vote whether it should be opt-in or opt-out.
    Oh, voting requires “Trust level 1”.

    Anyway, I may stop donating to Manjaro due to this. Now I just go with Arch anyway. archinstall even makes it quick to setup a VM.

      I’ve found that some people use Linux just to be apart of the “cool tech kids” on the internet. They don’t understand how to use a CLI, what kernel level access is, what a kernel is, or even how Linux actually works as opposed to Windows/Mac.

      I think Manjaro was made for them. It’s like the MLM version of a Linux distro.

        This is a “cool tech kid” opinion. Linux is for EVERYONE. Let’s not gatekeep it. Having GUI tools and stuff that is so easy to use that tech-illiterate people can use Linux is a great thing.

    Oh boy looks like my weekend will be spend learning and trying to install Arch without a graphical installer. To be fair Manjaro on my laptop was my first try at Arch. I never thought how much I will come to like AUR.

    EndevaourOS is already on my gaming rig so plain Arch for my laptop seems like a good challenge. Farewell Manjaro, I learned a lot

      the archinstall script is officially supported and very straightforward. like, almost Calamares-but-in-TUI straightforward.
