WhatsApp-Chat-Exporter VS manjarno

Just in case you missed my other comment.

Not my repo.

Since you have the backup, this should be an option: https://github.com/KnugiHK/Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter

I did a fast search and found that, but I have not tried it yet and Idk if there are others. I do need to try it to archive my DB and start a new, smaller one. https://github.com/KnugiHK/Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter

The problem is that on an Android you can easily navigate through the files of the Phone and get the msgstore.db.crypt14 history file, which you can later convert to HTML or equivalent with many open source tools (like https://github.com/KnugiHK/Whatsapp-Chat-Exporter).

Manjaro downsides : list

Manjaro: just avoid it even if it is (apparently) newbie firendly.

Dude is a bot replying "Manjaro on x86 crashes and breaks alot". I would say Manjaro breaks a lot regardless of the architecture: https://manjarno.snorlax.sh/

windows: forces major updates to a new not yet ready major version windows: every app has a auto-launch and randomly updates in the background or is outdated windows: updates get stuck and happen right before meetings, etc windows: adds ads to your filemanager during updates and overall is more of a downgrade linux: i tell it t update when it fits me and dont even have to restart (ok its better to reboot after major updates, but i can also tell it to download&install everything and apply it during the next reboot) linux: if for some reason anything breaks i can just undo the update within grub/systemd-boot - meanwhile updating thunderbird killed one of my windows installations permanently manjaro: a burning shipwreck on all sides minimal-distros and other ones i wouldnt recommend for average users: updates require the terminal mint/pop/ubuntu/fedora: updates are neat little pop-ups and just offer it and work

Sets out to be an easy entry to Arch with sane defaults. It tries to achieve this by making the installation of Arch easy, adding GUI-tools to ease you into Linux, own repos with less bleeding-edge software and it ships a configured Btrfs+Timeshift for easy rollbacks to a working system. Unfortunately, the team behind Manjaro has some troubles...
