On the old forum, I loved the way that we had a category for topics that did not exactly fit in another category. We called this general discussion. This is where we discussed linux news, learned more about each other, and had some fun. Please bring it back
Oh wow, I just noticed that this is missing. Weāre also missing the Newbie Corner, Support for Community Editions, Showcase, Other Languages
Check out this topic
Ah okay. So maybe āSupport for Community Editionsā also just falls under that as well.
Now just Languages
Can go under Contributions
We decided that we want to focus more on support and all categories should be newbie friendly.
Under Desktop environments
Under General discussion
Iām assuming that means General discussion will be created? Thanks! And should problems With solutions that are not exactly tutorials go in support as well?
No, it already exists. I think it had a trust level requirement like in the previous forum, so it should be visible soon.
@codesardine Just closed my screenshots post under #contributions because screenshots are not a contribution and I agree. All this means is that the SHOWCASE
category should be brough back.
without an off topic category i am lost here
screenshots
off topic
Thereās always the unofficial Reddit, Telegram and Discord channels. This is a support forum, not a social network.
Yup. Then feel free to delete my account at any timeā¦
So you prefer this be support only and community building be elsewhere?
The team is still discussing the particulars and changes are being made daily. Of course we want community building while keeping it primarily a support forum.
There is a #general-discussion and #arm:general-arm-discussion area for users that have been around long enough to earn a higher trust level. This is just to keep the noise down a little.
In the process of creating the new forum, the team decided it was time for some changes as well. The community is what makes up the forum, so constructive criticism and feedback are welcome. If there is something that hasnāt already been addressed youād like to suggest, please open a new topic in #site-feedback.
That is the thing I love about this forum thank you and I look forward to the updates and decisions!
No reallyā¦ please delete my accountā¦ i can use arch for support only forumsā¦
Arch forums are for Arch only. If you donāt respect their rules, donāt expect to be around long.

These seem somewhat contradictory. Also given recent events seems rather out of touch to be removing the free discussion area.
@codesardine Just closed my screenshots post under #contributions because screenshots are not a contribution and I agree. All this means is that the
SHOWCASE
category should be brough back.
Yeah thatās some bull right there. The screenshot threads on the old forum were my favourite parts of it, and actually fostered community interaction.
Seems like this Manjaro āteamā arenāt interested in a community at all and basically want to turn this new forum into a big Q&A session.
Sod that.
Thereās always the unofficial Reddit, Telegram and Discord channels. This is a support forum, not a social network.
And an attitude like that from Manjaro staff is why a sense of community will likely never be resurrected after the forum ācrashā.
Iām disappointed, because the old Manjaro forum was a great place for chat and communal sharing of our desktops, setups, configs and experiences with Manjaro.
Apparently that sort of thing is not considered a ācontributionā nowadays.
Do you want to foster a ācommunityā like the official Arch forums? Because I sure as hell donāt.

We need Community Building, to get to know each other and build up trust levels and comradery.
