Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

I have been using Linux for last 10 years and try all distros and DE and I'm keep on comming back to Monjaro Cinnamon. I have notice that the DE plays a huge roll and have found Manjaro Kde and Gnome had way more issues than the Cinnamon DE.

There was some upgrade issues in the past but must say Manjaro Cinnimon have been so stable for the last couple of major releases.

Interested to find out if other users have also experience more instability between the different DE versions?

Can't wait to see what Manjaro is going to to with Cosmic DE think it is going to be a game changer

I reviewed maybe 30 distributions in the top 100. Manjaro is still the most stable.
You don't need to do anything after installation. The optimizations are very successful. You don't get any errors. The theme pack and wallpapers have excellent aesthetics. but it's been the same for years. I think the design aesthetics should change without losing its originality. I'm still using xfce. The best option for manjaro is xfce. according to me.
2 years ago Linux Mint was more performant on my hardware. Manjaro has surpassed it. I don't understand why cachy os is perfect. A good distribution, yes, but it was no different from the others. I like manjaro's xfce configuration.

Manjaro is simple to install, and simple to use. Has plenty of links to online help if needed, and the software centre is very good too.
Its based on Arch so is really fast, has the latest and best software, and finding drivers is just as simple as opening up the centre and searching for it.
I'm using it as my daily driver, both for gaming, and for daily work.

I've had no issues at all using Manjaro, and am always surprised when others do and don't see their questions on the forums, the forums being a friendly place full of helpful people btw.

Overall I would recommend Manjaro to anyone who wants a fat memory efficient OS.

Well done Manjaro team, you've got a happy user here.
