Manjaro is a Linux Distro that’s always been at the forefront of linux evolution. Latest and greatest of all the software, Best in class desktop experiences, unbeatable customization. The list just goes on. It’s in a league of its own.
I use a ton of different Linux distros and while many big names are deviating from their core message, Manjaro is becoming more appealing than ever before. In a world where, snaps and flatpaks are touted around like they are the next big things, half a decade old packages are pushed to users in the name of stability, control is taken away from the users to promote user-friendliness, in this world, Manjaro offers a computing experience that has freedom, the newest tech and full control over your system.
I don’t know about you, but that’s exactly why I use Linux and not proprietary stuff.
So today, I’m thrilled to take you on this journey where we see what things manjaro brings to the table that make it a top Linux distro in 2024. Let’s take a deep dive and explore the big reasons, and trust me, there are some compelling ones. You might be missing out by not using Manjaro today. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
This review was amazing and Manjaro is amazing and that's without you even mentioning that it is a set it and forget it ROLLING distro!!!!!
it sure is not set it and forget it, more like set it and watch it crash next day
@@_nishantk_ I had an issue the past two times I had updates. There were some conflicts between packages it doesn't know how to handle without manual intervention. I've been running this particular install of Manjaro for several years, and it's usually not a problem, but form time to time, the updates have been problematic.
@@_nishantk_Not in my experience. I've been running it for 2 years straight
Manjaro has 3 levels of "rollingness": stable, unstable, and testing, depending on how much risk one can tolerate. I go with the "Stable" branch, because I'm more interested in stability than in trying a lot of untested stuff. To determine what branch you're on, do "pacman-mirrors --get-branch". To change branch, do "sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch {branch}".
If you want "set it and forget it", other distros may serve you better (PureOS, LMDE, Debian, Fedora, Mint, etc). Manjaro is more for those who like the frequent updates of Arch but without the horrific Arch installation experience.
ok bro listen , i can play on linux my online game warcraft with framework and drivers from my nvidia?
I heard Manjaro had issues with not renewing their security certificate and pushing out apps that were unstable and buggy, that's why I decided to go with Ubuntu. Have they addressed these issues now, and are they trustworthy??? I wanna try it but I'm a bit unsure if I should.
Estable Diffusion Funciona o no en esta distro bro?
my laptop has RTL8821AU network card which isn't supported manjaro. tried everything so I switched to endeavour os.
Try Garuda too once. Its a bit bloated but amazing!
I thought it would use the same kernel/drivers as most other distros?
@@johnnyblack4261 You would THINK that, but Garuda and Manjaro have issues as far as I can tell with something in how the I/O drivers seems to operate. Sometimes the mouse jumps, sometimes it doesn't like a peripheral, sometimes it just forgets what USB is. Nothing game-breaking as a reboot usually fixes it, but also it feels a lot like Google's OS at times - a little rough around the edges. My current Garuda "problem" is that it auto-runs 12 versions of Conky for no reason when I boot up. And that my mouse has only up and down randomly in certain games. lol.
@@plektosgaming The problems you are discribing are they both with manjaro and garuda?
have you tried another distro for a long enough time and does the same issues occur?
@@johnnyblack4261 Gardua for the smaller issues, but both for some patch just Fd something up and now I'm stuck in hell for a few hours to figure it out. They try to be Windows a bit too hard, IMO, and stability suffers.
youve done it.
youve officially sold me on manjaro! ill definitely be trying it out
I use Arco Linux as main system, and Manjaro KDE occasionaly as a second, and Linux Mint as a rarely used backup system. Some ppl comment about Manjaro's out-of-date certificates. All I know is that if there are out-of-date certificates it has never affected my experience using Manjaro. I have a lot of AUR packages installed, and never had a case of broken dependencies in all my years using it. If it ever happened I'II deal with it. I think the team of devs do a fantastic job and as far as I'm concerned the Manjaro distro rocks.
Thanks for such a detailed video.
Takes a lot of work to make such content.
Thank you buddy.
I'm confused i'm using ubuntu for more than a year and want to switch to manjaro and hearing so much negative about like instability of AUR and unstable packages so what should i do ???
Just avoid AUR. You'll be fine without it. look for stuff like flatpaks.
Ubuntu is simpler, easier, safer. So if that's what you want, that's what you should use. (I tried it myself, and I absolutely _loathed_ it; it was like giving myself a lobotomy.) Do be aware, though, that Ubuntu has some privacy-violation issues, and attempts to foist non-Libre software onto its users more than most other distros.
Manjaro is more-complex, more-configurable, and somewhat more prone to problems, so be prepared to do some sleuthing and repair work from time to time. It's basically a middle ground between Ubuntu and Arch, a good distro for folks who are somewhat-computer-savvy but don't want to spend the kind of time and energy required to install and configure Arch. Manjaro is the GNU/Linux distro I use on all of my computers.
AUR programs on Manjaro (or Arch) are only a problem if they malfunction. If an AUR program does malfunction, simply uninstall it and use different software instead, problem solved.
Arch is a Linux fanatic's distro. It's for people who want to do everything manually. I would recommend Arch only to true computer nerds who are not averse to doing simple things in very complex ways purely for the bragging rights (eg: "By the way, I use Arch."). Maybe someday when I have a lot of free time I'll install Arch on a computer and play around with it. But today is not that day.
Avoid the AUR in my opinion, it breaks things way too easily in my experience. If you need to install some unsupported package/program then simply use distrobox to do that as that wont cause dependency problems witht the rest of the OS. Other than that I've had good experiences with Manjaro, it's only when I've used AUR that it has ended up broken.
If you're looking for stability don't use arch based distros that focus on bleeding edge or near bleeding edge releases
@@slickdrick : Manjaro has "stable", "unstable", and "testing" branches, so you can choose your level of "edginess". I'm on the "stable" branch, myself.
am currently on windows 11 as linux doesnt have a proper android emulator for pl;aying my games ones they would come i would use it i dont get it why isnt bluestacks available for linux??
waydroid
Waydroid is awesome!!! On manjaro!!!
That is simple too,,,
Have a mini PC or laptop with Windows 10 or 11 - install Bluestacks (Android emulator) and play your Android games there...
Get a good used laptop and install Manjaro on it....

@@USB3.2
I used Manjaro a couple years ago. At first loved it. Seems great. Then, just little things started breaking. You figure it out, and then some other little annoyance. Just didn’t stop, not show stoppers, just small weekly annoyances that drive me nuts.
Never experience those in Manjaro , Try Endeavouros or Garuda and weep.
@@yrjo5050 Garuda IS a case-study in it feels like it's held together with Tinkertoys and Duct-tape. No idea at all if anything will import, export, transfer, or launch correctly until it does. Nothing game-breaking, but also... stuff like I guess Chrome won't launch - reboot to fix? My USB drive isn't being seen any more - just poof.. Reboot to fix? I've had old 8 bit computers that were more stable than this.
@@yrjo5050because they probably use AUR which Manjaro tells you to use at your own risk .
Isn’t it with all the distro brothers! All Linux distro breaks over time. This is my experience
Re "little things started breaking": So? Fix them! There is not an OS in existence which doesn't have "little things" (and in some cases HUGE things) wrong with it. And least with GNU/Linux distros, one _can_ fix the problems.
Whereas with closed-source monstrosities such as Microsoft Windows, often the bugs _can't_ be fixed, because not even Microsoft programmers have access to all of the source code, so most employees can't help you with most problems. The most any one "VIP" can do is rattle off "common solutions to common problems". For less-common problems, they'll tell you: "Try uninstalling-and-reinstalling windows. If that doesn't fix the problem, throw your computer in the garbage and buy a new one with Windows pre-installed. If that doesn't work, just live with the problem. Now go away and stop bothering me."
The big question is that does it provide good battery life on laptops and does it have battery and network optimization?? My laptop has always had issues with battery life on linux. Also, for some reason, when I am connected to a personal hotspot on my laptop, linux caps my speed to 3MB/s.
I find it hard to believe that linux caps your speed to 3MB/s. I've never seen this. I've used hotspot on my iphone with my linux machine many times for work as a software dev from a lake nearby. It's not super fast, but I'm usually getting at least 20-30 MB/s. Not sure what would cause this, though. Some distros use more battery life than others. There are packages you can install to help with this like TLP.
@@kylerjohnson988 my phone's internet speed is 50MB/s 5g but for some reason, the cap only applies to personal hotspot. Not with wifi. Why??
As soon as my laptop reaches the speed of 3MB/s, it caps it down. I don't know why this happens. My network card is qualcomm qca9377 2.4-5.0ghz wifi/bluetooth.
@@kylerjohnson988 I find it hard to believe too. Is there a solution. On my phone, standard Internet speed is 50mB/s.
Something kind of opposite? happened to me. On windows 10 my wifi speed capped on 1MB/S but hotspot worked fine. I tried everything but nothing seemed to work. Then I installed Ubuntu and the speed issue got fixed. Ubuntu is kind of slow and my pc is old so I am going to install manjaro.
@@parthmadaan3898 No, if it is a laptop, use endeavourOS. Manjaro is not great on laptops without sitting and installing and configuring tlp for hours.
If you need an arch based distro, endeavourOS is just better. Otherwise, wait for fedora 40 to release.
Have you EVER tried Garuda?? Another Arch based distro. Please try that too!
Garuda sometimes forgets where my mouse is, can't reliably recognize a USB drive, sometimes forgets where my printer is.. it's just rolling the dice (though rebooting usually fixes it) for actual productivity. It's 99/100 for running Steam games, though. But I do more than run my PC as a game box. I tried it for 6 months and it's just not stable enough. Manjaro also has these same odd stability and interface issues from time to time, and I am convinced that it's because the entire world is programming for Ubuntu (desktop/cell phones) or BSD (Mac/servers)based distros and Arch itself is suffering from cracks in its armor that are becoming increasingly hard to deal with.
I Tried Garuda several times over a year. I don't recommend it. It works for some time fine, then it suddenly starts giving issues.
@@JonDoe-gi5zf This is the problem with a rolling release. It's too easy to have something break and not realize what actually did it.
And what about it's support?
Manjaro is the only Linux distro that reliably died after an update for me
If you're looking for stability why are you using a rolling release distro?
@@slickdrick Maybe they want packages that aren't 2-3 years old?? I'm in the same place anymore after being on Mint.
@@markh.6687 okay so you don't want stability. That's you, good for you.
are you using AUR ?
@@slickdrick "Yeah stability is for nerds" *two seconds later*
WHY DOESN'T IT WORK???
How about arch craft?
I used to use Manjaro. Unfortunately, one of the updates broke the KDE theme. I use EndeavorOS now. It is remarkably stable :/
I just loaded the Manjaro on my virtualbox in my windows 11, on the phisical computer I am typing, I installed dual boot OS: windows 11+Linux Mint, in my opinion, just play any OS on a virtual machine like vbox, and use the stable one like ubuntu and windows OS for phisical computers.
As a fairly long-term Manjaro user (>5yr) I generally agree with your sentiment, except perhaps the emphasis on some people saying it being ideal for new Linux users .. which is certainly isn't, even according to the Manjaro team.
True, but you make every distro sound amazing 😅
True😅
Cause every distro is just amazing, on their own way
Open source developers put in a lot of work so that we enjoy a top quality computing. I'm just doing my part spreading awareness about them buddy.
@@LinuxTex true, but they can't all be amazing, their must be some criticisms too, tho😁😁
Neither my WiFi card in my laptop nor my Brother printer work on Manjaro yet they work without extra config on Debian/Ubuntu hence Majaro is no real option for me.
The issue is that most of the world is programming for Debian based and BSD (plus Mac) now. Almost no modern peripherals are built with Arch in mind, so if they deviate a bit too much from the standards, well, good luck with that. My Epson printer prints but does not scan properly. Nothing I can do except plug my old Macbook into it, scan, upload to Google Drive, then back to my PC. lol. (also smol cry at times)
Everytime i use the AUR with manjaro it breaks my system, and many others have the same problem
Hello, I totally agree with you about Tumbleweed which is great for professionals (my favourite
Excellent 👌 video explanation.
Glad you liked it bro 😊
I like your content! Great job.
I'd say EndeavorOS is Arch made easy. Manjaro is more like Arch's Ubuntu. It's based on it's parent but branched off enough to be it's own thing.
The best way to brake Manjaro is using the AUR.
How sir 😮
never broke for me, using it for 2 years
4 times tried Manjaro , all failed in the end. Because is based on Arch, isn't Arch , and when you install some package from AUR repositories, after every major update, the system corrupt and break grub.
From all distros I test previous years, The best I used is Garuda and CachyOS. I have settle with these two the last 3 years . They work flawlessly , fast, and can install custom optimized kernels very easy.
On gaming, amazing performances.
So Manjaro for me is over.
Yep. My final straw was my USB drives simply no longer being recognized after an update. No fix that I can find as there's no way at all to know which of the patches it pushes at you did it.
Excellent explanation ❤ 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙌
Lmao
Trying lots of linux distro, now I am going back to Ubuntu 22.04 🤣
Same 🤣
Ubuntu is KING!!!!!
Manjaro always ended up having a problem for me, mostly straight after install or soon after. I installed Arch at the start of this year and it has been amazing. The best Linux experience I'd had was Ubuntu up until this, but I think I'm Arch BTW for life now! Using hyprland myself and I have KDE installed for whenever my bf needs to use my computer for a while. If anyone is thinking of trying Arch but wonder if you're not "good enough" with linux, trust me just go for it!! Then use the wiki! :P
Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis. In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.
soo right at the beginning, I switched to manjaro completly 2 years ago, just one ubuntu, but the rest 10Pc's is manjaro, why? - because it fits best to my needs, and once you got it, its simple easy.!!! But I love XFCE.
Try to avoid AUR and install non core application packages flatpaks instead.
Why?
AUR works great, I rarely have problems with it. Flat packs are for lazy boys.
no flat snaps im in
Comparing Manjaro and windows 11, which one do recommend for AI and machine learning and web development?
Obviously linux is better for development, windows is pain in ass.
Just a side note, if you are intending to use python for ML, make sure to create a venv first and install packages inside that only, otherwise pip can interfere with system package management.
BSD. There is a reason Apple is BSD based. There is a reason many servers are as well.
The learning curve is not an issue - AI will really break your mind trying to program by comparison :)
Love your content! Keep it up!!!
I have used Manjaro in the past and I once enjoyed it,however it has gone down in my view due to the problem with out of date certificates that occur from time to time. Then if you use pamac and the aur you will get problems as pamac holds back and the aur is the latest.This then breaks programs and causes grief to the user,plus other arch distro's also use the calamares installer.
I was in the same boat. Went through a few distros, starting with Ubuntu, eventually landed on Manjaro/KDE. Was happy there for several years, but after the third time they forgot to update their SSL certs, I threw up my hands and moved to openSUSE Tumbleweed.
Wow, you could have had Nix! Manjaro is fine, but at some point you will end up with a broken update and a system that won't run without some repair work. After that happened several times, interrupting important work, I switched my workstations to Nix. 9 months later, I've experienced 1 broken update that was resolved with a simple reboot and rollback to previous version. 2 minutes downtime max, mostly just trying to figure out what was happening.
Nice....
Technically it's arch that's amazing, which isn't even that hard to install these days, plus there are other arch based distros like endeavour and garuda which do everything that manjaro sets out to do, but better.
Exactly, the arch-install script is so user friendly, once I discovered it, it saved me soooo much time.
By all means experiment, but make sure your Linux experience supports it. For most Users primarily interested in productivity, a more mainstream path with the best support is the preferred route. Long term linux users who migrated from Windoze have no desire to return to the days of investing 25% of their computing time trying to keep their O/S functionable!
I disagree with your over-generalised claim that Manjaro's customization is unbeatable. The distro I use, Slackware, gives me more control than any other distro I have tried, including Manjaro. And I have customized the hell out of my installation. The issue with rolling is that the core packages are always up to date, but the stuff you add yourself often does not install. But I do agree with your points on package manager -- just use a tool that downloads the source and builds the package right on your system. No package manager needed. Having said all this, my second choice of distro is ... Manjaro :)
Excellent 'til it breaks. It could be either Gnome or the distro. It doesn't matter, it's a matter of time.
I used Manjaro 40-60 hours a week for 2.5 years working as a software dev and the only issue I had was that one update borked grub. Took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to fix it. The mistake most people make with it is that they enable AUR access and start installing all the things from there. Manjaro doesn’t update as fast as vanilla Arch so installing latest versions of packages from the AUR and their dependencies can break things. Install from the Manjaro repositories, Flatpaks, or app images first. If necessary, install from the AUR with the knowledge that you’ll have to check those dependencies for those packages on every system and package update
I have not touched this in 5 years in fairness to manjaro but your reason is my reason for staying away. Every time it just breaks its like clock work. It might be a lot of things stable is not one of them.
@@johnmal5975 if Manjaro is used as intended, it’s super stable. It only becomes unstable when people start installing a bunch of things directly from the AUR without doing their homework. I get why that may not appeal to a lot of people and why some may even feel like it defeats the purpose of using an arch-based distro. But when used as it was intended to be used Manjaro has been very stable for a long time. For folks who want to install directly from the AUR, but don’t want to setup Arch themselves, I recommend EndeavorOS. It’s pretty much an easier setup for vanilla arch and it updates when Arch updates so you don’t run into the dependency problems you have with Manjaro when installing directly from the AUR.
I run manjaro on both my desktop and laptop for 4 years now. I hardly had any problems ever.
Manjaro gnome has been exceptionally stable for me. I would say it is way more stable than pop!
Beautiful and futuristic.... But when you switch it on in a random day, it wont boot.
Its nice but i use catchy os which is super smooth probably the best i have used for performance and customization. I havnt used manjaro for years.
Catchy also has occasional update issues. It is nice though if you want to play with the operating system rather than the computer. LOL Same with many distributions, that is the Linux downfall.
Buy WHY? You don’t answer the one question your thumbnail BOLDLY PROCLAIMS. Why did you ditch the rest for Manjaro? In one statement, why did you ditch the rest for this release of Manjaro?
hahahahah on point reply 😆
He's the kind of person who makes videos just because he can
@@Gmyen-qs5ip and i don’t know why he is manjaro biased 😂😂😂 lol
I use Manjaro Xfce and it’s amazing! Those who say it breaks I can understand why u all say that but in my opinion if you are not a tinkerer then Manjaro is the fast and best distro. I think don’t compare it with Arch based distro. It’s not arch but based on arch. I used xubuntu, mx linux etc and they have a lot of pain in setting them up but Manjaro is just out of the box ready to go distro and that too all the packages are latest compared to Ubuntu
Is this arch based Zorin, lol. The changing of the gnome layouts.
Well this is an one sided review. Here are some downsides regarding each point. Not a hater of majaro. I am just sharing my experiences.
Here are 7 reasons why you shouldn't use manjaro:
1. You dont get "CUTTING EDGE SOFTWARE". Manjaro holds back updates for weeks, sometimes even months. Independent of arch linux means it has it's own set of problems. When you have a broken installation after just updating, it is much harder to fix your system then "JUMPING FROM VERSION TO VERSION". "Tested" means just holding back packages for weeks.
2. Just use AUR with manjaro repos and see your system packages fail catastrophically. Aur is always the latest and manjaro hold backs updates for "TESTING". What if two packages have same dependencies? Ans: You break your system. The usage is very simple.
3. "Deep level of customization"? just switch the default kde theme and whala, you have a broken theme. Still usable tho! And switching kernels is nothing unique to manjaro.(Except for manjaros magical tweaks which breaks my system every time I update.) Well, this is unique! It's all about choice. And knowledge and experience doesn't help you here.(A course might!)
4. You can get even better performence on Vanilla Arch, Nobara or NixOs. And "official" repo packages breaks unlike Flatpaks. And let's not talk about AUR again. Native packages can also help you cock up your system packages in Manjaro. All this is justified in the name of slightly better performence? FU**. Just install xfce on other distros for gods sake.
5. Nothing compared to arch community and archwiki. Need not say anything else in this regard.
6. "Surprisingly Suitable System for Gaming" Is this qoute of the year? Am I getting cancer? "Newest More Optimized Drivers" can't help but fu**ing with steam tho. But look Super tux cart is playable on manjaro!! So it is on my calculator. Steam is not unique on Manjaro.
7. Simplified version of arch is not manjaro. Well it was. Definetly not denying that. Now is just more headace. Just use archinstall script or EndeavourOS if you prefer a GUI DE. "There is stability as well"??????? Wow!
Well i do not bother with this channel promoting distros only showing their shiny and cool features when the distro is not usually problemetic. But manjaro is not like that. You should maintain a minimum level of honesty while presenting a distro considering a huge number of people are gonna install manjaro just because of this video while not judging manjaro properly. I am not against you promoting your course whatsoever. You may like manjaro. So do I. It was my first arch based distro to try. But in case of manjaro (any rolling release distro as well) you should emphesise on bad sides. Specially stability considering you explained it as fairly stable which is not the case or at least I wasn't lucky with it. But when promoting to newcomers you should maintain proper honesty. I think tis video in particular is quite a hypocritical one.
👍🏻
If u are gonna use Manjaro.. why not jus use Arch? Like literally?
Agreed the problem with Manjaro is its install and use. But can break alot which can be a trap for new users. With Arch the is minimum level on knowledge assumed.
Manjaro is in a wierd position. It's repos are held behind, as a result using aur and core/extra repos will eventually break something due to version mismatch.
Any other Arch based distro is much better. Plus manjaro has bad reputation when it comes to keeping their certificates upto date.
You can switch to testing with newer packages with one command and switch back. Issues with older packages and AUR mismatch is rare, so this isn't an issue for the most of time.
There is a reason for holding packages. For users needed immediate update should always use Arch.
I love Arch but the delay in update is the reason i use manjaro as it gives much more reliability. Using my setup since 7yrs now.
@@fk_tech Yes. But Manjaro works well if you don't use AUR. That condition takes out one of the most attractive parts of Arch.
You can switch to unstable repo, which is in sync with official arch
AUR is shit coming down from Arch, avoid it. There are better options if vanilla package does not cut like Flatpak
Manjaro is the distro that got me to switch from Windows to Linux years ago as my main OS. It's looks good and runs great as long as you stick with the main repo when installing apps. Eventually I broke Manjaro and had to switch to another more stable distro.
Nowadays, I don't care about having the latest and greatest. I prefer having system stability above all. As long as my OS can do whatever I ask of it, I'm satisfied. I'm on MX Linux (KDE version) now which is based on Debian. It might not have the latest packages but this is easily resolved by using flatpaks. For example, I use the flatpak version of Handbrake because the default older version that comes with my distro doesn't include a feature I use.
Even though I don't use Manjaro now, I still feel very thankful to it for getting me away from Windows. I also feel it might be a good beginner distro for those new to Linux as it comes with a lot of default useful apps. Most people new to Linux would have no idea what apps are available or what they are even called. Manjaro also uses very reasonable and intuitive default settings out-of-the-box. Once you know your way around and what you want/need, you can try other more custom distros targeted to your needs.
It's Pop! for me in late 2022. That is over Ubuntu, which I found too obscure (unclear) as a newcomer. But I've found Pop! too simplistic (which is something different, like lacking features and such). - And I've already been thinking about moving to Manjaro for months because of its features I saw when I tried a live-boot of it. - I just hope it will work out for me.
"runs great as long as you stick with the main repo when installing apps"
You mean using pacman?
There's like 5 apps on there. 95%+ of all apps I've wanted to install have not been available with using pacman.
Nice to see this review. Tired on those parroting Manjaro hater's like Nick from LinuxExperiment.
I much prefer Biglinux to Manjaro, seems much more stable to me and better looking!!
Biglinux is based on Manjaro
I've used a ton of Linux distros and almost everything else except Apple products. Manjaro with a customized KDE is the only thing I use now. I wish they would not hold back packages for the time they do and I have a few other nitpicks, but I try out a new distro about once a month on average and I just can't find anything better.
Hey, have you tried BigLinux? I used to use Manjoro and really liked it but Biglinux is amazing and like Manjaro everything works
Manjaro is the ONLY distro that works perfectly out of the box on my 10yo laptop Lenovo Ideapad z500. 8gb of ram but a horrible, really old cpu. I installed Manjaro once and never come back to ubuntu. Lightning fast boot, insanely smooth while browsing, good ui, great compatibility, stunning colors. It's really THAT good. The only issue is that whenever I update the kernel, I need to be exremely careful to not break things. Manjaro best distro of 2023, imho. Let's see what this 2024 will bring.
I think Debian 32bit would probably work better
Have you tried Solus?
Keep two backup kernels
@@Sithhy have you tried not being an r tard
I can't tell about the KDE, but Manjaro Gnome is extremely stable
As is KDE.
i dont have PayPal
the new package manager drama still aint over theres still issues , well its your choice
can you bring a quick review of new wubuntu os
kde plasma 6 its a suck
I have Manjaro in a VM since 6 years and it never let me down. Many other fancy and famous distro VMs I deleted after experiencing 2 to 3 problems.
Be honest Manjaro is that efficient, because it uses the XFCE desktop by default. Xubuntu with XFCE is as efficient :)
I use LibreOffice 7.6.4-1 in Manjaro. I use the latest LibreOffice 24.2.3 with their new way of numbering the releases, in the 8 years old Ubuntu 16.04 ESM :) :)
Two of the advantages of snaps, it is easier thus faster to distribute the latest version of the apps and they can even be run on an "ancient" distro release.
I ditched Manjaro because it broke my user account password hours after a fresh installation. Using Ubuntu LTS currently and I'm happy
You have to restart it and change it to the user you created the user you change pc name that your user you have to restart to change user to your or you won't login because there is automatically created user
Well nope. Anyone dont go for manjaro. Broken packages, dependency issues due to them holding the upstream packages from arch, paryial broken updates. It's a total hell.
If you want to use arch just use vanilla arch. It is more stable then any of the arch based distro. With archinstall script it's really easy nowadays to setup arch Linux.
Dude everything you said about manjaro basically applies to every arch based distro
Manjaro is more stable than Windows 11. I spent 3 weeks trying to get that stable with very recent hardware... Manjaro had no problems - and ran faster. Manjaro is the best!
Manjaro is faster but it lacks the quantity of programs.
Supposedly everything is great with this distro - - - until people start messing around with the great AUR.
The background files on the system aren't ready (as up-to-date) to deal with the latest stuff in the AUR.
You're taking your system's life in your hands when you mess with the AUR on this distro.
... just like this clown I saw zip by me the other day on a thin scooter - one hand on the handle bar and the other was holding a baby in diapers. I hope it all worked out for that genius and his baby.
XFCE has no option that I want... if I want to run windows XP.... I will run XP
First of all, I want to say that I'm not a fan boy or anything like that, right?
Second, start using Manjaro with Gnome 46 or KDE, and never with Xfce. That's where the magic happens.
Using Manjaro has more to do with the feeling it causes than anything else and this is logically rightly intentional.
I know all operating systems and what Manjaro does is naturally inexplicable, but it is deeply felt. Everything in it is done with deep feeling, everything was done to work on the basis of emotion and feeling that there is a coherence beyond.
The difference that the Greeks established between tekhné and poiesis is explicitly present in Manjaro. Manjaro exceeds the limit of being what it proposes to establish magic or seduction, in other words: satisfaction. After all, what is the point of a terminal like that other than to provide you with a deep and coherent feeling that we are using a correct tool that is extremely friendly to the senses?
More than providing user-friendly use, it's creating the feeling that small problems are pleasant to solve when you're in the right place, right?
What Manjaro wants is for the feeling not to update but rolling release.
It has tendency to break your system while updating, otherwise appealing...
East or west endeavoros is the best
Arco #1
The comment section will be reasonable. :P
HaHa.. You called it ;)
It's alright... Mostly just "The only thing I will use, but...", to "It breaks all the time.".
after the mandatory distro-hopping myself into the ground, I kept going back to Manjaro KDE 😉
While manjaro works great, your Argument that other distributions are Not as flexible is Not true. You cant easily Switch to very old packages If you need them. Its Just the other way round, only nix can Mix new and old packages at will and stay working. All other distributions fall short on one end of the spectrum.
And the aur is actually Not the biggest foss Software repository Out there.
Do NOT use the AUR on Manjaro.
Drink everytime he says Maaanjaro
dont post in arch forums that you use manjaro btw💀
There is some hate for Manjaro, but I have a very good experience with Manjaro. I've never had a problem and it's easy to use
(like Linux Mint)
It's even better than mint
And meanwhile we're on the 3rd or 4th day of a non-installing update. Why are they holding updates back for 2 weeks if the update fails nevertheless? Little Phil Müller back to his old sloppyness?
@@zamsosam Yes, it is. Otoh it's a question of personal taste and usage case. Minty is the most unproblematic Linux distro.
Linux mint was ten years ago. Where have you been?!!
@@orcaflotta7867 yeah we like different
It's a good distro, but it definitely doesn't work for me.
barebones arch linux is the best.
Is it me or is every video about every distro about "blows you away" "the best ever" etc? Who believeable is this?
But all software is unofficial, even popular browsers.
What nonsense is this?
@@NiiOnLood Well it's a fact.
@@debabratabhattacharya6069 pretty confusin what you mean. All software in official repositories are official.
@@NiiOnLood I am pretty sure most softwares on AUR ain't official, and arch is useless without AUR.
For the love of god DONT use Manjaro. if you want stable but slow use something Debian based. And if you want something always up to date but less stable use Arch. if you want a mixture of both use Fedora
I installed on 4 pcs Manjaro all of them running stable and fast. Arch ?? For beginners Arch is too difficult.
ROLLING equals UNSTABLE... this will NEVER be a Main Daily driver for anyone...Never! I dont understand what people dont get. Linux is known for stability... Rolling is the Opposite!
Manjaro is a broken mess. Yes it breaks. As others have stated, it's just a matter of time. I have tried it many times and it eventually ends up breaking after an update. Too bad, because I really wanted to love it.
this is satire right?
Manjaro isnt even that impressive. Its just arch with packages that are held for "testing" for a few weeks. Anything of the customization you can do on manjaro is just as doable on other distros? Why would manjaro make it just so much better to wanna ditch everything else?
Yep, I am on the same boat here. I used Manjaro and allways gave me headaches. I am now on CachyOS and it never gave me issues, and it is an arch based distro that is both optimized for performance, and is quite easy to work with.
@@sharkuel I don't wanna sound like some nerd but I find distro forks to be so boring. All the distros most people talk about are just forks of the same few distributions like Debian, arch, redhat.
It is way more stable than Arch. I experienced it myself. You can switch to Manjaro unstable branch that is basically on pair with Arch and it was a wile ride. Even testing branch, that is few days to a week old behind Arch is more stable but still pretty fresh. For newbies or machines used for work, stable branch is a good solution.
@@michadybczak4862 I also experienced myself on stable and mine completely broke sereval times whenever I tried to configure pipewire, for example (I work at a recording studio). I used Arch for a year on my studio until eventually I got a new computer and decided to put in CachyOS. Been a steady ride, given that I somewhat punish the processor when recording over 36 audio tracks at the same time. With Manjaro, I could never pull that off, because either the dependencies broke and my PC would have no sound, or something else broke and I didn't know why. And yet, with Arch I never had issues. But the overall sentiment is that Manjaro is quite the problematic distro, and even though some may have positive experiences in it, the majority (me included) says otherwise.
Fedora is goat
th-cam.com/video/ZY_HB9lOJhk/w-d-xo.html -> definitively not.
Linux mint is better
Na, I shouldn't switch to Manjaro... I'll stick to Garuda KDE (Lite) before I use Manjaro. And, yes I know Garuda is based on Manjaro. I'll use vanilla Arch before I use Manjaro!
apri fools joke?😂
Too bad the manjaro devs are on crack.
manjaro is not even close of Arch Linux
If you’re going to use arch. Use arch btw
ARCH Linux is the best distro, change my mind.
manjaro is shit, broken packages, unstable updates, slow, sketchy organization, and easy to broke base, honestly endervour os is better and easier and accomplish the same goals better
