Well, I guess I'll say yes since I do that since like around 2,5 years (I started to use Manjaro in August 2017).
Is Manjaro stable enough for everyday usage? If you want a system that will always outlast the hardware it is installed on, just use Debian Stable, that OS is unbreakable (unless you break it intentionally, of course). So, given how rarely that happens, it's not really an issue, in my opinion.
#Stability manjaro vs arch linux install
It takes about half an hour to install Manjaro and, let's say, an hour to restore all your files. If you have a good backup, the worst thing with Manjaro that can happen, apart from a hardware failure, is that you'll have to reinstall Manjaro. So, if you want to be safe, you must have all your important files backed up. Eventually, all hardware will break, too, especially HDDs. So, I would say that Manjaro is very stable, at least as stable as Arch.ĭoes that mean that things will never break? No, they will certainly break.
Same thing, haven't had any major issues. I also used Manjaro on my desktop for about 4 months, before switching to Arch, simply because I wanted to learn more about Linux (and a good way to do that is to be forced to do things manually). On my laptop, I installed Manjaro only once, about 5-6 months ago, I haven't had any issues I couldn't resolve in about 10 minutes. For sure you will find a better one, but I think the idea is good and we add a more prestige to our distro. This an example that came to time to me right now, without deep thought. Potentially dangerous to break system etc Rank for new features gets low priority, low risk or high risk, as most likely will have bugs, d. Rank for packages with security fixes gets high priority and are safe to user update to, or even to auto update even if manual update is selected, b. As an idea of mine, (sure Manjaro will find an even better of mine) maybe its time to introduce a priority-risk rank updating system like Mint's or other distros have? For example: a.
#Stability manjaro vs arch linux how to
So the manjaro distro is second-first distro for long time and new users (linux and even windows users) comes everyday with more to none knowledge how to troubleshooting when thinks breaks. I think posts of and gives a complete answer to question.
