I'm going to delete windows 10 and replace it with linux, I didn't know what to choose, so I think I'll use manjaro, what do you think? what do you recommend me?
I've tried it on a virtual machine and it looks pretty ""stable""

good joke OP. Try OpenSUSE.
Go with openSUSE.
Leap if you use an nvidia gpu, Tumbleweed if you don't.
Go for it, Manjaro is fine
I don't know exactly how important it is that it is not stable, but as long as it doesn't brick my computer everything is fine.
i will try openSUSE
I've heard mint is fine, i'm a pleb when it comes to Linux so I use Ubuntu which I find very usable.
Before update, read the forum first.
Most of the time the update is fine, but sometime when funny bugs happen, you can find the solution there.
>recommend me?
no use cases mentioned
you sound like a mint user
What is the worst thing that could happen in an unstable distro like arch?
>unstable
nice meme
but you just rollback like any rolling release os e.g.windows
wow much hard
Asking a question on the Arch forums or mailing lists.
Look, just keep in mind that this is first distro and you are going to try other until your find the one that best suit your needs. Doesn't matter if it's based on whatever, if it is stable or not.
You install it.
OpenSUSE has that GAY control panel shit.
Arch is stable, it's never broken after 2 years of use.
>manjaro
>stable
Fucking lol'd
it's fucking stable, only retards with a million of aur unmaintained packages have problems left and right.
Also stay away from manjaro, shit introduces random bugs every now and then and their stupid ass "for retards" installer isn't worth it
OpenSUSE is a joke
Mint mate
Use Android.
Mint, it just works
>plebbit button
all you need to know about this meme distro
avoid Manjaro and Linux mint
This
If you use OpenSUSE you will have to do some tweaks to get mp4 working.
t. OpenSUSE user
Ok autist, stick to your twm
People who have fucked at least one girl in their life use a desktop environment
>change Windows to Linux
boy you're in for a lot of rage and disappointment
OP don't listen to Jow Forums
install manjaro as it's literally the best distro on the market.
don't lump them together
I like manjaro
Manjaro is a horrible distro for beginners because it looks polished on the surface, but is still Arch underneath.
Go for Mint Mate, or any of the Ubuntus.
not op, but i'll tell you this. openSUSE is fucking garbage. literal shit. half the stuff doesn't even work. install a package just to get an error, and that was the STABLE branch. openSUSE is just like Fedora. it's for people stupid and idle enough to be beta testers for Red Hat and Suse Enterprise Linux. you're being treated like shit, you're using shit distros that don't work properly and in all honesty if you fall for the corporate shilling, you fucking deserve it.
Arch is more stable for production than openSUSE and Fedora. Manjaro is more stable than them, it's faster, has less bloat and if something goes wrong, which is quite rare in my experience you can easily fix it if you have 2 brain cells to rub together.
eat shit and fuck openSUSE
Except there is no rollback
Manjaro is comfy Arch. Good choice OP be sure to install yay for packet management
just stick to windows, linux as a desktop OS is a meme
Imagine being so stupid you couldn't get OpenSUSE to work.
The absolute state of Manjaro users. Quit installing shit that isn't in the repos.
>it's faster
That's not even close to true.
Yay?
I'm pleb af, but I've been using Mint for a few months, switched DE to Budgie and I like it quite a lot so far. I run Win7 on my Desktop and Mint on my laptop, works just fine.
Mint would be the safe choice if you want it to just work, you also get deb packages and the support of Ubuntu and Debian
Manjaro is a shitty arch derivative.
Just use Arch, you'll have far less issues and you'll be supported by a far larger community.
Arch community doesn't want anything to do with manjaro, because it's shit.
t. someone who has never used arch
In the 4 years I have been using this distro I have had absolutely 0 stability issues and none of the xorg fuckery that you people meme about
Yeah but the Arch community is shit too.
Don't worry so much about the distro. The biggest noticeable difference between them is the package managers. Manjaro is fine, don't listen to people who say it's for people too stupid to install Arch themselves. Ubuntu is also fine, OpenSUSE is also fine. As long as you choose one of the big ones you shouldn't have any problems. Ubuntu and Fedora / REHL have the most industry support so the most things tend to work out of the box for them.
This. Install the one you think looks cool and will motivate you as you figure things out and learn to fix issues if they arise.
Doesn't matter if it's manjaro or mint or suse or whatever. I changed four times before I found the one I like the most.
it's a recursive acronym for yet another yay
Ubuntu works but it has a ton of crap nobody wants (like the Unity desktop) and I'm staying away from them since Canonical decided it was a wonderful idea to integrate Amazon.com search into Unity.
Debian is outdated as fuck unless you go testing, then it crashes every five seconds despite having the same packages as Ubuntu's stable branch.
Arch is ok for fucking around and learning about Linux because Pacman and Pacaur do most of the heavy lifting for you and it does a good job of complying with documentation, but it is unstable as fuck and literally any problem you have is going to require digging through config files.
Manjaro is Arch with an installer. It's better configured out of the box than Arch but the distro managers have their head up their ass (how the fuck do you not renew your digital certificates) and my last Manjaro completely shat itself when openSSL got updated and pacman didn't update that FIRST. But that would have happened on Arch too because Pacman really does not care about not hosing your system.
Fedora is pretty awful in general, they configure the boot partition in a nonstandard way, stable is outdated, rawhide is too bleeding edge and going back stable from rawhide hosed my system in a way that no commands worked whatsoever.
Gentoo is a meme but has some educational value and has better documentation than Arch. The novelty of compiling all your own packages wears off pretty quick though.
Ubuntu won't make you want to die.
This. Mint may have its disadvantages, but it is easy to install and to use.
In my opinion, it is more "stable" than manjaro
All this bleeding edge shit is rather poorly supported.
I seriously recommend you to settle for an LTS Boontu flavor.
Mint or Neon.
Neon is an LTS ubuntu with the latest KDE stuff but benefits from the software support.
you should probably use KDE Neon, interface looks like Windows, its easy and customizable
yikes
Manjaro really kicked off Arch
I'm currently running both Debian and Fedora so maybe you could start with that it will have more mainstream packages.
Been running Tumbleweed for over six months now, update every week, stable as fuck.
The only thing that I've experienced recently was YaST fucked my fstab when I was messing with partitions of a secondary hard drive. However, BTRFS with snapshots allowed me to roll back no problem...that is, after I used another machine to figure out the commands to roll back the damn shit with snapper.
Manjaro is a good distro if you like dressing as a woman and calling yourself shirley. Go for gentoo or arch that will sort out the men from the poofs
>Not even a proper fs rollback
>Doesn't work if your system doesn't boot (chroot need not apply)
>Doesn't work if pacman is fucked
>Requires internet access
arch is the only distro that just werks
manjaro is even less stable than arch.
why has manjaro become the go-to for new users? I’ve noticed this trend and I’m not really sure why it’s happening. Is it ubuntu’s reputation as the noob distro that drives people away?
Incorrect
I'd recommend using Anarchy Linux instead. It's basically an Arch installer, and you'll be using the actual Arch repos rather than the Manjaro repos. Sometimes the Manjaro repos take a while to get the latest version of something.
Use Manjaro i3, user. It's literally the best.
leap is Jessie tier stability
If you're an absolute beginner with gnu/linux, try mint before manjaro.
That's another reason debian is fucking stupid. Quit giving your versions cute names that mean nothing and give us numbers that a normal person can read and understand.
Faggot
Debian uses toy Story character names
Dont say it to him, it was cute when he showed he was a total dumbfuck
>I think I'll use manjaro
top_ten_quotes_before_a_disaster.png
Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, any one of these distros would be a better choice than that trashfire.
No, try PopOS. EXTREMELY stable regardless of what fucked up config I threw at it, looks better than Ubuntu by default, and has the huge ubuntu community behind it.
I do not recommend anything else for those starting out. In fact, it's so good, you will likely not distro hop.
This or any of the "noob" distros because if you're just starting out realistically there's no reason for you to use something like Manjaro other than for the sake of using it.
Or be prepared to fuck shit up or have the maintainers fuck shit up for you that you then have to fix.
Yeah that's the big issue. With arch, the MAINTAINERS will fuck your system up with zero input from you besides "pacman -Syu".
Who the fuck uses tree.
color 0a
tree
classic h4ckz0r stuff
Also generally you're fine with Arch as long as you read the news before updating, AUR packages are a different thing of course but that's not on the maintainers. Not something I'd recommend for beginners though since it's extra trouble for them for no reason.
reminder that ubuntu sells your activity to amazon and google
Good idea here, OP.
Debian and Fedora are used often in the real world. So if you want to brush up on your *nix skills for future occupation, sink your teeth into systemD and learn the ins-and-outs of bash, apt/dnf. Get comfortable with ssh, cron, *nix privs, user creation, the LAMP stack, Samba, etc.
Worst case scenario, you do none of the above and just watch anime/porn in VLC and shitpost on Jow Forums. You'll still be left choosing from (and using) two professional, polished distros.
I use Void at home but I would never venture to recommend it to a newcomer or use it on professional systems.
I have to wonder if the people that parrot the "arch is unstable" meme have ever used it. I've been running it for almost 2 years and have had no stability issues.
>werks on my machine hurf durf
what the fuck is twm has to do with manjaro and it's shit repos and bugs?
dumb motherfucker, I bet you try to drink your piss every now and then
Yeah, it does. With how bad the stability supposedly is you'd think I would have encountered some issue by now.
that's not how probability works sweetie im going to need you to retake basic maths
It's mostly a layover from the old days when configuring xorg and other things was a giant mess. People would have tons of custom configuration files strewn all over the place so once an update came in it might reset one of those to default and break the whole thing. Nowadays that's not a problem but the meme stuck.
