Manjaro

I recently installed Manjaro 18.0.2 LTS. And decided to apply the reported 700+ MB of updates. I’ve said before that Manjaro is a distribution I really want to like. But just like in the past, updates killed it. Then I remembered a Chris Titus YouTube video where he talks about this very problem. I was literally doing what he warned not to do as I was watching the video. And sure enough it got hosed! However I first clonezilled it, which enabled me to recover quickly. The solution? Don’t use their stupid GUI updater. Simply open a terminal and type sudo pacman -Syu. This has been a long time problem. Why don’t they remove this package from the KDE spin? Why whammy…why? Manjaro…Manjaro…Manjaro is good enough for me : )
