(No provocation)
I see these reasons:
- newbie
- lazy (don’t wanna edit config files etc.)
- unique features (like assistant/toolbox, some optimizations like in cachyos)
- wanna check how different systems are set up (that’s rather distrohopping)
Personally, I used manjaro i3 when I was beigginer and wanted to see how tiling WM should be configured (check out ranger config, for example). But after some time, I don’t see reasons why not to just customize pure arch (same with debian and debian-based distros).
I imagine a non-US QWERTY keyboard would be a boss battle, it would require just being absolutely locked in and ready to install Arch. Sadly, that day I really wasn’t locked in on my US Keyboard…
Yea sometimes I like my stubbornness, but I’m not sure it was this one 🙃
LOL I mean situationally, stubbornness is a boon and a bane wrapped in one! I’m glad you succeeded, but, the cost was likely fairly high in the moment after that success. I would’ve loved to have succeeded because I could truly say, “I use Arch, BTW.” Right now, I say, “I use Garuda with Batteries Included, BTW.” Not as catchy.
