How Is Manjaro Linux

Welcome @CyberBoyAyush to “it’s Foss”. 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 …

  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.
