I have an Orange Pi 5 Max. I don’t like the Linux distributions Orange Pi offers, but they do have an Arch version. Manjaro also has an ARM version, but it doesn’t work for me. If I replace the repositories in the Arch version with the Manjaro ARM repositories, would it work? Could I include the MABOX scripts there?

Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any major obstacles to running “Mabox scripts” on ARM, assuming all the software components are available.

On the other hand, due to the number of Mabox-specific solutions, it would require a significant amount of time and motivation.

I don’t own ARM hardware, so I’ve never seriously considered it.

Would replacing the Arch repositories with the Manjaro ones work? Or would something break?

I never touched any ARM distro. I have absolutely no idea. But I suspect it’s not that simple.
