With all the recent drama, I need to say that Manjaro is a great distribution! Not because I use it, but because of how they interact with the community. Also, how much they contribute to the Linux community and make adoption simpler for Windows Users.

Title didn't age well.
ICTâ˜6PM Feb 17th 2023
Manjaro is so toxic when it comes to the mobile space which is what makes me hesitant to recommend them on the desktop space. I usually lean towards fedora or if someone really wants to go with an arch based distro I go towards endeavourOS. Although when it comes to what they choose to put in their live environment or what philosophy they perpetuate it's completely their choice. It's each persons choice to decide what they whish to promote and be involved with.
yeah its great. but the reason i dont use it because of the bloat… not talking about systemd. but the iso is too big means pretty much many apps are pre installed which is why i avoid it… using garuda kde-lite-edition…..i dont install an os with apps pre installed… just the minimal os with graphical enviroment only
Manjaro is nice tho. I like its KDE environment.
But my dota isnt working well on it ðŸ˜
I really wanted to try a KDE version of Linux 18 months ago. Manjaro was one of the only KDE versions I was able to get going on a 4yo laptop at the time with minimal issues. So much so I almost converted over to full time, except for a few weird things I just couldn't get my mind around at the time and ended back in windows. Linux is almost like trying to quit smoking – the first time is hard and you go back. Second time is a little easier, third time easier again. You just want to get things done and using what you know is easier.
Does your point still stand after two years?
I still can't decide between Manjaro XFCE and POP'OS for my (Windows) gaming computer, but I won't go with Windows 11 that is sure. Thank's for your video.
Manjaro is great
Softmaker office is great (genuinely powerful)
Simple really
Oh no, anyways
When I first switched from Windows to Linux as my daily driver OS for one of my older computers, I started out with Linux Mint Cinnamon, and after about a year of usage, I switched to Manjaro KDE, and I ultimately stuck with it.
all new Manjaro' Deepin 2021 version is freaking awesome ! LOL
Very nice to see Lars Ulrich talking about linux
love the Weyland-Yutani shirt 👌
So basically linux community is like the china of IT space… making cheap copies of proprietary software 😛
just switch to Linux and be happy 😊
I'm QuanticDev and I approve his message.
Manjaro GNOME for sure.
Isnt Free Office now permanently free-to-use. Says on its homesite.
DT, You and Chris Titus should do more of these talks together. You guys would actually be able to give both sides of an argument and shed light on alot of stuff
I tried Linux about 15 years ago. I eventually went back to Windows, but I have very fond memories of trying Ubuntu, Fedora, Opensuse… I went back to Linux about 3 months ago, and right now Manjaro is my daily driver on my laptop (KDE) and convertible (Gnome for its touchscreen capabilities). And I'm not planning on hopping to another distro anytime soon.
I have tried Linux Mint, Debisn(messed the shit out of installation), Pop_OS!, Manjaro(KDE & Gnome), Deepin in the past 1 week. Finally, settled on Manjaro GNOME.
My main reason for choosing Manjaro is the internal Temperature on my Laptop. Their inbuilt PowerWattage tools(tlp powertop) are configured quite well within the ISO. It works like an absolute charm.
I installed those tools on other distros, but they were finicky and unstable. Didn't work quite well.
My laptop's battery life suffered in other distros but Manjaro's efficiency totally blew me away
Deepin was the worst for battery life and temp. Even after installing and starting TLP the temp were crazy high and battery life was less than 1 hour compared to Manjaro's No BS 7-8 hrs.
I absolutely loved Deepin's Snappy Modern UI and fast boot time. If only the temps and battery life was managed properly I wouldn't have reverted back to Manjaro.
PLEASE CHRIS IF YOU COULD FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS HEATING ISSUE(ESPECIALLY IN DEEPIN) I WOULD BE INDEBTED TO YOU (METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING 😅)!
Chris, can you make a video about what the different Linux foundations are? Like I hear about Arch and Gnome and KDE and Cinnamon and all that kind of thing. I'm slightly confused.
** Chris, I have been using linux for about 8 years, have done the linux mint, ubuntu, deepin, a lot of them, just started using Manjaro the last 2 months and love it, the customizing degree is awesome, especially using KDE, I actually installed freeoffice with the install and like it alot, dont have the windows font issues I did with libreoffice, it actually installs with windows fonts, I open a document and it doesn't have a problem opening it the same as windows didm no lost of cant figure the font out, so I recommend free office, you have helped me with learning linux further even though i do know a bit about linux, I have found a lot that I didn't know. Thanks Chris
Because of your videos I decided to hop on the Manjaro wagon from Xubuntu and this is the best decision I have made in awhile
I have difficulty finding the manjaro keys. The web page does not mention the code to get keys from the keyserver
I have dell Inspiron 15 with 4GB of ram 512 GB HDD. I am using ununtu from past 3.5 years on this laptop, I am using this for web development, mainly using vs code , chrome, apache and nginx but my now a days my laptop hangs a lot. I have to wait for after every click. Could you please suggest some destro for above configuration
I don't get it you didn't say anything about Manjaro, you only spoke about FreeOffice, which you can download in any other distro right?
I recently helped one of my friends set up Manjaro XFCE on their laptop (BCM43142 WiFi struggles). I have more faith in it working with their games and not breaking than I would with other distros
I used LibreOffice all throughout highschool on both Ubuntu and Arch systems. Its easily compatible with all the formats my teachers would accept.
I love Manjaro BUT there is ONE Program I need but it’s broken because the validation check is broken. I don’t know how to do the workaround. It’s the Epson V500 iscan software plugin that works with iscan that makes iscan functional I have emailed the maintainer of the software and have gotten nowhere. I don’t know what else to do. So in the meantime I use MxLinux. Ugh.
It literally works flawless except for my photo scanner. Love the KDE desktop.
I just installed Manjaro on my laptop and i like to play with microelectronics so i need the CP210X drivers to work. While i was trying to see my esp8266. I saw the CP210X driver disappear from lsusb. Not sure if thats why I cant see my esp8266. If I take this downstairs to my Windows and if it works on that windows box I may just keep hopping. hate doing that and making me think i should go back to windows.
The User is given the option to use LibreOffice or FreeOffice. So the bottom line is the user will decide whatever works for them.
The “no proprietary software†mentality is just a dogma. Let people do whatever they want. That’s linux.
Fundamentally linux mass adoption is good and if this helps that then I would love that and I think that new users are the ones who are tied down most to default applications and linux vets can just delete freeoffice and install libreoffice but a newbie may not be able to uninstall libreoffice and install freeoffice.
Even open source needs a business proposition. Free Office? Great. There are so many options. Live and let live. If Free Office is sponsoring Manjaro, good for them. I don't have to use it.
It’s based on arch which has compatibility issues.
I don't use anything other than Microsoft Office at this point. I am of the opinion that either one doesn't bother me. I am also a noob when it comes to Linux.
Looks at Linux.
Yeah, I'm gonna stay in Windows for a while.
I installed Manjaro and it's fine, it runs and I really like the freeoffice. Snaps are kind of lame. However, I see much more documentation and more compatibility for Linuxmint (At least for my purposes, working on jupyter lab, youtube, documents) and that's why I like mint better. The documentation for Manjaro is great and like any distro, the forums are full of helpful stuff.
