It is precisely Arch for the lazy! In some circumstances that’s a negative, others a benefit.
I think as with most things, Manjaro does have a niche. I like Arch for a whole load of reasons and I’ve previously used it for years (although I’ve now moved to NixOS ).
But the company I work for has a great policy of letting people use whatever OS they want. I normally go with Manjaro because it’s “Archy” enough to satisfy me but it’s much easier & faster to install fresh - which matters if you get a new work laptop every year and want to get started quickly.


This looks great. I wouldn’t typically go for turkey bacon but honestly, if I saw this at my local butcher and they’d made it by hand, you bet I’d be taking some home.
And inb4 “why don’t you just eat real bacon”: I don’t typically eat pork because in the UK, pigs are typically very intensively farmed (in e.g. farrowing crates) and slaughtered inhumanely (using CO2 suffocation). Unless you have a good butcher you can trust with a traceable supply chain and who uses a less inhumane abattoir, it’s very hard to get pork that’s not had a truly horrible life.
Poultry / fowl generally have a less bad life in the UK if (big “if”) you get them from a good butcher. We still intensively farm birds but it’s quite a bit easier to get higher welfare fowl from supermarkets or butchers. That’s not to say that all fowl is “ethical”, but it’s easier to do so, in my experience.
