    I got caught by a kernel oops using Manjaro (kernel not loading and the default is having only one kernel to boot) and tried to install Void, but needed my laptop back and running quickly: void install was quick but setting wireless to work was going to take, possibly, too much time.

    I finally put my Manjaro disk back in and after making sure I have a trusted boot kernel installed as well as a newer one, I was up and running quickly.
    The kernel thing actually surprised me: it was my first problem with Manjaro.

    Back on topic, a bit: Debian is slower than Arch, so I'll stick with Manjaro, I guess, but I'll keep investigating systemd-less systems. Too little time, too few machines.

    I tried void but the live cd won't boot for me. After dicking around for a month I have finally settled at Manjaro which has been running flawlessly for me so far, though after changing jobs I sparsely use Linux. Manjaro is to me what Kubuntu could have been.

    Good to know about kernel issues, I will keep it in my mind. Any idea what caused it?

      The new kernel has some modules that aren't loading, though it's fixed now, I believe.

      Anywho, before you upgrade, make sure you have at least one known good kernel always installed before it upgrades you (so two kernels available). This should be the default, IMHO.
