Is it possible to build a minimal image for my home server without gnome etc? Thank you!
I love Debian, but isn't testing frozen for some time before the release of the next stable? I think during the freeze you won't even get security updates.
Thank you for explaining and sharing your journey.
Regarding 1: A system not booting anymore really is a major issue. Maybe I was lucky to not have encountered that, maybe didn't happen because I use a custom kernel. Regarding the certs: Honestly I don't really care about the Manjaro website. The certs of the package repositories are important to me though.
Regarding 2: I'm using the AUR to install some third-party applications like "gpu-screen-recorder". If you use it for system packages it will cause problems, because the Manjaro repos are delayed on purpose. One would encounter the same problem when using Debian stable and installing system stuff from a PPA.
Can you elaborate what didn't work on Manjaro? Just curious, I've been using it on my gaming rig for over 5 years without problems.
Get a mainboard and CPU supporting ECC ram. Combine it with ZFS as the file system. With this setup you are safe from bitrot.
