(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).
When I was younger, I’d be all over that stuff, and it’s great to hear people still do this.
Now? I’m too tired after fixing broken IT shit at work all day, man, I just want to get home, press the power button, watch some funny videos and play some games.
Garuda gives me that experience from the moment of installation to OS maintenance.
I hear that, and I feel that. I completely understand. I’m glad you’ve found something that works well. 😊
