The fate of Manjaro ARM Unstable

For those switching to EndeavourOS.

Can you tell me what they put in /etc/fstab, in /etc/environment, .bash_profile, .bashrc.
The size of the boot partition and if it’s FAT 16 or 32 formatting.
cmdline.txt and config.txt.

Personally, if I switch, it will be to Arch, so I might as well go straight to the source, and honestly, it’s not that complicated. For example, for Gnome, you can do pacman -S gnome networkmanager and then launch the gdm and networkmanager services. That’s the end of the basic configuration.

fstab had the boot partition only. i also added the root partition when i migrated to my SSD.

environment is basically blank.

bash_profile has this line only

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

bashrc has:

[[ $- != i ]] && return

alias ls=‘ls --color=auto’
alias grep=‘grep --color=auto’
PS1='[\u@\h \W]$ ’

I don’t remember the size of the original boot partition, i made it 512mb and fat32. It works.

In the original config.txt, bluetooth was disabled. Endevour comes bluetooth disabled by default (for security reasons they say)

Maybe you or someone else could synchronize the packages from time to time, for example, once a month?

I installed Manjaro on my Pi 5 using this image a while ago. It would always get regular updates over many months, but now not a single package has been updated since August. Is it dead?
