  • Ray Moreton says:

    I run Manjaro and W10.

  • Todd Pl says:

    Cannot get the iso to flash a card. Help

  • whoami says:

    Thanks for video. What do you think, how stable it is compared to LMDE 4?

  • Armando C says:

    You can run "the welcome app" , it's called "Manjaro Hello"

  • Angel Diaz says:

    I love the rolling release of arch on plasma. It's so light and stable now then where it used to be that it's currently running on my low-end machines. The only thing I would never use is Manjaro. The reason is a simple one: it's information collection practices are far worse than Ubuntu. There are examples of people setting up their VPNs only to find data leaks seemingly hardcoded. Not only that, but their community is more toxic than anything I have seen from arch or the BSD community. I would trust Microsoft more than this distro. Stay away!

  • manjaro is great for so many reasons but maybe one of the best things in manjaro is the package manager that works so well and it has many apps already in its repository but in last case u can still install flatpak snap or aur… it is just awesome

  • I have been using a dual boot with Kubuntu and win10 for years. I had a
    triple boot for a short period with Elementary OS but I never really
    played around with EleOS much so I got rid of it when I upgraded to
    Kubuntu 18. 18 seemed smooth until an update several months(like 8
    months) in and it crashed. So about 2 months ago I tried to upgrade
    again to Kubuntu 20.04.1 and again was amazing until last week with a
    system update and it first started dragging everything, when i realized
    it had somehow removed my Nvidia driver and wouldn't reconnect to it no
    matter what i tried. Now I get grub like line and can't boot into 20.04
    even after trying to reload it with a live usb. I say all that to ask
    what is different about this KDE version from Kubuntu, I have never used
    Manjaro but i hear its Arch base is more stable.. is that true?

  • Manjaro Cinnamon is the best version for Desktop PCs and Manjaro OpenBox is the best for an old laptop…. 🙂 Get the best one.

  • Zoran Ilijic says:

    Pleaseeee, tell me how can i install graphic driver for intel graphic 620 and amd radeon 530. I want to switch on Manjaro so hard, but cant find these driver anywhere

  • Mike Good says:

    1 reason I didn't use manjaro

    MY FUCKING WIFI PEN WORKS WITH UBUNTU/DEBIAN BASED DISTROS AND HATES ARCH BASED ONE

  • Dude the green manjaro theme has been burned into my brain

  • Alpaca Male says:

    Simple, The compositor is more mature than Picom and better than the default compositor on XFCE and GNOME

  • Nom says:

    I wish they'd drop KDE, it's a useless DE which always freezes. The apps dont use concurrency well enough. There are just tasks that I cannot do, which I can in Gnome.

  • can I install adobe programs??

  • can I run adobe programs in it???

  • Manjaro is definitely my favourite distro so far -I've been running it for quite a while now. KDE Plasma, of course, is gorgeous -it's so adaptable, so powerful!
    But Pamac is the bee's knees -fantastic. The Manjaro repos, the AUR, AppImage, Flatpak, Snap -all available at a click, on an opt-in basis and clearly labelled.
    10/10

  • Can I record my screen with KDE?,GNOME version doesn’t allow me to record my screen

  • Best Plasma experience with best linux distro.
    Manjaro KDE is the best out there. I pay all my respect to Manjaro and Arch team for giving us a great linux experience.

  • Phillip says:

    I liked it and this was the second time I had tried it, but as with the first time, it started to go wrong wiht the first week. It stopped opening programmes was the main issue. A copy of Libra office simply disappeared one morning. Sadly I find it very 'nervous'. Back to Linux Mint, again, never let me down.

  • The G in Gnome is silent and it drives me crazy that so many people pronounce the G

  • Manjaro doesnt work that well on my 4k tv

  • Manjaro have a way of making there systems look refined and nice but for me if I'm using a kde desktop I prefer to use Open Mandriva 4.2😳 yep you heard correct Open Mandriva😉 and what an improvement it is to 4.1

  • It's not able to detect 5G wifi. Tried the Gnome and Xfce as well. Same problem. All I can see are 2.4 wifi in the area. I installed it on my 2011 Macbook Pro. What do I need to do?

  • Noruzenchi86 says:

    i've had consistent issues with trying to log out/restart the OS where after going out of the logout confirmation, it simply goes back and does nothing for maybe a minute or never, and I have to end up turning off my PC by powering it off for 5 seconds because it wouldn't even do anything when trying to go logout a second time because it hasn't done anything.

  • Aniket Sawji says:

    It is the best …. Distro …
    But don't use it if yoy have low end device .
    It will work flawless at beginning …but over time it will slow down significantly .
    Its updates are glitchy many times

  • What a bullshit bla-bla ….nothing essential..

  • First time around I went with KDE but I recently installed Manjaro with xfce and holy shit, it's really damn good. Incredibly fast and responsive

  • ElGreco365 says:

    Used XFCE for years. I only need low resources consumption, windows titling and no tearing in video playing. Since I have an old HD3000 GPU in my notebook, I am glad KDE supports Wayland, which let's me enjoy videos without tearing. However I face that font rending it is as nice and shiny like in my old XUbuntu 16.04.

  • J Garbo says:

    Fast but problems: Dependencies, spellcheck with Zim, Kate. Login screen 24hr time format. (Linux user since 1995 so I tried everything). went back to Kubuntu 20.04.1, everything works.

  • De Mus says:

    08:58 Double click is so 1990's when people didn't know any better. From the first computer I used with a mouse (Windows 3.1) I had single click and will never have it differently. So much more relaxing that that nervous double-click.
    You show a dreadful dark theme. No idea why people want a dark theme. I always have it as light as possible, so much better to read.
    Not to comment, just saying different people like different things.

    9:40 You added MS office on line? Why not jump to Windows then? Why are you even using a Linux distro, or better put, why you want to talk about it cause I know you don't use it, you only install it to create this video.

  • Have you ever tried Garuda Linux ? Think is based on Manjaro you should like it 🙂

  • MrApplewine says:

    Debian testing unstable mix with KDE Plasma is a good setup too. I suspect that would be very similar to Manjaro with KDE Plasma, but with more binaries, so you don't have to build packages which can take a very long time.

  • Shaunak Basu says:

    I have been playing with Solus 4.2 for the last couple days. It has one of the most polished and professional looking desktop for the new user. It is one of the very rare desktops where you won't find any appearing as a sore thumb (visually). But yeah – since it is built from grounds up – the apps are very limited. But for a home user – there is more than enough.

  • Eric Toledo says:

    Help installed manjaro but no internet after restarting.

  • Vinnie Davis says:

    switching from XFCE

  • KDE is always king of customization. But, Manjaro KDE is visually pleasing out of the box.

  • JC Denton says:

    I think you swayed me to Manjaro on this one. As long as Cinnamon and Budgie are on it I might use Manjaro. Was going to go Mint because I know it every DE I want to try .

  • I'm a new Linux user, and just saying, I come from Pop!_OS and holy God, Manjaro has better temps for me.

  • Recently switched my daily driver to this product, so far so good too although Mint was a more complete solution.

  • Lost Buddha says:

    good you are back with linux reviews!

  • Andy says:

    Manjaro KDE is my daily driver. I've never went back to Windows again!

  • Ganas más con subtítulos disponibles, no importa que sea en inglés. Gracias.

  • I have chosen KDE Manjaro and it is very good interface and interface looks like windows 10. It also looks very good for desktop

  • donut seller says:

    I love KDE but idk why …but i use Gnome

  • InfinitelyGalatic – would you suggest we install directly as an operating system, or install a type 1 ' bare metal' hypervisor like Proxmox first and install onto Proxmox as a virtual machine? I want to be able to run Windows also as a virtual machine alongside Manjaro.
