When i first switched to linux i hopped around a lot and manjaro was my comfort distro for almost a year. But some updates broke my boot and as a relative noob i couldn't do much so i started hopping again. Many distros later I found my plate of rice... Fedora. I'm happy here but Manjaro days were something I was happy with. ❤❤

Manjaro is BY FAR the best arch based distro you can get. Nothing else comes close and I've used pretty much all of them. Going on 4 years on my main desktop with Manjaro KDE.

Yesterday, I tried installing it on my brother's PC. The ISO file was a month old, and I was too lazy to flash a newer one. It installed normally, but then I got a 2.5 GB update. After the update, pretty much every single app didn't work and Wayland stopped working for some reason. I had to switch to x11

I just made the jump to Manjaro Linux for my fulltime distro on my ASUS ROG Strix laptop. Everything works right out the box, wifi, ROG lights, games, drivers! Everything.

I used to Manjaro. I had something happen where something broke, then I switch to EndeavourOS. It has been smooth sailing ever since.

I used manjaro for more than 3 years before witching to endeavour and fedora. It worked well, even better when switching to the unstable branch, just switched out of boredom.

Manjaro is the first distro that I haven't hopped away from. I really haven't had many issues after 5 years using it on the same PC. Besides having to fix the occasional update issue caused by my AUR downloads which is mostly my fault. It's very easy to swap and update kernels. The KDE 6 update is running great for me with wayland and Diablo 4 is working for me now in 4k HDR and FSR 2.1 under Proton. Being able to play games in HDR now is awesome.

I installed manjaro just a few days ago on my main machine and I specifically remember that during the steam installation pamac asked me to pick one of the vulkan packages and I was like "umm I have no idea why I need this but lets pick vulkan-radeon i guess", and Steam worked with no issues. Actually pamac asked me to pick optional dependencies for anything I installed. my mom's laptop has been running manjaro for years now and had no issues during any updates, and I used it myself a long time ago, never really had any problems, and I actually remember thinking it's "misunderstood" occasionally, like a lot of people on youtube would basically expect it to behave like Arch, but it's not Arch and it's not supposed to, and they have good reasons to hold back packages for instance since instead of just releasing random updates all the time and forcing people to deal with random breakages and "manual intervention required" cases, they release updates in waves that are much more curated and never break anything also it's pretty cool that manjaro now has automatic bootable timeshift snapshots kinda like opensuse

i used manjaro 2 years ago, i hated setting up optimus. it didn't do it automatically, also any aur package runs like crap and breaks the system.

Garuda linux review next

13:04 happy for your upgrade, also a bit late.. but happy bday. 👌 I wish I had an integrated GPU, because I always wanted to GPU passthrough to a VM, just to test haha.

is there possible to switch between nvidia and intel in wayland on optimus laptops(laptops with 2 gpu)???

TechHut is running Mac OS

I just upgraded my tuxedo os to plasma 6 Wayland and words can't express how much I hate Wayland any recommendations for my next distro ?

I've been using Manjaro (stable) for about 2 years...until last week. Literally every update breaks something lately. Can't recommend it.

wich version are we seeing in the video of Nanjaro?

In my opinion, if you’ve been using Linux for some time and aren’t afraid of getting your hands dirty, then it’s the bee’s knees for folks trying to squeeze the life out of their hardware. Yeah, there will be lumps and bumps to tackle, but that’s the point of using a rolling distro. The ecosystem right now is changing and fluctuating and that indicates that it’s alive and thriving unlike Windoze where it’s focused on built-in spyware these days. If you’re a tech enthusiast and have some knowledge of Linux this is a solid distro. Been using it for over five years now and have grown it to as much perfection as I can manage on 14-year-old hardware and I still love it.

The problem is its ONLY a decent distro with a lot of competition negating its upsides nowadays. Arch isn't hard to install anymore, endeavor exists, it just doesnt make much sense to take the coinflip with a team as incompetent as manjaro anymore :P Good video tho ty

Manjaro runs on 3 computers at home, everything is fine)

The problem for me is that Manjaro is basically just Arch Linux but nerfed. Updates take longer for not much gain in stability and it's best to avoid the AUR, which is a big loss. The installer and pre-installed packages are nice but EndeavourOS exists. Besides, it's just not good for a beginner, on an Arch distro you pretty much need to hone your troubleshooting and Linux skills to have a decent experience. You can learn a lot of that by installing and using base Arch, but you skip that process when you use Manjaro, and when a problem comes up, a beginner is gonna be clueless on how to solve it.

Interesting.. I am a quite new "noob" to Linux myself, started using Linux full-time about a year ago.. Tried Ubuntu, Pop!Os, Mint and Garuda Arch in the beging. Liked Arch the best, bt to many uppdates and messa-git.. My idear is that Ubunto and "those" are to simple and Arch is to "new" with bleading eatch and a lot of complications that can easily break. Then tryed Manjaro on my old 1155 system and it ran greate, but when I "upgraded" to am4 it diden't work well and "testing" kde6 broke. Reinstalled and tryied again, still the same, lockupps and uppdaes that broke boot. "Manjaro is not Arch", maybe.. But seems to have the same problems. Been runing Fedora 40 with kde6 now and I am content. No more "distro hopping" hopefully.. Need to make a good backup/clone! Just my personal eperience, ideas and preferences.. Greetings from northern Sweden in springtime!

A lot of mindless hate about. I heard lots of it and wanted to try it and expected it to fall on its face but it didn’t. Literally everything I threw at it - gaming included. Both KDE and Gnome working really well. Personally I always had the mindset of, wait a bit to see what’s broken first before updating so Manjaro suits me fine.

Hello, young man. You confuse me. Or perhaps nature has preceded you in that effort. You state that a possible issue with Manjaro is them releasing a package, such as the new kernel, too quickly. Yet most of the complaints I read about Manjaro suggest that the problems usually derive from them holding and curating packages for a week or two, which means the delay in release causes conflicts with AUR packages which do not delay. If I am under some misapprehension, my apologies.

I love it but i can't trust it... not worth my time unfortunately.

Manjaro is not under rated or misunderstood. They deserve all the hate they get. It's just arch Linux but worse.

Manjaro meant to be Arch for the lazy... But if you're *that* lazy, perhaps Linux Mint is better for you 🙃

EndeavourOS is much smoother on my system than Manjaro. I used Manjaro for a few days in 2024, and some things didn’t work. My brother’s friend’s dad is one of the initial contributors to Manjaro, so I know some insights :) I would give it a try; maybe it will work for you…
