Once you lay your hands on Pacman and AUR, you'll never look back :D

It's more like Harvest Moon FOMT plus Minecraft to me.

Quoting: liamdaweActually it was like this since it was first introduced. Mhwd and multiple kernels support was there on day one it released. But for the rest of the packages, we're still using the packages built by Arch Linux. It's just impossible for Manjaro to stop depending on Arch packages entirely because Manjaro is still done by a small number of people. But like I said before, Manjaro repository is growing bigger and bigger because a lot of popular packages on AUR are adopted, and the existance of community edition of Manjaro are getting bigger and bigger. For example deepin and pantheon are not supported by Arch Linux, but the Manjaro community edition made and maintain the PKGBUILD in the community repository. And also Manjaro has the OpenRC support for those who doesn't want systemd, which is not supported by Arch Linux. So now even if we're still using a lot of packages from Arch, but our repository is bigger than the repository of Arch Linux. But fact is fact, we're still based on Arch Linux no matter how big the differences between Arch and Manjaro as time goes by. :)Quoting: crazyg4merzSo essentially, Manjaro is technically a distro by itself now and will move even further away from being "another arch-like" in future?Quoting: liamdaweManjaro has packages developed for their own OS and you can see the packages on the Manjaro github here: https://github.com/manjaro/ [External Link]. So basically, packages from Arch are synced into Manjaro unstable repository daily without syncing the packages Manjaro built for itself. So basically those packages are the kernels (we support a lot of kernels for the users to choose), mhwd (manjaro hardware detection tool), drivers and the modules, steam, a lot of DE those are only available on AUR in Arch are adopted by Manjaro, a lot of popular packages are also adopted from AUR into packages community repo, themes and artworks, pamac and octopi for the package management, installer, etc. So the conclusion is Manjaro is slowly moving far from being Arch just like Linuxmint is moving from being Ubuntu. Btw I'm one of the linux rt kernel maintainer on Manjaro. :)Quoting: minjWell SteamOS is debian-based while Manjaro differs more from Arch than Ubuntu spins from Ubuntu. So your grouping seems a bit arbitrary, not that there's a way to both be precise and generic at the same time...So, it seems Manjaro actually uses it's own repositories if I'm researching it correctly, so technically it should be a distro by itself I think?

Quoting: kellerkindtIt will be a shame if it turns out to be a bad port or they just give up the project entirely and blame Linux for being a pain in the ass. I really need this game to work, a fan of Harvest Moon for a long time. :(Quoting: FredOI didn't know these guys do Linux & MAC ports - it looks like they have Sony console ports on their list?Following the discussion here https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/730794103999434752 [External Link] you seem to be right about this one being their first port... oh dear

Dota 2 and Adventure Capitalist most of the time, SR3 70% completed, SRGoTH hasn't been played yet, couple hours of Postal 2. Enjoyed them all, but I've been a Dota player since Dota 1 days so it's just hard to find time for other games although I've a lot of them in my library because I only have 3 hours a week to play games. You guys are lucky to have time :)
