What's the best distro and why is it Manjaro?

I like Mint because it is Ubuntu but without the commercialism. I like to take it easy with Linux at the moment, so nothing too bare and complex but also something that isn't 100% ezpz and using me as a commodity to sell to advertisers.

Mint is alright, I'm just not big on the mint green colour scheme, I hate Ubuntu though.

whats the bottom right and top left widgets that displey time and cpu/ram usa are called ?

They're widgets that come with conky manager

Is Manjaro any good though? Why bother when things like Mint exist?

I wiped my Manjaro partition about a week ago for CloverOS. Feels good man.

I like it a lot, it's quite simple and has a similar design philosophy to mint but I think it's better for the following reasons
>highly customizable
>looks better out of the box
>built on arch
>access to AUR
>Excellent documentation via Manjaro wiki and Arch wiki

On second thought I take back looks better out of the box but I'd argue it an be customized to look better

>What's the best distro and why is it Manjaro?

because Manjaro is really shit and keeps breaking down and that is why it is great because I dont actually do anything all day long but I enjoy learning about Linux and manjaro and so fixing manjaro. I usually call it mangina because using it is like cutting your dick and balls off and getting a cunt instead

I prefer xubuntu since it just werks

Manjaro is the best, Arch has proven itself to be more than a meme. All these weak as fuck based on Debian/Ubuntu distros need to back up when this new bad boy of a distro gets discussed on a forum. Fucking pussy ass niggers using outdated software and calling it stable, be a real man and run a rolling release distro. Muh estrogen filled apt get is nothing compared to the testosterone bomb that is pacman. Yeah boy Manjaro has all that Arch goodness hidden in a beautifully designed preconfiguration. Unlike Debian it isn't Jurassic Park down there. Current year is year of the rolling distro, and boy it's beautiful.

pacMAN

MANjaro

Funny how it never breaks with me.

I'm loving Void but I'm afraid it will lose support sooner or later. I'm thinking on going back to Arch because of this.
They are reaaally similar though. (like most Distros to be honest)

I think install official manjaro first then add you de or wm because I used in past everytime it done something like remove my windows boot partition, i3wm with manjaro is lack of documentation whereas official that KDE etc they are far stable in my case using on gaming laptop and if you want arch flavor in i3wm with good documentation

>alobe (arch derivative) most stable and rolling release

I wonder....

I was using Manjaro KDE, pretty good.
Jumped ship to Kubuntu because the font rendering is so much better.

It never broke with me too.
People using Gnome had some problems with the 3.28 update, but really, if you use Gnome you deserve it.

No reason to use manjaro over arch. Just use arch anywhere if you're too lazy to install it.

Legitimately asking, is this true? Do they use the same packages/repos?

you can get i3, bpswm pre-configured with manjaro too

arch anywhere doesnt exist anymore pal

It's anarchy now. It doesn't change anything

The only problem with mint is that you can't install it on a system that has a nvidia gpu installed. Someone will say "just edit the grub entry adding nomodeset..." but it is a noob-oriented distro so i think this is unacceptable. For the rest it's a great distro.

Not to be a dick user, but do you do any work on your machine?

Manjaro has its own dedicated software repositories to ensure delivery of fully tested and stable software packages, and has automatic detection and installation of drivers for example graphics cards. Also they have an easy support for installing and using multiple kernels. Manjaro isn't just an installation script.

Manjaro is basically Arch meets Mint. When I tried it out in my Linux noob days, I found it almost as easy to use as Mint, but way better when it comes to software - i.e., it's got Pacman, non-ancient packages, and the AUR.

>censoring user and host like a faggot

What's your malfunction?

>Two clocks
For what purpose?

If you get rid of the shit tier window manager and use i3, then I'd agree with you.

It's manjaro because it's within OP's comfortzone.

But with arch anywhere you get real pure arch with the benefits that brings. Its a personal choice but I tried manjaro and one other arch based distro as well as a 100 other distros over the 15 years I've been using Linux and have found archanywhere/anarchy to be the best. All the advantages of arch, which for me is the AUR and god tier wiki, with a superior installation process that I prefer to even distros like Ubuntu.
Its a mistake to not try it at the very least.

So everything Antergos does except worse, with a dead community and DE packaged distros that are separately maintained, basically missing the point of arch entirely

Nice, sounds like a garbage distro to me

I'm using the same pape but have the blue and pink theme to back it up cunt flaps.

ANTERGOS

If you're installing Manjaro, know that you'd be better off not using an arch based distribution. If you want an Arch based distro that ACTUALLY 'just werks', Antergos is the only way to achieve it. Manjaro maintains a repo they make no changes to other than to release software late, and ships broken anyways despite acting like the 3 people on the dev team do any fucking work to test packages. Furthermore, only one DE is officially maintained. AN ARCH DISTRO MAINTENED DE TO DE.

Antergos is the entire arch package. Any DE, any hardware drivers that exist, automatically installed and fully featured the second you finish. Manjaro by comparison is like buying a Lego toy that's been pre-assembled, half the pieces are glued together, and if you ever want to try out a different look you have to download an entirely new set of Legos.

I used anarchy
It left my system unbootable thrice trying different techniques but I just fixed it myself and now have an Arch install with ease

This is a really beautiful painting.

What dock is that, Plank?

I use KDE manjaro on my thinkpad and I like it a lot. Tried xubuntu, lubuntu and Debian and manjaro is my favourite so far.

tbqh I use manjaro mostly because it's what I was using when I watched luke smith's "stop distro hopping" video.
And because it has a bspwm edition which is my favorite WM and I'm too lazy to spend hours configuring shit when the I can have it just werking on manjaro

KDE Neon is my favorite distro, but I am looking for a suitable replacement.

Taking any recommendations with KDE DE.

freeBSD is looking pretty kool.

>only one DE is officially maintained.
Wrong, three DEs are maintained: XFCE, KDE and GNOME plus Manjaro offers community editions of Awesome, Bspwm, Budgie, Cinnamon, Deepin, i3, LXDE, Mate and OpenBox. You can select the ISO for your choosing or select the Architect ISO which gives you an installer that lets you choose between everything listed above. Manjaro is the new Ubuntu and Arch is the new Debian

Arch anywhere was rebranded as Anarchy Linux.

But now it comes with lots of bloat. It is not minimal anymore. So it sucks.

The more popular it is, the easier it is to use because the easier it is to find solutions online.

So arch is pretty damn easy to use, easier than manjaro.

fight me?

Mint and Manjaro are the two worst big distros, they have had huge problems in the past with updates and security

answer me

>Manjaro
>It's just Arch but with an extra chromosome

Try OpenSuse user. It's amazing with KDE

Why do you think it'll lose support?

What is the name of the lower right widget you are using for conky? looks great

Just adding my 2cents that I like Manjaro.

I always use a lvm on luks setup. A few too many times, I've had to roll back kernel / grub updates on Arch. I've even had issues where I've had to roll back on Debian Sid.

So far, being ~2 weeks behind Arch for package updates has kept me from any other minor issues over the past 2 years.

The SSL cert expiry thing was embarrassing though, but it seems like they have got it together now.

One more thing to add - Manjaro is the only distro I've tried with Nvidia Optimus / bumblebee working perfectly on a fresh install.

Xubuntu or Mate (Debian if you're pro) anything else is weaboo tier

that's amazing considering all the extra chromosomes arch already has.

Why does Linux always look like shit compared to Windows?

The dev has ran off with basically all the passwords, logins to Void's irc chat, github, basically everything.

OP please gib wallpaper

What if I use the last version of it? Version 2.2.9. Doesn't it download Arch from the web or is it stored locally on the AA ISO? If it downloads Arch from the internet and gets the latest build then I should be fine using the old installer, No?

>retarded update process trying to "stabilize" shit

Why would you use it
