true but I believe we should avoid updates that can cause issues like this even if it is a small inconvenience especially when it comes to the new users or at least push out an update that resolves the conflict to stop it from being a wave of affected users. That said thank you for the replies and help

As have been said before, numerously:

This is a rolling-release distribution, which has never been and never will be set-and-forget. The user would always need to maintain their system, which means you need to roll up your sleeves and do things, they won’t be done for you.

All respect to them, but this isn’t Ubuntu or Windows where everything is done fore you. Neither is it LFS where you need to do every.friggin.thing. But it needs hands-on, manual intervention.

An I think this is where Manjaro provides a beautiful, awesome half-way.

This might explain it better:

[Consideration] Is Manjaro the right distribution for you?

Manjaro is NOT suitable for absolute beginners No, it’s not. And we — as the helpful community members of this forum — regularly have to explain this to the newcomers. Or at least, if we get the chance, because it is not exactly unheard of that a vocal newbie throws it out there themselves in a fit of frustration — if not arrogance or entitlement, because there’s a lot of that going round as well. So why is Manjaro not a distribution for absolute beginners? 1. Manjaro is a rolling-release d…

I totally agree but just because it is a rolling release that doesn’t mean we can’t fix or improve I mean look how good rolling release distros have gotten compared to the early days where they used to be pretty unstable and I do think it is a beautiful half way especially with the half way of being bleeding edge yet easier to use and more powerful with more powerful tools that come with the distro compared to Ubuntu for example which got left behind in leading “ease of use” it used to have back in the day.

This is why I move so many people to Manjaro because of how awesome the distro is, everything it can do, it’s complex yet ease of use for new users middle ground and more. I am not trying to talk negatively about Manjaro in any way I just love the distro and want to help make it better and always push it forward to always improve any way it can if you get what I mean

I do yes. Although your lack of punctuation didn’t make it easy. Please start typing properly. We can’t see your face or hear your voice, so all we have to go on is your punctuation and not using any makes it extremelly hard i mean if it’s not necessary it wouldnt bee in books right

Edit:

And my point was that since you admit you don’t read the Announcements you are on your own. In the beginning I didn’t either. However, that soon (about 3 months in) stopped, when I ran into trouble.

So it’s on you if you want to be stubborn and continue the way you do, or if you want to learn, adapt, and go forward.

I believe we should avoid

If you believe you have valuable feedback - I would agree - if you were using unstable or testing branch, thus you could have provided this feedback earlier.

Instead you are lurking in the background … then popping a comment I believe we should avoid.

Please use the testing branch - that way you can provide more timely feedback to catch such small annoyances.

This really helped me a lot. Thank you.
