In Part 4 of the Switching to Manjaro 10 Day Challenge Series I finish up the challenge in extraordinary fashion. I go over 3 big things that happened since part 3 and quickly touch on some of the issues I have encountered over the last 10 days.
Some of the topics:
Completely uninstalled Octopi
Ran updates through Pamac
No freezes once I disabled PC locking
Pamac is the best GUI Package Manager
KDE is bad at managing displays
Linux power management isn’t good .

Lol … blanking your home partition …. hahahahahahahahahahaha …
This is what those non-Linux user must experience, then they'd go bitching Linux is rubbish. Lol …
I am new to linux n trying manjaro, but its break so often for me
what happened to the book?
Distributions don’t matter?
If you screw up every distro you "test" it must be you not knowing how it works, how to handle a computer.

While watching this series you mentioned changing this /etc/makepkg.conf was a life saver so much faster now. Thank you for making these videos.
Hi Cris,
I have tried manjaro KDE for two weeks, l found that the biggest drawback is that my mousing hand hurts more because
1. Too many settings there frustrated
2. The GUI edge is so thin (windows frame) moving cursor to the exact edge seems much more difficult than in macos or win7 in spite l have quick key and imwheel scroll tweak engaged.
A little 😩
ha ha you're a GEEEEEEK ! but you are Interesting
you're not the only Adventurist out there , i always try out other OS's just for the heck of it and see what it looks like plus i have older machines , so i'm kinda held back in technology as well , what stops me from switching to linux is that ya can't play windows based Games unless you're an Ace Programmer , yeah i'd miss Heroes 3 of Might and Magic HD Horn of The Abyss
why can't the upgrades be what your system actually needs not just what they wanna offer ? then you could upgrade without messing things up , who wants to read about all that stuff beforehand ?
so ya Deleted the system 32 folder huh ? , just had to see it for yourself huh , lol
Working whith linux 20 years, buy a DELL XPS 9570 an works great with MANJARO, many problems with UBUNTU, DEBIAN with NVIDIA DRIVERS UEFI , SSD, etc… but with MANJARO flawless from first moment …
Dude – you remind me of the people you talked about in another of your vids about why no one uses Linux; the guys that condescend, feeling above the proles. Here you are installing five versions of effing Linux, as if you had nothing else to do all day. Some people want to use their computers for things they need to do, rather than dick around all the time trying to get this version or that working on the computer, again, just like you said in a previous vid. Maybe you could talk about why you kept switching, and the reasons, pro and con so some low-life like me could select and appropriate one, install it, and run, rather than have to install the next four different distros, for reasons unknown… and at a cost of five times the 10 day challenges (50 days) of dicking around?
Should try Arco, you'll like it
Is that book you're writting out yet? Where can we find more info? Thanks.
I was also wondering can you do a comparison between pamac and octopi, i'm kinda new to Linux and like to learn a lot more!
when manjaro breaks its usually user error, I'm not saying manjaro doesnt break but since Manjaro have a testing release then gets put into the live version of manjaro its usually user error if a problem occurs
When somebody says "i was editing with nano", this is where I turn around and walk away.
I've been a Manjaro user for a few years now. I did switch to MX Linux for a few months, but due to frustrating power management issues , went back to Manjaro.
I also have a Ryzen 1600x running Manjaro and I have a few observations/recommendations for you.
1)Make sure to have your Ryzen system running the latest stable bios.
2) With Manjaro, or any rolling release distro, I recommend reading the forums to guage other users experiences with those updates. In my years of using Manjaro I was caught only twice by this. Once when I didn't update for months and the next time via a suspect update. Both times if I had just looked at the forums for 5 min I could have avoided any issues.
3)Have more than 1 GUI installed. I have both XFCE and cinnamon available to me. If there is an issue with one due to update issues, I can always use the other one and easily make adjustments.
I would not call Manjaro a distro that needs constant care. 99% of the time it just works. I spend lots more time maintaining my Windows based systems than I do with Manjaro.
Chris how do you compare Manjaro to Mint?
Wierd you had issue.. I Installed my Manjaro 11/19/18. And I have had all of 1 problem.. I had a Bad update with my Graphics card I think and Crashed my Cinnamon.. But timeshift fixed my issue and will not "Distro Jump" from that..
I have never been able to break Ubuntu 14.04. I froze it sometimes and even ha s slow motion problem, it never broke. Antergos is not for me. Did you try out Antergos? Try to see if you can break it too.
fedora is at the top nowdays beating ubuntu. try fedora 29.
Normally pacman -Syu works but for that particular upgrade, it was problematic. Systemd had to be downgraded first. Good to see you worked it out, and always check the site/forum before system upgrades. Manjaro is the best, and I am a long term Debian user, but to each his own, which is the way of Linux.
Really cool personality and videos. Keep them coming.
I tried installed Manjaro on a VM a few weeks ago and got immediately irritated my keyboard wasn't working in the installer and I immediately shut it down and went to bed (it was bedtime anyway). Finally went back to it a few days ago and realized it was defaulting to 105-key keyboard instead of 104-key keyboard.
I always use UEFI wherever possible
I would like to see you try Calculate Linux for a new challenge. Based on Gentoo.
so which distro is best ?
Resident Evil 2 Remake is playable on Ubuntu18.04……only for the 1st chapter, once Leon and Claire have left the gas station, it loads forever.
I am forced to buy a new SSD and install Windows 10 now.
1:45 adding the display-manager (sddm, kdm etc) user and the standard (non-root) user to the »video« group to allow them to use the gfx driver solved that problem for me several times with openSUSE. Don't know if it would work on Manjaro as well.
2:07 edited to add: it's »eff-ess-tab« (file-systems table) not »eff-stab«. Cheers!
These distros suck up my laptop's battery dry real quick.
I used Debian Stretch for about 6 months, after having used Arch for about a year prior. I really do love the polish and theming Manjaro puts into their distribution.
…but I went back to Arch, and I still don't see a reason to use Manjaro other than saving time on themes.
Looking forward to the video on how to switch between legacy and UEFI. Didn't even think that possible without OS reinstall.
13:46 you already have that, the arch wiki……
Using Manjaro makes you dab? Looks like I'm sticking with Ubuntu then 😛
manjaro is the linux distributions which easiest to use for pesonal desktop that I had use beforethe
