This makes Manjaro again less attractive to me. They seem to work hard to become the new Canonical.

Originally posted by profoundWHALE View PostThe point is not whether or not Steam support was installed, but whether people were supportive of a distro working with valve to make sure steam works better with it.
The two things that really keep people from adopting Linux is Microsoft Office and games. Steam is helping with the fight against Microsoft's PC gaming domination, but when someone does the same with Office products people get upset. It's so dumb.

User friendly and rolling is an uncommon combination AFAIK (like debian unstable often just won't boot).

Sure, for more advanced word documents, there are some rendering issues, but it's perfectly capable even with those issues. If the user needs something better, than they can install it itself. This reminds me of their terrible choice of implementing that web-microsoft word shortcut into manjaro.

I tried freeoffice or the commercial trial several times before and the interface was just so buggy. Office document compatibility was also not that great in my experience. But now that I tried it again, it has very much improved. Even if it's closed source software, I'm glad to see more quality Office suits becoming available for Linux.

And I mean really using it. not just bundling applications that "work for me" in a specific Ubuntu LTS and break everywhere else (i.e. still relying 100% on system libs, sometimes even relying on default installed packages because they can't be arsed to add a dependency list to their package)?
