hello everyone
my name is manfred, i live in germany/bavaria and i am 41 years old.
i am an IT specialist in application development and have been using debian based linux since my first raspberrypi. i have always been a windows power user, but 4 years ago i switched to linux privately.
my first contact with manjaro was about 2 years ago and since one year i have switched to it completely and i am very happy with it.

Hi everyone, I’m Christian, located in southwest-germany and I work as an IT presales manager, but want to switch to web development in the medium term. Accordingly, I am well versed in JS, React and the typical web stack.
I have now switched completely to Linux, firstly to have a worry-free dev environment, and secondly to reduce a few dependencies on US tech. As good as possible.
I’ve read that Manjaro has had to put up with a lot of criticism in recent years, but I’m still happy to give it a chance, so far everything is running smoothly.

Welcome to the forum! 
We are aware of that, but I can assure you that most of said criticism is undeserved.
It is apparently easier for certain people to blame Manjaro when the real cause of the problem is located between the keyboard and the chair. We’re seeing it all the time.
Sadly enough, social media are rife with echo chambers these days.

There were some issues, but this is years ago.
I am with Manjaro for > 3 years overall and never had a single issue.

Me, neither. Manjaro works well on my hardware, with nary a issue.

Same here. I was a distro hopper and tried many other. But at the end i always returned to Manjaro

I can also only confirm that I feel comfortable with the system so far. And you said it, the net is full of questionable things. That’s why my social media expertise advised me to ignore the whole thing and give Manjaro a chance. A good decision so far.

I also confirm that, despite the many changes I’ve made, Manjaro does exactly what it’s supposed to.
Many thanks to those responsible.
