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.

Has this happened to you personally or are you just repeating something you've heard?
What package were you unable to install because of "version mismatch"?
I've had version mismatches before, it's why I stopped using Manjaro, and yes I mean it happened to me personally. I forget the specific package but I know it was a patched version of something in the graphical stack.
Same. It's what drove me away and took me a week of free time to get back up and running on Arch. Manjaro makes me sick now.
I'll admit, I've barely used Manjaro so I'm just repeating what I've heard. It still doesn't matter because Manjaro is still a rolling release and I don't want one of those anymore.
