Itā€™s quite nice but your gonna need to get used to it, itā€™s based on arch so .deb packages donā€™t work or sudo apt-get overall itā€™s very nice

#3

In my opinion itā€™s a really nice and well put together distro.
Sane defaults, good theming and at least for me, it was very stable.
With both arch and manjaro repos along with AUR youā€™ll find anything you need there.
A lot of options in terms of software, kernels and utilities.
And their community is also very welcoming and helping.

If youā€™re curious, just go for it ! :slight_smile:

Welcome @CyberBoyAyush to ā€œitā€™s Fossā€. I am currently using Linux Mint which is base on Ubuntu. I found out that Ubuntu is based on Debian. Doing more reading I found out that Arch Linux is a different branch on the Linux tree.

So to learn more about Linux, I took a spare 120 GB SSD and loaded Linux Mint Xfce (Ubuntu base), MX (Debian base), and Manjaro (Arch base) onto it for testing. So far ā€¦

  1. I found all 3 Distro were fairly easy to install.
  2. All 3 were easy to update (load patches) after they were install.
  3. Marjaro had the most up-to-date kernel at 5.9. (5.10 is the current approve kernel).
  4. After spending over 2 1/2 years with Linux Mint, I can find my way around with the other 2 Distro.

Still in the early stage of testing (checking them out), but so far all 3 of them seems to be very stable and pleasing to use. Right now I am not even sure what DE the other 2 have. I believe MX is also Xfce. The Linux Mint I use every day is Cinnamon.

Please report back. I would be interested in how you like Marjaro.

Thank You Sir For Valuable Your CommentāœŒļø I Am Finally Shifting To ManjarošŸ˜

So, my experience with Manjaro Linux was simply amazing! If you need a stable distro which receives updates constantly (even more clear, forever)? You should prefer Manjaro.

Your specs are pretty amazing; select Manjaro 20.1 KDE edition.

Please do reply about your experiences about Manjaro after trying it.

Thank you.

For me i use XFCE Manjaro

#11

At Manjaro website, I am reading that there are 4 versions.
kde, xfce, gnome & Architect.

Well.
Why choose one above the other ?

#12

You choose xfce if you are into simplicity or if your hardware is rather old. Otherwise, it is a question of taste. Some people prefer tea, others coffeeā€¦

I actually choose XFCE because i donā€™t like all the other DEā€™s that are officially supported, and i donā€™t want to use the community ones because i am not sure if it will receive updates the same time as the official manjaro versions

#14

Iā€™ll do the same and choose XFCE too.

When asked

Boot allowing proprietary drivers
Boot with open source drivers only

what do you answer ?

#15

Proprietary drivers are supposed to improve hardware compatibility, especially when it comes to WiFi adapters and graphics. This makes sense, especially if your hardware is rather recent.

However, open source drivers can be more up-to-date, especially if your hardware is a bit older and the manufacturers donā€™t put effort in updating their drivers (which applies to most of them).

In Mint I can click system reports -> system info.
and see the equivalent of the inxi ccmmand.

Where is it in Manjaro ?
