Pop!_OS vs Manjaro - What is the best Linux Distro?

Pop!_OS and Manjaro are the best Linux distributions you can download today. In this video, we will compare and overview the two different distributions and help you figure out what is best for you. We will look into their updating systems, desktop environments, package manager, and more.

Pop OS is a Ubuntu/Debian based distribution designed by System76, a computer manufacturer that focuses on well designed Linux machines. Manjaro is an Arch-based distribution that first launched in July of 2011. What the Manjaro team did is they made the Arch base extremely user friendly loaded with features.

As a Manjaro developer, I really enjoyed this comparison. Pop os is great, and their tiling extension is the most mature option out there despite its young age. That's why it is in manjaro repositories too, and shipped in the next release of Manjaro gnome edition too. Pop os devs are also really nice to collaborate with.

I bought a System76 laptop last year, which came with PopOS. I immediately scraped for Void for no other reason than that I wanted to try something new. Now, jump to today & I am just exhausted with configuring things myself. I decided to give Pop a shot, and Installed about a month ago. I am truly impressed. Out of the box, things worked perfectly (expected as I have a system76 machine). The gnome-based DE is just beautiful, snappy & a joy to look at and use. I'm also loving their tiling window manager; it brings me back to the custom tiling WM I had on my other linux boxes. Now, sure, with Pop's default apt pkg manager, I'm missing a few things and packages have a higher chance of being outdated; but, If i need a package that doesn't exist, or if the package version in apt is outdated, then I'll just use linuxbrew to install. I am super happy with Pop and even prefer using it over my Mac work machine lol.

Good one! My limited gravitated me more towards Pop Os and I've been enjoying it ever since!

Ah yes, manjaro architect ...
Arch with 50% the struggle

I love how anthony from ltt is becoming more of an important figure in the linux community than freakin linus torvalds😂

Pop!_OS has been a great OS for me, in fact my first distro ever! Good for beginners like me and good for gaming too! I also like the fact that it comes with drivers out of the box, super friendly

[AnzanHoshinRoshi]

Thank you. Pop has been my favourite distro since 17.10 and I run it on various boxes.

Add/Remove Software has an actual name, it's called Pamac.

[TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken]

Great comparison, keep up the great work! I'm also a Manjaro KDE user and I love it. I might try POP OS on my back up laptop one of these days.

To switch from Windows to Linux, I switched to pop-os, love it since 6months I discovered it.

[TachibanaDono]

Old video but I wanted to let you know, your videos helped me pick a distro after a while of struggling to find one for me.

As a gamer I took a liking to the concept of pop os, though I had a bit of trouble getting comfortable with it. I switched to Manjaro an I love it so much

[bubblegumstudios]

NOTE: Add/Remove software really is just Pamac, so you can get that from the AUR if you need that.

Pop! was a godsend on my dual-graphics laptop. It usually froze when trying to so much as install any distro, but Pop! installed fine and worked like a charm. I prefer Manjaro as a daily driver on my gaming rig, but highly recommend Pop! to those that may have the same issues I had with my dual-graphics laptop.

I am a linux newbie and just came back from a video of the person you1ve showed with a red cross (0:15). Why are people hating on him? He is quite informative

[stefhannington]

As a choice between the two I've always leaned more towards an arch experience which is why for me anyway Manjaro provides the best out of the box setup and gives me a hassle free instant arch system. Most Ubuntu systems feel a little restricted in the sense that if you want something specific you have to tweak, download a new repository and so on just to get what you want to work. Manjaro just let's you do what you need to and is miles more bleeding edge with newer kernels helped by the kernel tool😁. I think it does just come down to what you prefer, some like fedora, some like Ubuntu, some Slackware but for me Arch will always be top.

[phantam]

Like manjaro but use pop, for stability and ease of use

[terryforsythe]

If you run Manjaro, run a backup of your system configuration (e.g., using Timeshift) before applying updates. Also, run updates frequently. The longer you go between updates, the more the risk of something breaking increases. One time I went 2 or 3 months without updating Manjaro. When I finally did update it, it was completely borked. I could not even chroot into it.

Hannah Montana linux is the best and Red Star OS in close second.

[chitrarthsharma]

Anthony is truly a respectable person in linux community

[aaronryder]

OpenSUSE Should be recommended more as well. Its so underrated
