@Zaiden Ignacio Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks for the video and info. I am new to Linux. Worked in IT for 20 years doing desktop support on Windows machines. I build my own computers and actually like working with Windows since I know it quite well. I have loaded some Linux distros in VirtualBox and the ones I am really liking right now are ArcoLinux and Manjaro XFCE. From what I've seen all the Linux distros I've looked at are quite good. Like always it boils down to personal preference. I have an older laptop that I just loaded with Manjaro XFCE. I want to see how it works on real hardware. TH-cam has been great for getting info and seeing how some things are done. Thanks again!
"Manjaro polishes and presents a really great version of the best options out there" - THIS. Manjaro is probably the best distribution when it comes to offering highly polished desktop environments across the board...
Manjaro is definitely my favourite distro so far -I've been running it for quite a while now. KDE Plasma, of course, is gorgeous -it's so adaptable, so powerful! But Pamac is the bee's knees -fantastic. The Manjaro repos, the AUR, AppImage, Flatpak, Snap -all available at a click, on an opt-in basis and clearly labelled. 10/10
If people keep complaining about Plasma being "busy" and the Plasma guys really hear those complaints, we'll end up with a GNOME Shell made in Qt. I certainly don't want that
If you're working on someone else's computer, I can appreciate why you'd prefer, say, XFCE or GNOME: anyone who's got comfortable on KDE Plasma is bound to have it so customised, it may take you a while to find your way around. I certainly have ;-).

I love KDE since I started with Mandriva in the old days and moved to OpenSUSE... but I got amused by Manjaro mainly because of their Gnome customization, it is exactly as you explain, you see out of the box some really good choices that make you feel really well with what you are using by default. If I need to chose any other distro to use on the KDE DE I will run into Manjaro at full speed
I'm running Manjaro KDE Plasma on this 14 year old Sony Vaio with an SSD and only 4 GB RAM and it runs flawlessly. I have the Sensual-Dark global theme currently and I love it. Wont be swapping anytime soon.
This! Felt in love with Gnome after several years of disrespect for it. Simple and easy to use. Helps me to stay focused. I really like the progress of KDE and the fact, it’s not longer that hungry. It’s so light, it even beats Gnome (you hungry beast). It’s just too much for me. All those settings. Guess that’s why Suse created that leash called yast (just kidding).

I am a long time Fedora user but I put Manjaro on my laptop a little while ago because I was constantly looking for something that was a bit closer to the latest software. Manjaro somewhat scratches that itch but their update cadence seems a lot slower than Fedora even though they have more current software. Another thing with Manjaro is that it's missing a firewall by default and doesn't have any rng daemon installed in the KDE version (I think in XFCE they have haveged installed and running by default) not sure if this is a 'choice' thing...but most people need some form of rng daemon in Linux to ensure they get enough entropy for cryptography and login functions.

But all this being said, I may end up on KDE neon or Kubuntu next on the laptop 😂
To update on this, I went to Kubuntu for a little bit, got bored, and ended up on Fedora 33 KDE (naturally) when that released. Fedora 33 has been a rock solid release, even in updates-testing. It's polished and tested well by the community (most of the time, with the caveat that some things aren't as popular necessarily so don't always get as many eyeballs). It is a fairly predictable cycle for me to end up on Fedora, it is my first choice and even when I get frustrated by something I always return after kicking the tyres on other distro's for a bit
I have been playing with Solus 4.2 for the last couple days. It has one of the most polished and professional looking desktop for the new user. It is one of the very rare desktops where you won't find any appearing as a sore thumb (visually). But yeah - since it is built from grounds up - the apps are very limited. But for a home user - there is more than enough.
I think you swayed me to Manjaro on this one. As long as Cinnamon and Budgie are on it I might use Manjaro. Was going to go Mint because I know it every DE I want to try .
KDE top tip 101, change the animation speeds to half, or less, than the default settings. I don't know why KDE devs aren't on this, because it gives a really bad first impression the DE is slow when it's about as far away from that as it gets. Runs on less juice than XFCE or Mate, but as advanced as you want it to be. I remember the bad old days when KDE 4.11 running on at least 2gig from cold boot, but 5.1* runs on less than a quarter of that...
I'll be honest, I switched from Mint to win10 cause Mint was getting less and less customisable as I used it... but saw papa Muta use and suggest Manjaro and 2 months in, I'm in love!
I didn't know about there was a "simple menu" until I seen your video. I must of overlooked it. Its much easier too navigate than the dashboard and launcher.
I really hate KDE (especially font rendering) and a part of my soul dies each time I use Octopi, but your speech about Linux, Manjaro freedom is so damn true. A trully nice video. I'm aware I'm no one, but, +1 sub.
Debian testing unstable mix with KDE Plasma is a good setup too. I suspect that would be very similar to Manjaro with KDE Plasma, but with more binaries, so you don't have to build packages which can take a very long time.
Manjaro settings were integrated with Plasma settings 5 years ago, so this is an old thing. Welcome app is named now Hello, not that it makes any difference, it's bad. Been using Manjaro KDE for over 5 years and I'm happy with it.
I just switched my Dell xps 15 9560 laptop to manjaro. I don't use it for gaming at all, so I didn't bother installing the nvidia drivers, integrated graphics can decode and encode hevc just fine, so I'm good so far :)
About the stability: I am using Manjaro xfce now for over one year on my private main PC and had almost no problems and definitely big crashes. As far as I can tell, if you don't do anything "unusual" or anything stupid, then Manjaro is stable. Maybe I have just been lucky so far. I am using Manjaro KDE now since a few month on some laptop and now also on my laptop at work, actually also because of the look of the windows and everything, the kind of gray and rectangular shapes. Somehow, I cannot take rounded corners and and big icons serious, I am always reminded of a gaming console. Thus for work - KDE! Theming: Oh yes, that green... I switched to breeze dark with blue accents ;) Anyways, the main reason I switched to Manjaro KDE for work, was the app situation - there is just no reason to deal with software in the terminal, everything from any source can be easily done with pamac. It really makes life simpler. So overall, I really just can recommend Manjaro, whatever DE, but especially KDE Manjaro to have a professional work machine.
I liked it and this was the second time I had tried it, but as with the first time, it started to go wrong wiht the first week. It stopped opening programmes was the main issue. A copy of Libra office simply disappeared one morning. Sadly I find it very 'nervous'. Back to Linux Mint, again, never let me down.
To start I'd like to say great video! well researched, well scripted, concise and well put together!. BUT! there is a misconception that Manjaro gives you choice. It does not. try to get integrated printer support without hp-utils (hplip), try to get ffmpeg without video for linux you can't. try to stop msm-notifier and pamac-tray launching at startup you can't try to remove any of them without braking your system and having to rebuild it from scratch. try use the breeze theme without having to install breeze-gtk first you can't. I am colour blind green and red breath theme looks awful to me and the way it is implemented breaks the breeze theme being constant across all apps including the few gtk apps that require to be run with elevated privileges like gparted and nvidia-settings. KDE 5.20 is a clusterfuck designed for windoze users to attract windows users and it is so messed up the devs need to start listening to their user base or leave the project . There are so many bugs in the latest build of kde 5.19 users are moving away from kde because both the manjaro and kde devs refuse to listen!. KDE partition manager has been known to brick drives if you try to use it to format a drive. terrible and broken google drive support. can't use only the meta (Windows) key to launch the start menu. Manjaro and KDE are a dogs breakfast at the moment unfortunately it is sad to say. I use Manjaro KDE it is still better and faster than any Ubuntu distros. BUT as I said Manjaro claiming that they give users the choice is completely false. you can't even get rid of all the bloat QT development apps that are locked into the system. I even offered a $1500 bounty to manjaro to get these things fixed they are such arrogant cocks they will not even have a constructive conversation about them. And don't ever bother to submit bug reports unless you are part of the zealots circle or it will get ignored deleted or you get told to learn to code and fix it yourself. this goes for both KDE and Manjaro. To All new users I use and prefer Manjaro KDE over all others but!!! Let this post be your only warning of how things really are. Do Not believe the propaganda!
@@theplaymakerno1 linux mint is really great in terms of stability wise I have been using it for over 6 yrs never gave me any problems related to random crashes
4 ปีที่แล้ว
I love Manjaro KDE. But switched to Manjaro Gnome today. got tired of infinite customization of KDE :D I also tried pop_os today. It's great. But couldn't get the hardware acceleration working. Manjaro is the best distro for me.
I was about to settle down and enjoy me some exposure about my favourite desktop but the ad totally put me off. At least you disabled the background music so I could x2 speed up after the ad but by then I decided to move on and find some other ad-free videos. I'd normally thumbs up anything to do with Manjaro/KDE but not this time because of the ad(s).
InfinitelyGalatic - would you suggest we install directly as an operating system, or install a type 1 ' bare metal' hypervisor like Proxmox first and install onto Proxmox as a virtual machine? I want to be able to run Windows also as a virtual machine alongside Manjaro.
this distro was giving me a lot of problems but it looks great, after sleep mode chromium crash but after all it will be fixed in the future, a great choice
Although I agree that Manjaro is fantastic, I have to stick with the gnome version, due to a lingering issue with the plasma version. In my workflow I tend to edit images in Gimp and then use them in a libreoffice document. I use Copy Paste to copy the image in Gimp and paste it in LO writer. In the Plasma environment this will (in 80% of cases) cause the gimp to instantly crash. You will lose any unsaved work. This bug has been around for more than 2 years, but no one seems to really care about it. The funny thing is that it does not happen anywhere near as often in KDE neon. Last time I checked I could not get NEON to crash the gimp. Surely if anyone knows a solution to this, I would be glad to hear it
Manjaro was one of the first distro's to actually make me think of ditching Windows entirely. This particular distro wasn't quite there for me yet, but the latest now is really impressing me. So much so, I haven't had to boot into windows for 2 weeks. I definitely agree about the colour scheme in that I find it butt ugly, but it's easy enough to change to something else. And even to the point of not being able to recognise it's Manjaro! Mine just looks like a regular KDE blue style scheme with some windows 10 style touches which wasn't hard to achieve at all. Makes me feel a little more at home and not in a foreign land!
i've had consistent issues with trying to log out/restart the OS where after going out of the logout confirmation, it simply goes back and does nothing for maybe a minute or never, and I have to end up turning off my PC by powering it off for 5 seconds because it wouldn't even do anything when trying to go logout a second time because it hasn't done anything.
Installed Manjaro today and as much as I was impressed with its implementation of KDE, I was having a difficult time installing/removing apps. Been used to OpenSUSE for almost a decade (albeit I just use Linux at home for fun). Suse hasn't been doing well for me for a while so thought will change. Tried POP-OS, elementary OS and didn't like them. I keep coming back to KDE. Tried Kubuntu, KaOS and both didn't satisfy. Guess will try Manjaro once more and if it doesn't work, will probablky go bazck to OpenSUSE.
I'm sorry but how do you have a problem installing/removing apps? I never used OpenSuse so i dont know what hurdles your facing. I personally turn on the AUR and Flatpak support, never have a problem.
@@donaldc3884 as I've said I'm not a Linux expert and it took some time to figure things out like turning on AUR, Flatpak etc. Installed it again and spent some time and I'm now getting the hang of it. The team has done a really good job with KDE.
@@hagarthehorrible1391 I didnt mean to sound like a dick, I apologize if it came out that way. I just moved back to KDE myself after using Manjaro Gnome for awhile. I liked the simplicity of Gnome but the features in KDE just keep me coming back. Good luck and enjoy the ride. If you have any questions let me know, im no expert either, just discovering awesome things as i go along.
@@donaldc3884 I didn't think you were rude at all. Just that maybe missed that I was new to this. That's quite alright. Really enjoying the Manjaro KDE experience. Most everything I have figured out in terms of the applications I need. My laptop has for the most part now set. Thanks. Hope you enjoy your experience as well.
@Adria Torres same thing happened to me on my first installation. I got pissed and tried various other distros and came back to Manjaro. Now it's fast and is working fine but yeah I do see what you're saying about it compiling and building packages. Does take a fair bit of time. But for me it's a spare laptop I use Linux on, so not really bothersome if something fails.
Fast but problems: Dependencies, spellcheck with Zim, Kate. Login screen 24hr time format. (Linux user since 1995 so I tried everything). went back to Kubuntu 20.04.1, everything works.
Very good review! But I still can't figure out how Plasma is a "busy" desktop. If you are not looking for "busy"-ness specifically, Plasma is as minimalistic as any other DE. It behaves exactly you want it to behave: busy if you want it to be busy, or minimal if you want it to be minimal, and anything in between. That's why Plasma is so flexible.
Hate the out of the box colors, ugh. Whoever thought teal, green, and orange was a good look needs to be shot. I cringe any time i have to reinstall and see it again
Manjaro have a way of making there systems look refined and nice but for me if I'm using a kde desktop I prefer to use Open Mandriva 4.2😳 yep you heard correct Open Mandriva😉 and what an improvement it is to 4.1
I really like Manjaro, but setting up software like VMWare Workstation 15 or 16 just doesn't seem to work without hacking your way through it. Even after hacking it to work, any slight changes to the OS in terms of updates brings you back to start point. I know this isn't Arch/Manjaro's fault but because I use this type of software religiously for my work, I cannot use Manjaro as daily driver.
There’s some really good documentation you can follow to have VMware not break when you update Manjaro. I have Manjaro as my daily driver and have VMware Workstation Pro 16. I have kernel 5.10 and let me tell you, I have no problems with VMware on my machine. One thing about Arch based systems is that you need to RTFM (read the F-ing manual) to get things done. Arch will force you to manually configure everything which can be good or bad. I can give you some easy documentation which can be found in the Arch-wiki or a 3rd party site 🙂
I have been using a dual boot with Kubuntu and win10 for years. I had a triple boot for a short period with Elementary OS but I never really played around with EleOS much so I got rid of it when I upgraded to Kubuntu 18. 18 seemed smooth until an update several months(like 8 months) in and it crashed. So about 2 months ago I tried to upgrade again to Kubuntu 20.04.1 and again was amazing until last week with a system update and it first started dragging everything, when i realized it had somehow removed my Nvidia driver and wouldn't reconnect to it no matter what i tried. Now I get grub like line and can't boot into 20.04 even after trying to reload it with a live usb. I say all that to ask what is different about this KDE version from Kubuntu, I have never used Manjaro but i hear its Arch base is more stable.. is that true?
I really loved Manjaro KDE, tried on live USB. Installing the Broadcom wifi driver on Manjaro is an absolute pain, I tried everything possible from terminal command, Manjaro support, heck even Reddit and youtube tutorials, nothing worked. Had to, unfortunately, install PopOS instead, installing the driver on it was seamless. I used Macbook Air btw.
I'm currently on Manjaro Cinnamon. I love KDE but I need Dolphin as root for how I work, ergo I use Cinnamon instead. Agree with everything you said though, IG, Manjaro is 'extremely' polished and flexible these days. I also TTY my updates as I feel more secure updating in this way. Thanks for your work :)
@@NikolayStefanovkaminatadotnet Have you tried it recently? I saw a video by Silent Robot that gave me clues to achieve this, but it wasn't simple at all. Searching ways to do it online doesn't help much either :) When I can just right click the desktop on Cinnamon, or Xfce, and maybe others... well, it is way simpler :)
@@NikolayStefanovkaminatadotnet Okay, next time I do a KDE install (an Arch based one anyway lol, I assume 'yay' would also work), I'll do that and see what happens. I honestly thought that the AUR dolphin-root was deprecated and/or not stable/usable. I wonder if Andontie repo has dolphin-root... hmmm.
Around Manjaro community is everything ok. They are quick. But updates a very painful experience. They break your system twice a year. Or even more. You need a new fresh installation then. So, I think Open suse Tumbleweed is way better. But I stick with Ubuntu LTS, which have flawless updates and is more stable with no hassles. I still prefer Gnome over KDE or Xfce.
Pleaseeee, tell me how can i install graphic driver for intel graphic 620 and amd radeon 530. I want to switch on Manjaro so hard, but cant find these driver anywhere
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE for me it's slow to boot, slow to download a package due to the mirrors, slow to even install htop. It glitches and freezes all the time... Manjaro for me is excellent when compared to this.
I LOVE the new Manjaro Deepin (with deepin desktop).. it's Gorgeous and works great---) EXCEPT-- I could NOT get it to recognize my WIFI-- I have two different wifi dongles-- one 300 and one 750... newer-- and it refused ro recognize either one... if I could fix that- LOVE that majaro-deepin. THS ONE is nice too...
Very used in Austria and Germany but not in America. Everybody talks about Manjaro but no one says any about how in runs in laptops, old or new, high or low specs !
Moved from Manjaro to Endeavour after their issues with management of funds and the lead literally telling people to go fish if they didn’t like the way he ran things. The general fuckery, firing the financial controller, and mods being toxic was the last straw.
It is the best .... Distro ... But don't use it if yoy have low end device . It will work flawless at beginning ...but over time it will slow down significantly . Its updates are glitchy many times
Why not Choose Manjaro KDE Plasma 20.1? Because every time you open some app that can pause compositor, compositor crashes. Because every time you try to change you dual monitor setup compositor crashes and because many global themes having problems to install
kwin is a nice compositor, but pausing/resetting kwin can cause problems. Luckily, there is an option in setting for this. Disable apps being able to pause the compositor and this should prevent crashes. If you keep getting crashes, it could be a video driver issue. For example, I was getting artifacts after suspend and I assumed it was kwin, but updating to nvidia 450 solved it.
@@magburner if you mess with things you shouldn't, it's easy to "crash" a system. It could also happen if you did something wrong in the installation process
08:58 Double click is so 1990's when people didn't know any better. From the first computer I used with a mouse (Windows 3.1) I had single click and will never have it differently.

Not to comment, just saying different people like different things. 9:40 You added MS office on line? Why not jump to Windows then?

I really hate KDE (especially font rendering) and a part of my soul dies each time I use Octopi, but your speech about Linux, Manjaro freedom is so damn true. A trully nice video. I'm aware I'm no one, but, +1 sub.
Octopi is ugly af! Pamac is now default but even back when octopi was the default the first thing i did was install Pamac.
excellent content, thank you so much!
Debian testing unstable mix with KDE Plasma is a good setup too. I suspect that would be very similar to Manjaro with KDE Plasma, but with more binaries, so you don't have to build packages which can take a very long time.
We could do a layout manager for plasma like we did for gnome edition, but I'm busy with gnome, so I'll leave it to someone else for now.
I have chosen KDE Manjaro and it is very good interface and interface looks like windows 10. It also looks very good for desktop
If you are a tinkerer than KDE is for you. Me I'm not much of a tinkerer, so KDE is not for me. But Linux offers choices wich I think is really cool;)
I don't tinker with kde much more then most DEs. Change a couple stupid defaults and maybe change the theme depending on default theme
Manjaro settings were integrated with Plasma settings 5 years ago, so this is an old thing. Welcome app is named now Hello, not that it makes any difference, it's bad. Been using Manjaro KDE for over 5 years and I'm happy with it.
I just switched my Dell xps 15 9560 laptop to manjaro. I don't use it for gaming at all, so I didn't bother installing the nvidia drivers, integrated graphics can decode and encode hevc just fine, so I'm good so far :)
About the stability: I am using Manjaro xfce now for over one year on my private main PC and had almost no problems and definitely big crashes. As far as I can tell, if you don't do anything "unusual" or anything stupid, then Manjaro is stable. Maybe I have just been lucky so far.
I am using Manjaro KDE now since a few month on some laptop and now also on my laptop at work, actually also because of the look of the windows and everything, the kind of gray and rectangular shapes. Somehow, I cannot take rounded corners and and big icons serious, I am always reminded of a gaming console. Thus for work - KDE!
Theming: Oh yes, that green... I switched to breeze dark with blue accents ;)
Anyways, the main reason I switched to Manjaro KDE for work, was the app situation - there is just no reason to deal with software in the terminal, everything from any source can be easily done with pamac. It really makes life simpler.
So overall, I really just can recommend Manjaro, whatever DE, but especially KDE Manjaro to have a professional work machine.
I liked it and this was the second time I had tried it, but as with the first time, it started to go wrong wiht the first week. It stopped opening programmes was the main issue. A copy of Libra office simply disappeared one morning. Sadly I find it very 'nervous'. Back to Linux Mint, again, never let me down.
To start I'd like to say great video! well researched, well scripted, concise and well put together!. BUT! there is a misconception that Manjaro gives you choice. It does not. try to get integrated printer support without hp-utils (hplip), try to get ffmpeg without video for linux you can't. try to stop msm-notifier and pamac-tray launching at startup you can't try to remove any of them without braking your system and having to rebuild it from scratch. try use the breeze theme without having to install breeze-gtk first you can't. I am colour blind green and red breath theme looks awful to me and the way it is implemented breaks the breeze theme being constant across all apps including the few gtk apps that require to be run with elevated privileges like gparted and nvidia-settings. KDE 5.20 is a clusterfuck designed for windoze users to attract windows users and it is so messed up the devs need to start listening to their user base or leave the project . There are so many bugs in the latest build of kde 5.19 users are moving away from kde because both the manjaro and kde devs refuse to listen!. KDE partition manager has been known to brick drives if you try to use it to format a drive. terrible and broken google drive support. can't use only the meta (Windows) key to launch the start menu. Manjaro and KDE are a dogs breakfast at the moment unfortunately it is sad to say. I use Manjaro KDE it is still better and faster than any Ubuntu distros. BUT as I said Manjaro claiming that they give users the choice is completely false. you can't even get rid of all the bloat QT development apps that are locked into the system. I even offered a $1500 bounty to manjaro to get these things fixed they are such arrogant cocks they will not even have a constructive conversation about them. And don't ever bother to submit bug reports unless you are part of the zealots circle or it will get ignored deleted or you get told to learn to code and fix it yourself. this goes for both KDE and Manjaro. To All new users I use and prefer Manjaro KDE over all others but!!! Let this post be your only warning of how things really are. Do Not believe the propaganda!
Can you do a Vs with Garuda Linux?
Recently switched my daily driver to this product, so far so good too although Mint was a more complete solution.
I am still on Mint. I tried Manjaro, however, I found it not as easy to use as Linux Mint. Linux Mint is more 'minimalist' than Manjaro.
@@theplaymakerno1 linux mint is really great in terms of stability wise I have been using it for over 6 yrs never gave me any problems related to random crashes
I love Manjaro KDE. But switched to Manjaro Gnome today. got tired of infinite customization of KDE :D
I also tried pop_os today. It's great. But couldn't get the hardware acceleration working.
Manjaro is the best distro for me.
I was about to settle down and enjoy me some exposure about my favourite desktop but the ad totally put me off. At least you disabled the background music so I could x2 speed up after the ad but by then I decided to move on and find some other ad-free videos. I'd normally thumbs up anything to do with Manjaro/KDE but not this time because of the ad(s).
Ads support the creators. I don't skip them if they're not too long.
InfinitelyGalatic - would you suggest we install directly as an operating system, or install a type 1 ' bare metal' hypervisor like Proxmox first and install onto Proxmox as a virtual machine? I want to be able to run Windows also as a virtual machine alongside Manjaro.
this distro was giving me a lot of problems but it looks great, after sleep mode chromium crash but after all it will be fixed in the future, a great choice
You can run "the welcome app" , it's called "Manjaro Hello"

Although I agree that Manjaro is fantastic, I have to stick with the gnome version, due to a lingering issue with the plasma version. In my workflow I tend to edit images in Gimp and then use them in a libreoffice document. I use Copy Paste to copy the image in Gimp and paste it in LO writer. In the Plasma environment this will (in 80% of cases) cause the gimp to instantly crash. You will lose any unsaved work. This bug has been around for more than 2 years, but no one seems to really care about it. The funny thing is that it does not happen anywhere near as often in KDE neon. Last time I checked I could not get NEON to crash the gimp. Surely if anyone knows a solution to this, I would be glad to hear it
Manjaro was one of the first distro's to actually make me think of ditching Windows entirely. This particular distro wasn't quite there for me yet, but the latest now is really impressing me. So much so, I haven't had to boot into windows for 2 weeks.
I definitely agree about the colour scheme in that I find it butt ugly, but it's easy enough to change to something else. And even to the point of not being able to recognise it's Manjaro! Mine just looks like a regular KDE blue style scheme with some windows 10 style touches which wasn't hard to achieve at all. Makes me feel a little more at home and not in a foreign land!
i've had consistent issues with trying to log out/restart the OS where after going out of the logout confirmation, it simply goes back and does nothing for maybe a minute or never, and I have to end up turning off my PC by powering it off for 5 seconds because it wouldn't even do anything when trying to go logout a second time because it hasn't done anything.
Last time Manjaro showed up on my radar it was because there was apparently quite a bit of drama going on behind the scenes. Has that been sorted out?
Aayup. The complete package/app listing is why I stick with Manjaro.
Installed Manjaro today and as much as I was impressed with its implementation of KDE, I was having a difficult time installing/removing apps. Been used to OpenSUSE for almost a decade (albeit I just use Linux at home for fun). Suse hasn't been doing well for me for a while so thought will change. Tried POP-OS, elementary OS and didn't like them. I keep coming back to KDE. Tried Kubuntu, KaOS and both didn't satisfy. Guess will try Manjaro once more and if it doesn't work, will probablky go bazck to OpenSUSE.
I'm sorry but how do you have a problem installing/removing apps? I never used OpenSuse so i dont know what hurdles your facing. I personally turn on the AUR and Flatpak support, never have a problem.
@@donaldc3884 as I've said I'm not a Linux expert and it took some time to figure things out like turning on AUR, Flatpak etc. Installed it again and spent some time and I'm now getting the hang of it. The team has done a really good job with KDE.
@@hagarthehorrible1391 I didnt mean to sound like a dick, I apologize if it came out that way. I just moved back to KDE myself after using Manjaro Gnome for awhile. I liked the simplicity of Gnome but the features in KDE just keep me coming back. Good luck and enjoy the ride. If you have any questions let me know, im no expert either, just discovering awesome things as i go along.
@@donaldc3884 I didn't think you were rude at all. Just that maybe missed that I was new to this. That's quite alright. Really enjoying the Manjaro KDE experience. Most everything I have figured out in terms of the applications I need. My laptop has for the most part now set.
Thanks. Hope you enjoy your experience as well.
@Adria Torres same thing happened to me on my first installation. I got pissed and tried various other distros and came back to Manjaro. Now it's fast and is working fine but yeah I do see what you're saying about it compiling and building packages. Does take a fair bit of time. But for me it's a spare laptop I use Linux on, so not really bothersome if something fails.
Thanks for the video. Please what mic do you use?
Give it the gnome version a try, you will be impressed!
tried it and i like it. using it since then. changed the wallpaper to zorin's that i copied tho coz it just so gorgeous and theme to qogir
They have a layout switcher and their GNOME looks more closer to the vanilla version
Fast but problems: Dependencies, spellcheck with Zim, Kate. Login screen 24hr time format. (Linux user since 1995 so I tried everything). went back to Kubuntu 20.04.1, everything works.
Why does KDE take relatively longer to open programs (even Dolphin) compared to other DEs, such as Linux Mint Cinnamon?
What would be a good dark theme with purple accents for KDE? Something like Mint-Y-Dark-Purple or similar.
I use Arch Linux BTW, i wish Manjaro could provide deepin desktop environment
It can ! :) And it will be stable, available and downloadable pretty soon .
Very good review! But I still can't figure out how Plasma is a "busy" desktop. If you are not looking for "busy"-ness specifically, Plasma is as minimalistic as any other DE. It behaves exactly you want it to behave: busy if you want it to be busy, or minimal if you want it to be minimal, and anything in between. That's why Plasma is so flexible.
Dude the green manjaro theme has been burned into my brain
Hate the out of the box colors, ugh. Whoever thought teal, green, and orange was a good look needs to be shot. I cringe any time i have to reinstall and see it again
Manjaro have a way of making there systems look refined and nice but for me if I'm using a kde desktop I prefer to use Open Mandriva 4.2😳 yep you heard correct Open Mandriva😉 and what an improvement it is to 4.1
I really like Manjaro, but setting up software like VMWare Workstation 15 or 16 just doesn't seem to work without hacking your way through it. Even after hacking it to work, any slight changes to the OS in terms of updates brings you back to start point. I know this isn't Arch/Manjaro's fault but because I use this type of software religiously for my work, I cannot use Manjaro as daily driver.
There’s some really good documentation you can follow to have VMware not break when you update Manjaro. I have Manjaro as my daily driver and have VMware Workstation Pro 16. I have kernel 5.10 and let me tell you, I have no problems with VMware on my machine. One thing about Arch based systems is that you need to RTFM (read the F-ing manual) to get things done. Arch will force you to manually configure everything which can be good or bad. I can give you some easy documentation which can be found in the Arch-wiki or a 3rd party site 🙂
I would say, If someone here who thinks ubuntu and it's derivatives are best then check manjaro it is faar better than them. Give it chance
Manjaro Cinnamon is the best version for Desktop PCs and Manjaro OpenBox is the best for an old laptop.... :) Get the best one.
for me is i want to use a desktop environment i go to the source except for GNOME i use the manjaro or system 76 spin
use the minimal version of manjaro for crash free experience
My main reason is pacman, totes, it’s one of the greatest package managers out there.
I have been using a dual boot with Kubuntu and win10 for years. I had a
triple boot for a short period with Elementary OS but I never really
played around with EleOS much so I got rid of it when I upgraded to
Kubuntu 18. 18 seemed smooth until an update several months(like 8
months) in and it crashed. So about 2 months ago I tried to upgrade
again to Kubuntu 20.04.1 and again was amazing until last week with a
system update and it first started dragging everything, when i realized
it had somehow removed my Nvidia driver and wouldn't reconnect to it no
matter what i tried. Now I get grub like line and can't boot into 20.04
even after trying to reload it with a live usb. I say all that to ask
what is different about this KDE version from Kubuntu, I have never used
Manjaro but i hear its Arch base is more stable.. is that true?
Great video
I tried to validate manjaro sig file and it had a bad signature
I run Manjaro and W10.
Help installed manjaro but no internet after restarting.
I really loved Manjaro KDE, tried on live USB. Installing the Broadcom wifi driver on Manjaro is an absolute pain, I tried everything possible from terminal command, Manjaro support, heck even Reddit and youtube tutorials, nothing worked. Had to, unfortunately, install PopOS instead, installing the driver on it was seamless. I used Macbook Air btw.
I'm currently on Manjaro Cinnamon. I love KDE but I need Dolphin as root for how I work, ergo I use Cinnamon instead. Agree with everything you said though, IG, Manjaro is 'extremely' polished and flexible these days. I also TTY my updates as I feel more secure updating in this way. Thanks for your work :)
Just install dolphin-root. That's it.
@@NikolayStefanovkaminatadotnet Have you tried it recently? I saw a video by Silent Robot that gave me clues to achieve this, but it wasn't simple at all. Searching ways to do it online doesn't help much either :) When I can just right click the desktop on Cinnamon, or Xfce, and maybe others... well, it is way simpler :)
@@emjaycee I use it for years. trizen -S dolphin-root. It's that simple.
@@NikolayStefanovkaminatadotnet Okay, next time I do a KDE install (an Arch based one anyway lol, I assume 'yay' would also work), I'll do that and see what happens. I honestly thought that the AUR dolphin-root was deprecated and/or not stable/usable. I wonder if Andontie repo has dolphin-root... hmmm.
@@emjaycee Yes you can use any AUR helper :)
KDE is always king of customization. But, Manjaro KDE is visually pleasing out of the box.
I disagree, it is too fucking green. So I customized it to fit my taste.
Around Manjaro community is everything ok. They are quick. But updates a very painful experience. They break your system twice a year. Or even more. You need a new fresh installation then. So, I think Open suse Tumbleweed is way better. But I stick with Ubuntu LTS, which have flawless updates and is more stable with no hassles. I still prefer Gnome over KDE or Xfce.
OpenSUSE doesn't have minimal ISOs and by default is bloated, also so slow for me due to the mirrors being mainly in Europe.
why and how on earth does it break the system? that sounds scary
Pleaseeee, tell me how can i install graphic driver for intel graphic 620 and amd radeon 530. I want to switch on Manjaro so hard, but cant find these driver anywhere
Drivers are weak
Can I record my screen with KDE?,GNOME version doesn’t allow me to record my screen
Manjaro is nice, but it runs noticeably slower on my machine than OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I wonder why?
Maybe something with drivers (?)
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE for me it's slow to boot, slow to download a package due to the mirrors, slow to even install htop. It glitches and freezes all the time... Manjaro for me is excellent when compared to this.
Have you ever tried Garuda Linux ? Think is based on Manjaro you should like it :)
I LOVE the new Manjaro Deepin (with deepin desktop).. it's Gorgeous and works great---) EXCEPT-- I could NOT get it to recognize my WIFI-- I have two different wifi dongles-- one 300 and one 750... newer-- and it refused ro recognize either one... if I could fix that- LOVE that majaro-deepin.

Why not Choose Manjaro KDE Plasma 20.1? Because every time you open some app that can pause compositor, compositor crashes. Because every time you try to change you dual monitor setup compositor crashes and because many global themes having problems to install
Which distro should I choose manjora kde,plasma ,xfc or UBUNTU or Fedora?
kwin is a nice compositor, but pausing/resetting kwin can cause problems. Luckily, there is an option in setting for this. Disable apps being able to pause the compositor and this should prevent crashes. If you keep getting crashes, it could be a video driver issue. For example, I was getting artifacts after suspend and I assumed it was kwin, but updating to nvidia 450 solved it.
