Jim would you feedback your experience please.

I've been using tumbleweed (a bad idea, when I opined that in the forums I got "and you farted in front of the queen" type responses) my last update broke mythweb, this one renders mythtv not-working and un-killable (not to mention trying to build drivers (needing 'kernel build"). for Snapshot 20221229)

[seagull] /home/jam [2012]% ps -ef |grep myth
jam 13352 1 0 20:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 -v record
jam 13646 1 0 20:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 -v record
jam 13742 13488 0 20:36 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto myth
[seagull] /home/jam [2013]% kill -9 13352
[seagull] /home/jam [2014]% kill -9 13646
[seagull] /home/jam [2015]% ps -ef |grep myth
jam 13352 1 0 20:12 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 -v record
jam 13646 1 0 20:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mythbackend --syslog local7 -v record
jam 13749 13488 0 20:36 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto myth
[seagull] /home/jam [2016]% sudo reboot

So I'm toying with the ideo of manjaro
Ansible has sections for arch.

When I use MythTV on an Archlinux type linux I usually use EndeavourOS
because they don't maintain repositories for all the main stuff that Arch
includes. When I installed I had luck using the AUR for mythtv and mythweb,
but for Master you have to build from source.

I did an install article on the Mythtv Forum for Mythtv on EOS but that
still works for Raspberry PI or X86_64 with some editing. I include
building from source and setting up the backend including mythweb.

LMK if that is not what you need for any arch linux install.
