![]() ![]() I don’t think that such version of Manjaro would be popular. Manjaro is more stable than Arch, but creating even more stable Manjaro would mean less freedom. This is just like in life, extreme safety comes with A LOT OF LIMITATIONS, so safety is opposite to freedom. Take away AUR and you will get a castrated version that is less usable. ![]() The whole thing behind Manjaro is that it is Arch based, has access to AUR and is easy to install and more stable. ![]() Now the situation has changed but still, AUR is an extremely important feature, whether you use it or not, because there is a high chance you may want something from there at some point. I admit, that I started on Manjaro long before flatpacks, snaps or appimages were created and at that time, having Arch distro without AUR would be stupid. Trying to adjust the mentioned formats to Manjaro is beyond the average user’s knowledge. Many obscure drivers are available only via deb, rpm or by compilation. Flatpacks and snaps simply are not enough. Not only git packages, but also printer drivers are available in AUR, which makes it a necessity. I’m sure, I wouldn’t install it and there would be no point of installing it on any “grandpa computers”, just because there would be no drivers that are accessible only via AUR. I know, my comment was only meant for discussing that hypothetical Manjaro version. At this stage, is seems more a thought experiment, than much else. I wouldn’t use such a release but, no doubt, there are many who might prefer it. The possibility of blacklisting the AUR was in relation to a possible static Manjaro release, which was earlier mentioned and is not relevant to other Manjaro releases. ![]()
