Thank you very much for your throughout and explanatory response !!! <3 I also read all the comments and I know what I will be doing !
While I did like the well build defaults, I didn’t liked how they added their logo on boot up, even if it has nothing to do with logoFAIL exploit, It felt wrong (or does every distro does that?). Also the fact they added their own bookmarks in my freshly installed Firefox left me a bit skeptical… :/
There’s probably nothing to be alarmed off but That doesn’t feel right… If they do that, what else could they add hidden in the distro normal people can’t see ?
If I may ask, do you have any good distro you would recommend? Something as bare bone as possible, as good as debian but a bit more up to date. I do not fear some tinkering with a new distro but Arch is a bit to much of a hassle right now… That’s why I chose Manjaro.
My second pick was EndeavourOS as daily drive, but the community is small compared to manjaro and it’s relatively new in the game. Any thoughts?
Thank you !!
Thank you :) EndeavourOS was my second pick !
I picked manjaro because their user base is bigger and Manjaro is older. I will probably switch to EndeavourOS for all the reasons mentionted here and there in the comments. There seems to be a common strange atmosphere arround manjaro.
Also, because that logo thing on boot made me this post, this means I already felt something is odd with Manjaro. Always follow your guts !
Ps: Didn’t though it’s that much of a heated subject. It’s a bit sad, I really liked manjaro’s default and looks amazing.
