We're clearly using different meanings for the word stable. You're using it for "stays the same" and I'm using it for "doesn't crash". Using the former definition, Manjaro, Tumbleweed, Gentoo, Funtoo, etc will never be "stable" distributions because they use the latter definition. Different goals means a different form of and meaning to stability.
Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostWhat Manjaro offers over Arch is a lot of supported desktop configurations and kernels without needing the user to have to resort to the AUR and go all DIY with an easy-to-use (it could be better) installer, integrated Nvidia proprietary driver installation, graphical upgrade tools for both GTK and QT based desktops, wrappers around Arch tools to make systems management easier (like their wrapper around pacman-mirrors), etc. That's like asking what Ubuntu offers over Debian or Mint over Ubuntu -- noob helpers for the most part.
Do you not think Arch doesn't ship with those wrappers for a reason? You have yet to give a benefit of Manjaro over Arch other than removing what makes Arch, well Arch.
Originally posted by skeevy420 View PostTo comment on both the kernel choices and your response to Linuxxx, some kernel optimization choices have to be made at compile time because there isn't an interface to do that optimization afterwards, real-time and low-latency both fall into that category, and I'd rather the distribution supply and support alternative kernel choices versus expecting an end user to compile a kernel for a specific optimization themselves.
They also allow for update breathing room and long term stability/safety. Like with Linux 5.3, I was having odd issues up until 5.3.6, having the choices of 5.2.* and 4.19.* was nice to have available since it took a few releases for mainline to stabilize on my system and setup. For someone else, they might be having issues with kernels past 4.17 or 4.12 so Manjaro supporting 4.14.* and 4.9.* LTS kernel releases helps people with odd hardware that quit working or started acting funny for whatever reasons. 4.18, for example, ran like crap on my system 4.19 and 4.17, OTOH, were solid. Manjaro providing what I use as LTS backup kernels is awesome.Last edited by Britoid; 01 November 2019, 04:24 AM.

So, what I notice in those benchmarks is that F31 isn't notably slower than F30+updates, and is quicker in a few places — but both are slower than unpatched F30. So there may indeed be a regression, but it was in one of the F30 updates, not new in F31...

The reason why web browsers are so slow is because of all the tracking scripts that get run.
Not that I'm suggesting anything to do with Fedora...

my bet is SYSTEMD at fault, there packing so much CRAP into that which slows it down,
