  • Can you tell me what you think these guarantees are?

  • Have they really been 'blacklisted', or are they just unable to get certain procedures done?

  • I think it's because people view hormonal treatment and sex changes as different than treatment for disease or injury.

    They probably view it more as cosmetic treatment, like plastic surgery.

  • Free market gave us: lead pipes, lead paint, leaded gasoline, asbestos, PFCs (forever chemicals) in water, chat for the kids to play on (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chat_(mining)), and countless (literally) other grievances all so people richer than us could be even richer.

    What's not to like?

  • It’s like a child standing on train tracks with a train speeding toward them and the child expressing that they’d like to get out of the way while people telling them “No! You’re not old enough to make that decision!”

    Awful analogy, even if your point is sound. We should focus on the topic at hand, instead of trying to pivot to literal life-or-death analogies. It's a tactic people use to derail discussion instead of engage in it. Now instead of focusing on the topic at hand, we need to focus on how accurate your analogy is. It's more fruitful to just leave the analogy at home and try to have your relevant arguments stand on their own.

    Lots of people on these forums will disagree, though.

  • Treating them with/for what?

  • That's a really good point. I assumed it was a specialty drink where you have to pay for refills.

    I can easily see people going overboard with this if it's just a fountain drink like the rest of them.

  • This is the truth. I'm glad more people are starting to realize it.

  • None of the complaints people have about Manjaro affect me.

    Been using Manjaro exclusively for 3 years.

  • That stuff is negligible compared to Mint getting hacked and hosting a malicious ISO.

    But for some reason you never hear people mention that about Mint 🤷

  • I just wanna point out, people were using this exact same rhetoric when Antergos was a thing.

    Antergos is no longer a thing. Just saying. Manjaro still is though! I believe it's older than endeavor OS.

  • there is zero need to test outside of them.

    Then how do you explain Arch users have to deal with breakages Manjaro users do not because the Manjaro team doesn't push updates as quickly?

  • Yeah. Notice how he doesn't mention how Manjaro holding back packages can actually prevent breakage that Arch users have to deal with.

    The manjaro hate-boner is just tribalism and elitism. Every one of these threads reinforces that.

  • This, if your use the AUR with Manjaro, your system will break.

    Been using Manjaro with the AUR for 3 years, never had the breakage you described.

  • Been using it exclusively for 3 years, never had breakage.

  • It’s not all “purists” and “tribalism”

    I disagree.

  • Don't listen to people like this.

    Installing arch is a pain in the ass and the vast majority of people should not go through with it. If you like to tinker, go with arch. If you want a machine that just works out of the box, go with Manjaro.

    If you don't believe me, see for yourself. Don't just believe people on the internet at face-value. Most of them are just regurgitating things they don't understand in order to fit in.

  • Why “risk” it?

    People were saying this back when it was Antergos vs. Manjaro. You know what? I used Antergos and it shut the fuck down. Manjaro is still going strong. I'm still using Manjaro.

    I think the bigger risk would be to use endeavor os, even if more people like to shill it (like you predictably did.)

    But experience speaks for itself. Who cares what a bunch of losers on the internet say if your experience is different?
