Today i learned that manjaro has, in parts, german roots and is maintained by a german company. For that i, as a german myself, want to strongly apologize in the name of the german people!!

I like Manjaro! What’s wrong with it?
They have had their fair share of (sometimes easily avoidable) fuck-ups.
Stuff like:
Especially the SSL cert hurts. They cannot auto-renew their websites SSL cert (and didn’t seem to learn from their first mistake) and they want to maintain a linux distro?
Fair enough. I can play HalfLife Alyx on it, and that makes me happy.
What hardware and software do you use for this? I’ve been trying on and off for maybe a year trying to get an HP Reverb G2 working with envision/monado. My most recent struggles were with lining up build dependencies, like boost, cnmatrix, etc., which I chalked up to version incompatiblies between Manjaro/AUR.
I have a Lenovo Legion 7 laptop with an 2070 super Max Q. I play with a Quest 2 over Steam Play. It’s amazing.
Why don’t you just use SteamVR?
I can’t remember exactly what they were, but I had issues with getting the headset to work with only SteamVR. I’ll have to give it another go when I get time. It seems maybe standalone headsets like the Quest lineup fare much better than PCVR headsets on Linux. https://wiki.vronlinux.org/docs/hardware/
Interesting. They’ve made big headway with SteamVR with the Frame coming out.
Quest 2 is a solid headset, but imo you should be running it through a pihole to block Facebook telemetry, that thing sends a truly Astonishing amount of data to Facebook.
Fair enough
Another Manjaro user, there are dozens of us!
Unite!
Their SSL certs keep expiring and they have a weird package release schedule on a ~2wk delay from base Arch, which causes half of the AUR (or any custom pacman repos) to break in unpredictable ways due to out-of-sync packages.
