        I recently ran into a bug in the latest version of cmake that breaks it completely in my system, can’t compile shit and it just does a coredump.

        What is worse is that I can’t even report the bug because I can’t get the registration email from the cmake gitlab. I checked the manjaro repos and their cmake version is 2 versions older than the one that has the bug that left me thinking for a while lol.

        Tbh Manjaro has made my system unbootable before with a system update, base Arch has never done that for me. I think Manjaro is just poorly constructed, or maybe it’s bc of all the packages that come pre installed with it causing problems. Minimal installs ftw

      In this case the slower updates payed off. There are many things wrong with Manjaro but slower updates is not one of them.

          Well honestly holding packages is one of the only good things I hear

        It’s not though, because the malicious release happened more than two weeks ago and manjaro had to fast track the patched xs from arch git repo. This is why manjaro should extend their delayed update policy to catch this kind of issue in the future (maybe 2 months instead of 2 weeks) /s

          They honestly should as it probably would fix a lot of issues. Then again, Manjaro is so broken that it probably doesn’t matter
