I don't like the green folders and could not find any way to change them to some other color, although the gnome box in the upper right corner where your wifi, sound, shut down buttons are located would change colors when you picked ligh/dark, and color scheme, thats the only thing that changes, nothing else. Second, their repositories do not contain some of the programs I was using. Seems like a solid OS, I didn't have any crashes, but not a big fan of the rolling releases. In Linux Mint, for example you can let the updater know that you don't want to be reminded of certain updates. For example, some of your programs work just fine as is, so you don't want to risk breaking them with an update. In Mint, you can do that. I don't want to just pick on Manjaro for that as other distros have the same restrictions. I wish they would include more repositories for installing programs. Was this review helpful?

I've used the KDE Desktop in a bunch of different Distro's including Manjaro and I like it, but the Cinn desktop just flows better, at least in my opinion. It's still an arch distro at the end of the day but Manjaro is stable. It feels smooth and has been solid. I've had some dependency issues with trying to used different programs here and there, like VLC compared so something else and then Remmina, which has caused me to use a different VNC program but over all, it's been solid. NordVPN, Steam, Shortwave and everything else seems to be working just fine. Was this review helpful?

Manjaro has been the best distro after install Manjaro had all the hardware on my Asus ROG Zepherus 14G running perfectly out of the box. It's been fast and stable and even dealt with the Nvidia 4070 RTX on this notebook. Just an FYI I installed Mint, Cachy, Ubuntu, Fedora even MX Linux and many others. MX Linux was the closest to running as well as Manjaro but still didn't support the newer 2024 14G as well as Manjaro. However I really enjoyed the speed of MX Linux. Tried MX Linux on my Wife computer too but she didn't notice a difference in speed compared to Manjaro and seemed to really enjoy the Gnome and Manjaro better. She using a 2012 Macbook Pro and loves it! Glad Linux has matured a ton since the late 90's and early 2000's when I used to play with it. Now it's become my daily driver! Was this review helpful?
