First time?

jdk-openjdk vs jre-openjdk? archlinux.org mentions it, although the workaround it provides is fake news and also results in pacman complaining about conflicts.

I just removed stuff, abused pacman --nodeps and prayed that my backups would be sufficient to restore my inevitable fuckup (no fuckup happened, somehow). Try that at your own risk though...

    I think I’ll just switch to something more user-friendly again. When I installed Manjaro, I thought I liked tinkering. But since then I’ve started working and just want to get home to a functioning computer.

    I appreciate the effort, though.

    Manjaro nowadays has become a hassle. It used to be really solid around 5-6 years ago. I had it for 3+ years. Then it started breaking a lot. I switched to EndeavourOS 1.5 years ago, been solid since. The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.

    What’s driving me away is that I have to deal with it at all. The command just fails and leaves you to google the solution. That’s annoying and unnecessary.

    I know now that Manjaro isn’t the OS for me if I’m not willing to do that.

    It says to use pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk to automatically remove jre-openjdk, which didn't happen

    I don't want the easy life, if I wanted the easy life I would have bought a macbook for programming and kept Windows with default settings for gaming.

    Besides, Kubuntu was my first AND third distro.

    ... and I have no self respect whatsoever. Nor pride.
