From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In the worst case, you go to a forum of Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro and
If you get punished, more often than not it is deserved because the helpers don't want to waste their time if help requester doesn't cooperate. Meanwhile OP, are you the creator of the video?
I'd disagree about that being the worst case scenario.
When I used to use Arch and asked a question on the Arch forum, they removed my post because they saw I was using Pamac so they assumed I was actually on Manjaro. They didn't ask me if I'm using Manjaro or anything, they just assumed I was and removed it.
I reposted the question and clarified that I was using Arch, but that got removed again due to it being a duplicate of a removed question.
I made a meta post about what I should be doing in order to not get my posts removed and that got removed as well, though I don't remember the reason they gave for that.
That was the last time I posted on the Arch forum and shortly after, I switched to Void Linux.
Sorry to hear that. Any sort of AUR helper, which includes Pamac, is not supported. If your question was related to Pamac, that may be why your post got removed. If you ever use Arch or a derivate again, try hitting EndeavourOS forums this time. They don't care which derivative you use as long as it isn't Manjaro. My points apply to present, I assume Arch became infamous when this was a more serious issue in the past.
Issue was not Pamac related, if it was then I'd have understood. They just saw that I had Pamac on my system and shut down my posts.
What's the problem with Manjaro? I like it, but I keep seeing people hate Manjaro. Is there some reason I shouldn't be using it?
The concept of Manjaro is in my opinion perfect, because in theory it allows to enjoy the latest and greatest software while minimizing bugs. But the execution has so many flaws.
