Manjaro is great. I hopped around some distros, but i think i'm settled now with Manjaro xfce. It's fast and it works like a charm :)

[MrDajawho]

Use Manjaro Mate since first release. Very few issues to complain about. Still loving it even today!

May 12th 2018 - Manjaro is number 1 on distrowatch! Looks like it's worth of a try.

I'm running Manjaro Gnome 17 it was a real pain in the ass to get up and running...took over 24 hours on UEFI laptop. After I had to rebuild my repository / Pacman which was another hour of reading community forums but it was all worth it! Turned my cheap AMD A4 lappy into a fast, fine tuned machine! I will be keeping this OS on my lappy for many years to come...LOVE it!

On Manjaro LXDE now for 4 weeks only comment I have is flawless does everything you need day in day out.

Only recently did I do some messing around with Manjaro (Gnome) and it's very attractive, seems stable, etc. I didn't have any problems installing it - I've read some comments where people had issues, but, in my case it installed just like Mint, etc. I found it weird that the basic installation didn't contain a few standard tools like mlocate, mtools, etc. (in other words, commands like "locate" and "ifconfig" didn't work until I installed these programs). These aren't big issues and I like Manjaro - but I can't figure a linux distro shipping without these basic tools.

Arch Linux is NOT a religion!!
Oct, 17, 2017: Manjaro is the best Arch install I have ever used. I used dd to prepare the bootable USB drive. Ten minutes later my G3220 16G ram computer was humming. Everything worked. Even my printer . . . connected without fuss, and printed. I also installed Arch linux on a USB drive with Manjaro. Manually partition the drive. One partition did it. 30 minutes later I had a perfectly working USB bootable drive with Arch Linux installed. Stop sweating over installing Arch. No body cares how you installed Arch. Thanks . Good luck to you.

Manjaro IS NOT ARCH..Just wanted to clear that up..Secondly for the person below if you want a modern DE look at KDE or Deepin they're more modern than the offerings from Windows or Mac. And thirdly you can make most DE's look however you want so XFCE can look like Mac or Windows or just your DE this is the power of Linux

Because GNOME flavor became an official release.

Thanks, legend says Chris doesn't read/reply the comment.

i am trying it out now, compared to mint it is a lot harder to do things, mint i picked up in a couple of hours, but manjaro is 2 days in and i still cant get my network printers installed, l must be lacking some network drivers or something, but i will keep on trying, first problem i had was it would not accept my password after 3 installs i finally got it fixed, dont ask me how, but now it accepts my password

I wish the Linux community would get their shit together and just make one single distribution where everything just plain old works out of the box. Is that so much to fucking ask?

Take Manjaro, for example: Samba doesn't work out of the box - you can't browse anything on the network, printing is disabled and has to be enabled via cryptic commands, Clock don't work on task bar and displays wrong time, Monitor resolutions that are not detected are not displayed and have to be enabled through cryptic commands, Worst of all.... Wake from Sleep is spotty at best and often doesn't work and won't resume and you lose all your open work, often on some systems USB keys won't be recognized at all, the file browser is stone age crap, sometimes for no reason at all sound will stop working and mute itself and you have to go into alsasound and unmute everything, sometimes sound will break when you upgrade the kernel, etc.


I could go on forever, but these are something a developer should see immediately right after a clean install, of shit that's just BROKEN and not working.

[thedoctor]

I have use Manjaro for five year
Try Manjaro Architect you build to you computer

[Aneocs]

I couldn't get Manjaro KDE to install to save my life. 10 installs with only two 2 runs into the system! Back to mint. Im running Dell inspr. 5555 8gigs of ram. Fairly new. But KDE Mint does everything I need and installs the first time like a champ. If its not broke dont fix it. Good luck all :)

[michaelwrest]

Running a rolling release is a big advantage.

[lemler]

i know i want to use manjaro but what desktop! there are so many now! i miss when it was just gnome and kde and the rest were just swept under the rug lol

[NexaYa]

Used Manjaro for 3 months, switched to Antergos (easy Arch installer)

[Oczkins]

I like Manjaro is very stable but is taking almost twice more ram than Debian or Ubuntu.

[justjordan]

There is no script to install Arch, arch is harder to maintain then to install. Manjaro just breaks after casual update. The only reason why people like it is ez install of all applications.

[marvinrube]

It's true it is climbing and i hope it continues to climb, but it's still garbage compared to Mint. That distro wastes a lot of your time.
