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 am running an old server as a daily driver.
So only a very limited onboard vga HD by default. so I needed a GPU. I have an Nvidia gtx 1050.
Only a select few distros would even show a GUI on boot. I went from one live distro to another trying to find the best suit.
MX, pop and Manjaro were the best at detection and autoconfigure the GPU.

But manjaro/KDE was the best in other ways. It ran my bluetooth better, it allows flatpacks and AUR with a click and all the packages are several versions ahead of the others.

I have tried manjaro before but it really is the best now.

I usually use Arch but after installing and tyring to get the wayland to use may GPU card for hours and then Bluetooth for hours, for what? to try to get is as good as manjaro?

As a total noob in Linux land, I can say that I'm surprised about how polished this distro feels. I run Manjaro KDE on a 10 year old laptop whiteout any problems. Updating goes fine here, despite some reactions from other users who had problems. It rather feels kinda boring because I haven't got any trouble, lol. Couldn't say that from WIN...

RAM consumption is low and most of the packages are pre-installed. Installing additional packages is easy with pamac GUI.

My laptop only uses intel graphics which works well out of the box. For people who are scared of a rolling release version and the "Arch-thing", I would advice waiting a day or two to perform the update, after the update appears on your screen.

Or read the forum announcement about the update.

You have haters and lovers, but I think Manjaro is a great distro for all sorts of people. Beginner and longtime users. Especially the KDE version. I think it is the most polished one from all distro's but that's my opinion.

My 2 cents

Manjaro Linux is a popular Linux distribution that offers many advantages. One of its main positive points is its ease of use. Thanks to its user-friendly installer and intuitive user interface, even computer novices can adopt it without much difficulty. In addition, Manjaro Linux benefits from an active community that provides excellent support and regular updates, ensuring system stability and security.

Another major advantage of Manjaro Linux is its compatibility with many software applications. It benefits from an extensive software repository, which makes it easy to install and update applications. In addition, through its use of the XFCE, KDE Plasma or GNOME desktop environment, Manjaro Linux offers an elegant and customizable interface, thus meeting the needs and preferences of each user.

However, despite its many advantages, Manjaro Linux also has a few drawbacks. First, due to its Arch Linux-based nature, it can sometimes be unstable or experience hardware compatibility issues. While the Manjaro community is working hard to resolve these issues, it is important to note that this distribution may not be suitable for users looking for an extremely stable and reliable solution.

In addition, although Manjaro Linux offers a wide selection of software, there may be delays in the availability of the latest versions of applications. Therefore, if you need to access the latest features or work with specific software, you may need to look for alternative solutions or seek to install the desired software using other methods.

In conclusion, Manjaro Linux is a user-friendly and powerful Linux distribution, suitable for beginners and advanced users alike. Its ease of use, active community and wide range of software make it an attractive choice for many users. However, it is important to keep in mind possible stability and hardware compatibility issues as well as possible delays in the availability of the latest software versions.
