AUR has never bitten me in the @55… and I have only a few Flatpaks (1 Game, Receiver) and I have to say it takes up a LOT of space on my 250 GiB SSD.
There are things I have installed via AUR which are just not available via flatpak, and while some may be available via Docker - I don’t use Docker and could do without the overhead.
That “someone” was me, and handelsregister.de is operated by the Ministry of Justice of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The data is maintained and verified by the relevant registry courts.
This is pretty much how I see it. It’s the Team’s issue, and while I’ll happily give moral support, I’m not going to sweat it. If there’s a fork, I’ll likely follow as I like the distro and the community here. For an autist with heavy capabilities in org and process planning in general, a mess like this is horrible to behold, and the more I hear about things and mess behind the scenes, the more I feel like wanting to come in with a flamethrower and build everything anew afterwards, but like I said, it’s the Team’s issue.
I agree. Though I don’t think a FOSS project would be focused, coordinated and fast enough to really react to opening markets barring exceptional circumstances. When opening markets come to the conciousness of a larger number of people, the best start has already gone and the early birds who’ve seen the signs are already there. I’m not saying it can’t be done, both getting into opening markets and competing with the early movers, but I’m yet to see a volunteer-based org that I would’ve felt/seen is capable of that.
Ofc, my knowledge of the insides of Manjaro’s orgs is limited. 
Yes. I have read that. I am not exactly familiar with the German system here but I believe if the manifesto involves internal legal changes like transferring assets or creating an e.V. etc, then representation authority alone may not be enough
So again while Roman or Phillip alone can legally represent the company, internal legal changes like asset transfers or founding an e.V. likely require shareholder approval especially if they affect the company’s assets or structure. So, both may need to agree not because of representation rules, but because of corporate governance and shareholder rights.
But please correct me if I’m totally wrong here.
I’m not a lawyer - i was more kidding a bit and a signature under a manifesto isn’t exactly a legal deal. Still one should recognize that Philip shared the company in a fair and even way which doesn’t fit to the my way or highway does it? But the whole thing is somewhat beyond my understanding in many ways. See Roman’s post as if he couldn’t reach Philip in any other way.
To be honest, I don’t know. As said, I’m not a big fan of Valve and for quite a while I mainly noticed their work for the effects on Linux gaming in general (both by their stuff like Proton as how their push made other commercial entities put in more effort). I kept gaming on my Manjaro setups until my old laptop broke, my desktop was aging, I was leaving the country needing a new device to use as PC and was sold at the format of handheld+TV by my Nintendo Switch. Then the Steam Deck came in, but if I’m honest I’m not mad at it. It’s pretty nice.
But I have to really appriciate the Arch + KDE combo, and the way you can map keyboard games to a controller. And the fact I can recommend it to random people and they won’t break it. I guess the immutable + flatpack thing works well there. Then nerds can unlock the immutable part and mess with it 
.
Same. The AUR isn’t an issue. It just requires
you to understand a bit more than a flatpack, but if you do there is no reason to fear it or have it break systems.
I’m all for “enable all the choices”. Not because we need to use everything, but because then everyone can use their favorite. Even if for some uncomprehensable reason your favorite is Snap 
.
I’m not a lawyer either.
Thing is yes he shared the company but apparently he holds all the keys for every resource. He does what he wants unfortunately. Despite all. 
And at least for the things the Manifest suggests, you need approval from both IMHO
Manjaro has an immutable release like that as well, albeit that it’s still in alpha stage right now. 
The official name we’ve eventually settled on is Manjaro Summit.
Back on topic. Phil replied to the main Manjaro 2.0 Manifest topic and it seems there is an agreement on moving forward 
You’re right of course regarding the shareholders. CEOs are merely managers, but the shareholders own the company. Roman could be only one CEO without any share in the GmbH (the small share in the KG is merely pro forma). Could be Philip owns a majority share in the GmbH. Anyway neither lawyers nor shares can maintain the distro. So the question marks remain 
From my experience it’s worth to use flatpaks when you use it for almost everything, then runtimes aren’t big deal. Plus, part of apps use the same runtime. In comparison, apps installed from repo over time have three versions of package, so it’s kinda you have 3 apps but use the newest one.
For me flatpak had similar size in comparison from what I had installed from repo (I’ve removed orphans), maybe flatpak was even a bit lighter. However, I didn’t notice significant changes in disk space. I use 500 GiB SSD.
One more thing I’ve noticed is sometimes apps from repo have more updates than flatpaks. I guess it’s patching thing for new library or something. I don’t know. But it’s only matter on Unstable branch.
When it comes to AUR, Arch community isn’t very welcoming for Manjaro users, so it’s better for new users to report issues on flathub (being welcomed instead of gtfo in Arch xD) than AUR itself.
PS:
I don’t even remember when last time I was using Flatseal.
I also do not user it ever, there is but one command most users would need to memorize. flatpak override --filesystem=/some/dir com.example.App, for Steam when adding extra disks mounted under /mnt.
Not just when it comes to the AUR. If you run Manjaro and you happen to mention that at the Arch forum, you will quickly be ostracized. 
That sounds painful.
You mean in the pacman cache? That’s easily dealt with. 
Someone mentioned even using a username and avatar that matches someone on here is enough … but I think I got away with it. 
(first posts were to help someone anyway, and I actually got backed-up by a few of the regulars 
)
But if you remove everything then you lose ability to downgrade, so you need to store 2 or 3 packages. For regular apps it’s pretty much whatever but when it goes to system and DE related packages it would be reckless.
Not necessarily. manjaro-downgrade can still help you in that regard.
Backupses my Precious…
I’ve read somewhere about it, but never used it. I’ve reinstalled system only because I’ve moved from Intel to AMD.
