Manjaro 2.0 Synopsis This document covers the organizational, technical, management, and other changes we (the Manjaro Team, et al) like to see applied to the Manjaro Project.

I have a dream, that one day people will stop making arch derivatives that fragment the user space even more
Why should arch be any different - how many distros are there based on Debian (or Ubuntu, which is based on Debian)?
Are any commonly used desktop distros debian based besides Ubuntu ? Ubuntu derivatives are not as they follow the latest upstream packages 1:1 usually iirc. Monjaro has its own dependency update schedule so it creates a new userspace dependency set to build against. If 10 distros follow the same thing we have 10 different timestamps of arch you have to build against.
Maybe my info is out of date, I just use arch & fedora.
at least most of them do the healthy thing and just slap on a desktop theme and call it a day
thankfully so
Welcome to Linux town, man. Debian’s been bloody flogged into a million distros, but it’s OK. Arch will be too.
Soon we will have forks of arch forks and each one will have a completely different set of dependencies depending on when the owners decide to freeze the package. Then someone will use it and wonder why theirs so many bugs
