From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I found installing pamac and the enabling the arch user repository gives you most things that are debs, that of course involves using the cli to install pamac though

Manjaro has Pamac installed by default.

I wouldn't use manjaro with aur though, as it can fall a bit behind what most people posting aurs are building with

I haven't had any issues and I've been using it for 3 years.
