The fact that the favorite OS of the tech conservative is an Arch based distro and and a Debian based distro instead of pure Arch or Debian makes this meme inaccurate.

Tails is also total ass as a daily driver. I know, I did it for a long time before the lack of persistence was such a pain I had to give in. Like, you can save in your data partition, but having to install/configure everything on each boot sucks, and if you made the system partition writable it would defeat the point of Tails.

I don’t think Tails, backtrack, kali, and similar distros were ever intended to be daily drivers. I’ve only used them as live ISOs to leverage their very specific toolkits.

They weren’t. Or at least Tails wasn’t. I did it anyway.

What do you have against Manjaro? Ubuntu and Zorin I can maybe understand, but even they are great ‘gateway’ operating systems to ease the Linux transition (and much more secure than Windows/MacOS).

I would just use arch. Got nothing against Manjaro tho.

As someone who started out with Manjaro and used it for a bit over two years, it does its job alright. That said, Manjaro’s “let’s use Arch repos but delay them for two weeks” policy leads to compatibility issues with the AUR.
Also, they’ve repeatedly let their certificates expire (happened like 3 or 4 times, iirc) and there’s been some management controversy, especially surrounding Jonathon leaving.

If you want “Arch, but beginner friendly”, there’s better options than Manjaro, imho.

Endeavor works quite well, especially if you don’t install much from the aur and use flatpaks when possible. Quite stable, although my brother got bit by the grub boot bug in October :(

Lots of issues with Manjaro. I think Ubuntu is more stable than Manjaro but Snap packages and auto updates tend to be more awful. So everything is trash?

At least I can fix ubuntu and de-snap.
