Great video Matt. I think you gave Manjaro a reasonably long test drive and your review seemed fair. Manjaro is a top-shelf product and you showed respect to the devs with a pro-quality review. Your 1-month format is much better than the usual 5-minute quickie inside a virtual box that most LinuxToobers do.
@@glidersuzuki5572 What Shawn said. Pamac is the GUI and CLI package manager of Manjaro and comes with the default installation. And it supports the AUR at default. So yay or paru are not necessary and would be just bloating the system.
@@warnaoh That is nonsense. Manjaro is a good distribution. The point is, installing an additional AUR helper is useless in Manjaro, because it comes with the support builtin.
I've noticed different Linux Distributions work differently on different machines, out of the box. And that might impact one's experience, which I think is a fair thing to say. I daily drive Manjaro on both my PC and my Macbook Pro and never had any issues. But that was after I tried a few other distros which had issues until I settled on Manjaro. While I never bothered to go back to a distro that had issues and still have bad bias towards said distros, I'm glad you reviewed Manjaro without much bias even after experiencing issues with KWin initially.
Fairly mind blown by Manjaro, everything seems to work reliably for me. I stuck the KDE Plasma version on my new gaming machine with Steam, put the ARM version on my Pinebook Pro and the XFCE version on a 12 year old i3 with 6gb ram and just a tiny video card (okay I did just stick a cheap kingston SDD to make it snappier) and it's now doing great! There's a certain charm for me with Manjaro now, I don't think I could be comfortable with other distro. Thanks for doing this video, I can tell you are unbiased and careful with your reviews.
Manjaro XFCE was my first venture into Arch. I liked it. I've tried Arco but it is information overload. Too may aliases and too many themes, use Meld, don't use Meld and it keeps going. I'm retired and enjoy vanilla Arch, just taking my time and getting it set up my way and only my way. TLDR: I enjoy plain Jane Arch. With a touch of the AUR.
Using arcolinux on my little thinkpad. Its great. I like having the ability to switch desktops and themes at an instant. Might go into arch linux fully and setup my own system eventually tho.
Nice review and well timed for me! I'm about to install it on my new computer build later today when I get back home (running PopOS on my current one). I miss Manjaro. It was a fun distro when I last used it, but I kept having issues with NVidia drivers that just kept driving me crazy so I ended up moving to PopOS which handles NVidia much better for me. Now moving back to Manjaro on the new computer with an AMD graphics card so I won't have those issues anymore. I liked seeing a more in-depth review of it from someone who's coming from another Arch based distro. It's a good perspective to have on it. It looks like Manjaro has come a long way since I last used it too.
I Dual Boot on different drives, began my migration from W10 to Manjaro KDE since July, so far I'm very happy with it. Most of my Steam games work fine, a tiny handful don't work with GNU/Linux. Currently I'm trying to get REHD, RE0HD & RER2 to work then I can move onto the older non - Steam Games. I've tried to move my iPod over witch I've had no luck with so far. Discovering GNU/Linux has made PCs enjoyable again👍🏻.
Hey man I think you forgot to mention that you can switch to manjaro unstable, which means that you get packages as soon as they are available on the arch repos. It's just that this behaviour is not the default, but it's available.
15:35 if you're talking about the steam-native-runtime package is not that it's provided by steam, it changes the behavior of steam to use native system libraries (and that's why it has a lot of dependencies) so you're not using the steam built-in libraries You can also do that on the normal steam package using the STEAM_RUNTIME=0 flag, but again, you need to have the dependencies
I tried out Arco, Garuda, and others during my last round of system rebuilds, but currently I am back on Manjaro. I particularly like having available commands like mhwd-kernel, as it makes it easy for me to easily install different kernels concurrently. Generally I install the latest mainline, stable, and longterm kernels, for example. That has saved me more than once when there was a regression in the latest kernel, for instance. I'm currently using Manjaro Budgie, since like you, I was having too many stability problems with Plasma, unfortunately. That all said, and as mentioned in another comment, if you did want the latest KDE, you could have switched to the unstable branch of Manjaro, which syncs up with the Arch repos a couple times a day. I personally run the testing branch on all of my machines. That branch sits between the stable (default) branch and the unstable branch with respect to update frequency.
Matt, I couldn't agree with your review more, I had a friend, who had a old computer, and he asked me what version of Linux he should install on it. I suggested Manjaro xfce and it's been happily using it ever since. As with any version of Arch Linux you can do whatever you want to do it's just a matter of how much time you want to invest in doing it.
I have solved the bias problem by using Manjaro,Endeavour and Arco on my machines and I love all three of them,two are on laptops and Manjaro KDE is on my desktop. All three run fine without any stability worries and each as it's pro's and con's. Good video Matt and I look forward to your other Arch based vid's.
I do agree Arco is the best of the arch distro . I have an iMac 14,2 and i tried some distro (based debian) and also arch including Manjaro. The experience most of them popup on installation very nice with the nouveau module for the Nvidia graphic side but some of them would stuck the display on the first start and no option to build the iso including the propriety driver. I have managed to build iso with arco iso and scripts and to install 3 arch customs with different DE. I love the tons updates daily from them that my system is always on top and honestly i haven't exp pb with stability. I feel arco/arch is an a very flexible /aerated distro in terms of software comparing to the tons of bloated with restrictions of using software distro as ubuntu, kde neon, mxlinux even manjaro....
I have daily driving Manjaro Stable on laptop for a month now. It has also been my first exposure to AUR and I am hooked. yay -S somepackage has worked flawlessly every time
Very helpful and well done video. I recently switched from Windows to Linux and Manjaro is the Arch distro I am using. I'm using Linux Mint on another machine, but I prefer Manjaro. Keep doing these videos!
I've been a fan of KDE for some time now. Before, I used Debian. Starting with an EXTREMELY brief 6.0 (squeeze) followed by the more memorable Wheezy (7.0) and being around for 8.0 (Jessie) before taking my hiatus from Debian to a derivative, PureOS, I now am thinking of doing Manjaro. Starting with Wheezy I put KDE on everything I used. I think I like the KDE approach. Enough so that I considered KUBUNTU for Ubuntu, as well as KDE Neon. So I hope I will fit with Manjaro. Edit: I forgot to mention that the PinePhone Pro is a HUGE reason why.
best implementations of KDE I found after some distrohopping are Neon and Tumbleweed. Especially the latter is like better manjaro for me. Fresh software, but much better system, less 'enthusiast' more 'professional' vibe from it.
I run Manjaro Cinnamon full-time. It's my favorite DE, as I find it is a beautiful middle ground between XFCE and Plasma. I just stuck with Manjaro because I wanted Arch minus a clunky install experience that I wouldn't screw up if I feel if I need to do a reinstall. It just works, and that's all I need.
For a few years I liked that Manjaro is up to date for the most part. A few weeks or even a month is not a lot to wait for the newest updates. Also, for the most part, it comes precunfigured the way I would want my system to be configured. You can actually open the pamac settings and enable the AUR. Also, pretty easy to add flatpak support. Comes with timeshift and auto-snap. With btrfs it's so easy to have automatic backups and just choose a restore point on the grub menu. It's fast and easy. If an update breaks your system, rollback. The kernel manager is awesome. Keep an lts kernel as backup. Nvidia drivers and the GUI are preinstalled. Pamac is really easy to use. I actually like that Manjaro doesn't have daily updates because it keeps downloads low and saves data. But ultimately, I had to stop using it. 1. Horrible forums. Everyone is super condescending. Manjaro can never do wrong. Not noob friendly. You are the problem, not the OS. Or your machine is the problem, OS is perfectly fine. 2. Manjaro is a company. Now, I don't like Ubuntu for the same reason. They will always put profit over community. And I really don't know if that's what's happening with Manjaro, but the answers from the devs on the forums is super corporate. Keeping a lot secret. For example, I really wanted to have the newest KDE release because on a laptop gestures are really useful. They held it back for months. I could try to go point by point but it really was just excuses. 3. Somehow doesn't come preconfigured to unlock keyring on login. You have to install another package, mess with some files just so vscode can save your GitHub login credentials. 4. More of a hardware thing but it would have problems with a drawing pad I have. 5. The big one. Updates break your system so aften. So there is a few points to this one. Sometimes the system just broke everything and that's not really a problem because it does come with timeshift. But there is some things that just cant be fixed easily. Pamac sometimes just refuses to update AUR packages. It also sometimes uses AUR packages instead of their repos making it so you end up with a bunch of AUR packages. It goes with the newest package and so it starts using AUR packages. And sometimes, it just won't build AUR packages for one reason or another. This is the main reason I stopped using it. You start working around the problems instead of just using your machine.
I used to distro hop quite abit but since I found Manjaro and being abit of a noob I reckon it is not only the best arch based distro but the best distro hands down.
I wish I could be able to install Bricscad on Manjaro. Other than that - I love it. I consider myself a new user although I have been using Linux Mint since 2006. I prefer Mate Desktop so when I saw Manjaro Community Distro I had to try it. Needles to say that I have seen and read about Arch and everyone seem to say that no real Linux user would stay with Mint so long and not try Arch. So, I am definitely one to give an opinion that should be seriously taken by anyone. Your video ( I am watching your video for the first time ) is great. I like your sincere explanations. You come across as a very honest straight shooter. Thanks, I enjoyed it.
I used slack years ago, suse, manjaro, then stayed with Ubuntu based distros, and Ubuntu... But a month ago I switched to try Manjaro again... keeping it. Runs so much better for me it is night and day. Not sure if they did something great for Nvidia, or what... but it runs flawless. I haven't seen any errors of any kind. Everything just runs perfect.
I used it about a month too-- and will KEEP it on my VENTOY-- I change around every so often. I only had ONE issue with it- and it was an upgrade that I think maybe have been a bit too new for my equipment-- but wasn't hard to fix. (and I'm NOT an arch guy)
You click the "DOWNLOAD" button at the right corner of the site. There are four ISOs to choose from. If you are new, choose ArcoLinuxL. It is the biggest one and has the most software. It installs xfce on default but it allows you to add desktop environment like KDE or Gnome.
One of your best videos Matt. Nice too that you got through it without being sweary on this one!!! I've tried Manjaro a few times but never was overly impressed. Giving the Budgie version a spin and so far so good. Do bear in mind, even Manjaro say it ISN'T Arch! I'll keep with it for a month or two, as I really like Budgie DE, be it Ubuntu Budgie, MB, or Solus. Solus in my view is the best rolling release and scores highly on stability . When I use Arch derivatives I try to use the AUR sparingly. This makes me * feel* slightly more confident. Is my caution overstated?
Manjaro is very good for high beginners and low intermediates. But just about anyone can get in over their head if they turn to the AUR without proper forethought
Great review.. On my main desktop PC for the past 3 years I dual boot Manjaro KDE and Zorin OS.. I use each one regularly because I like what each distro offers.. and because of that I have no desire to try other distros.. Each of my systems are set-up, customized & themed to how I like and for daily drivers they just work.. I don't engage in their forums so the so called attitude of Manjaro devs is meaningless to me.. I simply don't care about it.. I think Manjaro is a great distro, but I am baised ! A late comment on an oldish video... just thought I chime a comment in.
On Manjaro XFCE currently gaming is going fine: WoW, Steam, and FF14 trial launcher installed. I did get some gaming done on Manjaro KDE Steam DOTA2 and a couple epic games. Am on my 4th distro. Arch would love to try that one &/ Garuda once I feel more comfortable. Kept Win11 (debloated) for if I need something but am getting the stability I need. One thing I did like was Manjaro KDE had 165hz support for my 1440p monitor and I have 144hz support on XFCE haven't quite figured out how to enable 165. Went from Mint Cinnamon to XFCE to Manjaro XFCE & KDE for my rigs. I miss the look of KDE. The goal am hoping if I can get anything I want to play and migrating media library over. Steam was super easy to setup in Manjaro.
Matt: Just keep your brain in your head. Me: Oh, good idea! I was just about to take it out. :P Seriously, though, I've been using Manjaro for over 18 months, and only recently did I switch one of my machines to EndeavourOS, so now I can compare two Arch-based distros. Both have customizations to help the new user. For example, in Manjaro the shell is zsh by default and (I didn't notice this until I compared it to EOS) it comes with some really good hard-coded defaults, like auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and you can delete whole words with Ctrl plus Backspace. In EOS, the shell is plain bash, which means to get something like what Manjaro has you have to install zsh and oh my zsh plugins. On the other hand, EOS i3 intially looks more like a desktop environment, whereas Manjaro i3 is a full on twm. It's hard to tell which one is "easier" for new users. Anyway, glad you enjoyed Manjaro more this time around, Matt!
16:00 same happens with me too, I don't play games at all but when I open some applications for my work it does sounds like an aircraft. But the cpu usage is normal, performance too. I couldn't figure out from htop either if anything in the background causing that.
8th year rolling on same manjaro install here, I keep it coz I always manage to fix it, recent enough, rarely get a problem in AUR or chaotic-repo (lately paru and older libc6) would recomend.
15:50 sounds like an uncapped framerate, try enabling some cap or V-Sync in the game's setting or use some utility limit it like what SteamOS's Game Mode does.
It was my first and last distro. Main Driver won't be replaced. Been using Arcolinux on laptop cause you can use any distro whenever you want. Garuda was straight bloat & broken.
I prefer Arco to Manjaro, but I can't, for the life of me, get Arco to boot from my main machine after install (live drive works fine). I've tried everything, every drive partition scheme and EFI configuration. It's the only distro I've had this issue with and I've used Calamares many times with no issues. I know I like Arco because I've tested it extensively in a VM, so I was really excited to make it my daily driver. Anyway, I'm using Manjaro now so I guess it's better for the simple fact I can get it to boot.
VM is a different story and has no significance in your real world installation to bare metal. Because VM virtualize a set of old vanilla standard and proven components. Every distro will work under VM.
In about 3 years with Manjaro, I have had trouble with unstable/disfunctional software or package conflicts about ten times allover, which lasted between some days and some weeks until they where fixed (In one case it actually where months, with the libvirt library disabling storage access for VMs!). Pretty annoyjng, and way more than I had on the Debians based OSs I was using before. And, yeah: 7 updates in a week is really rare. Usually there are multiple dozens a week. Btw: AUR covers about 75% of the hundreds of applications I have installed, which is great, but: Atm I feel like pacman and pamac will be the reason for me to go back to Debianoids .. Wished I had ever found a Linux community that actually HAS support.. Normally about 90% of my questions go completely unanswered, because no one wants or no one knows how to help )I use a huge lot of generally rarely used software).I consider support for Linux as not existing, no matter which distro.
Ok so guys that proton thing that games will not launch no matter what version of plasma you use. That is because steam is dumb and forgets to install a package that contains all the vc redist and additionals that are required for you to play games. its called steams redistribution something or other but yeh that is a steam thing. You could have troubleshooted steam on arco and it could have worked in my opinion but idk. P.S. in my case i was unable to open witcher 1 or any other games i had on heroic launcher with proton but once i installed witched 3 steam downloaded an additional package after which even witcher 1 and every other game was working lol.
my primary distro is gentoo with mint being second. I would have no objections to arch except... 99% of what I want to use is in AUR and i absolutely will not ever install any package from AUR. I dont even use gentoo overlays unless its a dire emergency (almost never).
I've seen a problem where Manjaro boots to a blank screen because of a bug involving updates and the proprietary Nvidia driver which prevents LightDM from working. It can be fixed by switching TTY, uninstalling the Nvidia driver, rebooting and reinstalling the Nvidia driver from the Manjaro Settings Manager.
What is that system info display that you have in your terminal? It’s not neofetch, and it look like it printed to your terminal when you opened it. Unless it was minimized (or whatever TWM users call minimized lol).
Manjaro in a nutshell: - Turns out to hate it's own community - a surprise for me as well. See a video called "Manjaro And Its Developers Can Kiss My A**" and you know what I mean. - They steal code. Again, that same video. - Things break very often (my experience), while this is not the case in Arch. Mostly because Pamac does not handle certain situations well enough. It forces you to remove packages that you don't want to remove and where they are not needed to be removed. - Does not work well with AUR, because Manjaro's software versions are older and this gives issues with AUR packages. Example: Virtualbox Extension package.
Thanks for the video, I used ubuntu studio for a few years, about 4, 5 months ago I switched to manjaro, I do music production and I'm happy with the performance.... but there are two bugs that bother me, 1st when starting the pc cadence and jack stopped working, I have to call cadence and do start..... 2nd in the system configuration when I want to install new icons or themes when getting new ones, it says unknown error from the open collaborative services API.... Big hug from Portugal and God Bless You 🙏✌
I love Arco linux, I had a version where everything just worked. No problem at all. But then i did a system update, and alot of games in steam stopped working. So, I did a timeshift reset,. I ran the working version for a while, then i updated again,. Same resolt So i did another timeshift reset. And everything worked fine. So i ran Arco wirthout updating for a year. And then i just had to update, because i feal you cant go on a roling release for a year and not update. So i updated and expected my system to crash. It did not crash, But i had the same problem. Games stopped working. So, i went to Manjaro. And almost everything works. And i discovered that Arco made a script to make arco settngs and the arch tweak tool work with alot of distros. I got it working, And now i run Manjaro but it looks more like Arco.
Manjaro is somewhat boring. Which is why I have been running it on my main system for a year now. No issues whatsoever. Got Arco on my main laptop. Some hiccups here and there, but happy with it. My personal fav OpenSUSE Tumbleweed I run on my second desktop pc. Also mostly painless for about 2 years now.
@@rishirajsaikia1323 Mostly just that it feels a little different. And YAST is awesome. It does sometimes muck up dependencies, but never broke anything. Usually just wait a day or three and they got it sorted. Currently playing around with Manjaro i3 on my thinkpad. Pretty decent distro that too.
I know Manjaro has this kernel app that lets you manage different versions of the kernel with ease. On ubuntu and at least another distro I used, you could pick a kernel from the boot menu. In other words, you had to manually uninstall the linux [kernel] package, and you could always revert to a previous kernel by choosing it from the boot menu. Can someone tell me if vanilla arch lets you do this? Is that a grub thing? I'm a little confused on how that works. And if you CAN switch kernels from the boot menu, is there some advantage to the Manjaro kernel app?
I'm using manjaro now, pamac is an asshole to be honest, I can't update the applications in it without my computer freezing up. So I don't touch it, I'm going to test another distro in a couple of weeks or a month. I just need an extra graphics card so that I can pass it through in a vm.
I m not an appreciater of the arch branch of linux in general. Having arch is like having a nagging wife always wanting trending updates and lots of attention or she'll breakup with u. A normal user like me want to do his work and not just to tend to my OS needs all the time. Debian based distros are what works for me. Running arch based distros breaks so much that all my time is wasted troubleshooting them. I think for developers involved on cutting edge technology arch may be the answer but we need to accept it that most users are not so inclined to debug their OS all the time. I mean for instance I come home from a trip and what do I see opening my PC ..........A LOT OF CONFLICTS OD PACKAGE ON UPDATE. WTH this is absurd. I want to edit my videos and not spent my time with OS. Guys who like me want a stable, performing, handsome Linux distro GO FOR LINUX MINT DEBIAN EDITION, MX LINUX, ZORIN, UBANTU, PEPPERMINT ETC. MAY BE FEDORA TOO!!!!!!!

Manjaro is fine but I prefere Garuda KDE due to the cool system tweaks. Arco is okay but their website is beyond evil. Probably the most confusing site on the internet.
My personal favorite Arch Based distro is StormOS. handles my games which are important to me without a lot of work by me. Just install the dependencies for World of Warcraft and I am good to go. Arco has the best install process out of ANY distro I have ever encountered,,,EVER. New comers StormOS for sure,,, long time arch or linux Arco!! My opinions. You mentioned the updates and in my experience 4 updates per month was fine for every arch I have had. I never really gave Endeavor a long go because I simply didnt like it at all. Garuda played my games but took more work. I love your video's and look forward to them. DT , Yourself and CrisTitus are the BOMB!!! :) GOD bless man,,, take care and see ya in the next video!!
@@kavishlinux well, that's about the same as installing Arch. is it worth it? personally, i dont know. if you choose an Arch spin, it's probably because you don't want to install it manually... at least, that's the idea.
@@sharktooh76 Personally i installed Manjaro over Arch because of the 2 week delay update not because it's easier to install. I also love mhwd and their kernel installer... There is plenty of reason you can choose Manjaro over pure Arch but you are right that the installer is the main one
@@kavishlinux well, sometimes Manjaro has more stability problems and with updates than vanilla arch or other derivated distros. it "should" be more stable, but lately the devs have made big mistakes, like forcing pipewire with broken packages for all or Wayland on Plasma... (i know coz I had Manjaro on my production PC). i was able to fix everything coz I'm a long time linux and arch user... but most people couldn't and the OS should not break so fast and easily. sadly the devs are not so friendly too... so you're left alone with a non working installation.
I've tried Manjaro many times on different systems and it never works quite right. I'm using manjaro right now and the bluetooth keeps turning itself off. Sometimes it's the wifi constantly losing connection. I'm about to trash this install and go with fedora where I know everything will work
An honest recommendation, lose weight and start working out. You are breathing heavily just sitting and talking. You are still very young. You should be at your prime. I liked your video about Manjaro. I like its looks. However, it kept crashing on my virtual machine. Kubuntu never gave me any issues.
Compared to the other reviews who just install and try out basic stuff and call it a review, this one using it 1 month as daily driver can be called long term review. Especially for a rolling release distro. What would you consider long term review? I mean, it is "just" a review, so you cannot expect people to review distributions as their main driver for a longer period of time. Don't forget, this is not just in a VM for a few hours testing default apps, this is a true daily driver replacement.
@@nevoyu No one does this as a daily driver, just to review a distribution. 1 year is not realistic and cannot be expected. 1 month daily driver as a review is more than enough and can be called long term.
Updates are delayed not bcs Manjaro team do something lmao. They literally do nothing. Read some comments or articles. Probably more info is wrong. Not worth watching..
2:45 - if the problem was not able to change resolution: bugs kde org - id 407058 - it's fixed in 5.24, Jesus this bug was reported 2019-04-29 and 5.24 was released 2022.02.08 KDE Plasma in terms of the number of bugs still sucks hard! Manjaro today has still Plasma 5.23.5 in stable branch - guess why...
The problem with changing the resolution in Virt-Manager is usually a driver problem. Be sure to change from the default QXL driver over to Virtio.

Fairly mind blown by Manjaro, everything seems to work reliably for me.

There's a certain charm for me with Manjaro now, I don't think I could be comfortable with other distro. Thanks for doing this video, I can tell you are unbiased and careful with your reviews.
Manjaro XFCE was my first venture into Arch. I liked it. I've tried Arco but it is information overload. Too may aliases and too many themes, use Meld, don't use Meld and it keeps going.
I'm retired and enjoy vanilla Arch, just taking my time and getting it set up my way and only my way.
TLDR: I enjoy plain Jane Arch. With a touch of the AUR.
I was like that at first too. I think arcolinuxd is the way to go.
Using arcolinux on my little thinkpad. Its great. I like having the ability to switch desktops and themes at an instant.
Might go into arch linux fully and setup my own system eventually tho.
This is such a great video overview, well done sir!
Nice review and well timed for me! I'm about to install it on my new computer build later today when I get back home (running PopOS on my current one). I miss Manjaro. It was a fun distro when I last used it, but I kept having issues with NVidia drivers that just kept driving me crazy so I ended up moving to PopOS which handles NVidia much better for me. Now moving back to Manjaro on the new computer with an AMD graphics card so I won't have those issues anymore.
I liked seeing a more in-depth review of it from someone who's coming from another Arch based distro. It's a good perspective to have on it. It looks like Manjaro has come a long way since I last used it too.
I Dual Boot on different drives, began my migration from W10 to Manjaro KDE since July, so far I'm very happy with it. Most of my Steam games work fine, a tiny handful don't work with GNU/Linux. Currently I'm trying to get REHD, RE0HD & RER2 to work then I can move onto the older non - Steam Games. I've tried to move my iPod over witch I've had no luck with so far. Discovering GNU/Linux has made PCs enjoyable again👍🏻.
Hey man I think you forgot to mention that you can switch to manjaro unstable, which means that you get packages as soon as they are available on the arch repos. It's just that this behaviour is not the default, but it's available.
I didn't even know that was a thing. I'll give it a look.
cool video it helped out a ton with starting out and composing my first soft
15:35 if you're talking about the steam-native-runtime package is not that it's provided by steam, it changes the behavior of steam to use native system libraries (and that's why it has a lot of dependencies) so you're not using the steam built-in libraries
You can also do that on the normal steam package using the STEAM_RUNTIME=0 flag, but again, you need to have the dependencies
I tried out Arco, Garuda, and others during my last round of system rebuilds, but currently I am back on Manjaro. I particularly like having available commands like mhwd-kernel, as it makes it easy for me to easily install different kernels concurrently. Generally I install the latest mainline, stable, and longterm kernels, for example. That has saved me more than once when there was a regression in the latest kernel, for instance. I'm currently using Manjaro Budgie, since like you, I was having too many stability problems with Plasma, unfortunately. That all said, and as mentioned in another comment, if you did want the latest KDE, you could have switched to the unstable branch of Manjaro, which syncs up with the Arch repos a couple times a day. I personally run the testing branch on all of my machines. That branch sits between the stable (default) branch and the unstable branch with respect to update frequency.
Great review, thanks for looking at KDE.
Matt, I couldn't agree with your review more, I had a friend, who had a old computer, and he asked me what version of Linux he should install on it. I suggested Manjaro xfce and it's been happily using it ever since. As with any version of Arch Linux you can do whatever you want to do it's just a matter of how much time you want to invest in doing it.
I've been running Manjaro KDE for a while and it the only one i've stuck with for a prolonged period. great content here.
I have solved the bias problem by using Manjaro,Endeavour and Arco on my machines and I love all three of them,two are on laptops and Manjaro KDE is on my desktop. All three run fine without any stability worries and each as it's pro's and con's. Good video Matt and I look forward to your other Arch based vid's.
I do agree Arco is the best of the arch distro . I have an iMac 14,2 and i tried some distro (based debian) and also arch including Manjaro. The experience most of them popup on installation very nice with the nouveau module for the Nvidia graphic side but some of them would stuck the display on the first start and no option to build the iso including the propriety driver. I have managed to build iso with arco iso and scripts and to install 3 arch customs with different DE. I love the tons updates daily from them that my system is always on top and honestly i haven't exp pb with stability. I feel arco/arch is an a very flexible /aerated distro in terms of software comparing to the tons of bloated with restrictions of using software distro as ubuntu, kde neon, mxlinux even manjaro....
I have daily driving Manjaro Stable on laptop for a month now. It has also been my first exposure to AUR and I am hooked. yay -S somepackage has worked flawlessly every time
Very helpful and well done video. I recently switched from Windows to Linux and Manjaro is the Arch distro I am using. I'm using Linux Mint on another machine, but I prefer Manjaro. Keep doing these videos!
I've been a fan of KDE for some time now. Before, I used Debian. Starting with an EXTREMELY brief 6.0 (squeeze) followed by the more memorable Wheezy (7.0) and being around for 8.0 (Jessie) before taking my hiatus from Debian to a derivative, PureOS, I now am thinking of doing Manjaro. Starting with Wheezy I put KDE on everything I used. I think I like the KDE approach. Enough so that I considered KUBUNTU for Ubuntu, as well as KDE Neon. So I hope I will fit with Manjaro. Edit: I forgot to mention that the PinePhone Pro is a HUGE reason why.
best implementations of KDE I found after some distrohopping are Neon and Tumbleweed. Especially the latter is like better manjaro for me. Fresh software, but much better system, less 'enthusiast' more 'professional' vibe from it.
I run Manjaro Cinnamon full-time. It's my favorite DE, as I find it is a beautiful middle ground between XFCE and Plasma. I just stuck with Manjaro because I wanted Arch minus a clunky install experience that I wouldn't screw up if I feel if I need to do a reinstall. It just works, and that's all I need.
For a few years I liked that Manjaro is up to date for the most part. A few weeks or even a month is not a lot to wait for the newest updates. Also, for the most part, it comes precunfigured the way I would want my system to be configured. You can actually open the pamac settings and enable the AUR. Also, pretty easy to add flatpak support. Comes with timeshift and auto-snap. With btrfs it's so easy to have automatic backups and just choose a restore point on the grub menu. It's fast and easy. If an update breaks your system, rollback. The kernel manager is awesome. Keep an lts kernel as backup. Nvidia drivers and the GUI are preinstalled. Pamac is really easy to use. I actually like that Manjaro doesn't have daily updates because it keeps downloads low and saves data.
But ultimately, I had to stop using it.
1. Horrible forums. Everyone is super condescending. Manjaro can never do wrong. Not noob friendly. You are the problem, not the OS. Or your machine is the problem, OS is perfectly fine.
2. Manjaro is a company. Now, I don't like Ubuntu for the same reason. They will always put profit over community. And I really don't know if that's what's happening with Manjaro, but the answers from the devs on the forums is super corporate. Keeping a lot secret. For example, I really wanted to have the newest KDE release because on a laptop gestures are really useful. They held it back for months. I could try to go point by point but it really was just excuses.
3. Somehow doesn't come preconfigured to unlock keyring on login. You have to install another package, mess with some files just so vscode can save your GitHub login credentials.
4. More of a hardware thing but it would have problems with a drawing pad I have.
5. The big one. Updates break your system so aften.
So there is a few points to this one.
Sometimes the system just broke everything and that's not really a problem because it does come with timeshift. But there is some things that just cant be fixed easily. Pamac sometimes just refuses to update AUR packages. It also sometimes uses AUR packages instead of their repos making it so you end up with a bunch of AUR packages. It goes with the newest package and so it starts using AUR packages. And sometimes, it just won't build AUR packages for one reason or another. This is the main reason I stopped using it. You start working around the problems instead of just using your machine.
I used to distro hop quite abit but since I found Manjaro and being abit of a noob I reckon it is not only the best arch based distro but the best distro hands down.
I wish I could be able to install Bricscad on Manjaro. Other than that - I love it. I consider myself a new user although I have been using Linux Mint since 2006. I prefer Mate Desktop so when I saw Manjaro Community Distro I had to try it. Needles to say that I have seen and read about Arch and everyone seem to say that no real Linux user would stay with Mint so long and not try Arch. So, I am definitely one to give an opinion that should be seriously taken by anyone. Your video ( I am watching your video for the first time ) is great. I like your sincere explanations. You come across as a very honest straight shooter. Thanks, I enjoyed it.
I used slack years ago, suse, manjaro, then stayed with Ubuntu based distros, and Ubuntu... But a month ago I switched to try Manjaro again... keeping it. Runs so much better for me it is night and day. Not sure if they did something great for Nvidia, or what... but it runs flawless. I haven't seen any errors of any kind. Everything just runs perfect.
I use Manjaro KDE as my daily driver and love it. For years just update :)
I used it about a month too-- and will KEEP it on my VENTOY-- I change around every so often. I only had ONE issue with it- and it was an upgrade that I think maybe have been a bit too new for my equipment-- but wasn't hard to fix. (and I'm NOT an arch guy)
I agree about the Arco website I wanted to try it out and didn't know where to start.
You click the "DOWNLOAD" button at the right corner of the site. There are four ISOs to choose from. If you are new, choose ArcoLinuxL. It is the biggest one and has the most software. It installs xfce on default but it allows you to add desktop environment like KDE or Gnome.
Another alternative, if you know what you are doing, is arcolinux alci-dev iso
One of your best videos Matt. Nice too that you got through it without being sweary on this one!!! I've tried Manjaro a few times but never was overly impressed. Giving the Budgie version a spin and so far so good. Do bear in mind, even Manjaro say it ISN'T Arch! I'll keep with it for a month or two, as I really like Budgie DE, be it Ubuntu Budgie, MB, or Solus.
Solus in my view is the best rolling release and scores highly on stability . When I use Arch derivatives I try to use the AUR sparingly. This makes me * feel* slightly more confident. Is my caution overstated?
I only swear on the podcast now. Mostly.
Manjaro is very good for high beginners and low intermediates. But just about anyone can get in over their head if they turn to the AUR without proper forethought
Great review.. On my main desktop PC for the past 3 years I dual boot Manjaro KDE and Zorin OS.. I use each one regularly because I like what each distro offers.. and because of that I have no desire to try other distros.. Each of my systems are set-up, customized & themed to how I like and for daily drivers they just work.. I don't engage in their forums so the so called attitude of Manjaro devs is meaningless to me.. I simply don't care about it.. I think Manjaro is a great distro, but I am baised ! A late comment on an oldish video... just thought I chime a comment in.
On Manjaro XFCE currently gaming is going fine: WoW, Steam, and FF14 trial launcher installed. I did get some gaming done on Manjaro KDE Steam DOTA2 and a couple epic games. Am on my 4th distro. Arch would love to try that one &/ Garuda once I feel more comfortable. Kept Win11 (debloated) for if I need something but am getting the stability I need. One thing I did like was Manjaro KDE had 165hz support for my 1440p monitor and I have 144hz support on XFCE haven't quite figured out how to enable 165. Went from Mint Cinnamon to XFCE to Manjaro XFCE & KDE for my rigs. I miss the look of KDE. The goal am hoping if I can get anything I want to play and migrating media library over. Steam was super easy to setup in Manjaro.
Matt: Just keep your brain in your head.
Me: Oh, good idea! I was just about to take it out. :P
Seriously, though, I've been using Manjaro for over 18 months, and only recently did I switch one of my machines to EndeavourOS, so now I can compare two Arch-based distros. Both have customizations to help the new user. For example, in Manjaro the shell is zsh by default and (I didn't notice this until I compared it to EOS) it comes with some really good hard-coded defaults, like auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and you can delete whole words with Ctrl plus Backspace. In EOS, the shell is plain bash, which means to get something like what Manjaro has you have to install zsh and oh my zsh plugins. On the other hand, EOS i3 intially looks more like a desktop environment, whereas Manjaro i3 is a full on twm. It's hard to tell which one is "easier" for new users. Anyway, glad you enjoyed Manjaro more this time around, Matt!
Manjaro is my daily driver on laptop and desktop
Very nice review.
Manjaro gnome remains the best gnome distro i have used till date,, absolutely awesome
16:00 same happens with me too, I don't play games at all but when I open some applications for my work it does sounds like an aircraft. But the cpu usage is normal, performance too. I couldn't figure out from htop either if anything in the background causing that.
(1) In "Edison" it would be possible to create and play Loops in Any Order we like. Example. Loops=(2, 6, 8, 1) or (12, 1, 3, 6.10,) and
8th year rolling on same manjaro install here, I keep it coz I always manage to fix it, recent enough, rarely get a problem in AUR or chaotic-repo (lately paru and older libc6) would recomend.
This looks good how did you get looking so good
Nice vid Matt.
Tgx for ur work
15:50 sounds like an uncapped framerate, try enabling some cap or V-Sync in the game's setting or use some utility limit it like what SteamOS's Game Mode does.
Have you ever tried Debian Sid? It would be interesting to see what you think about it.
It was my first and last distro. Main Driver won't be replaced.
Been using Arcolinux on laptop cause you can use any distro whenever you want.
Garuda was straight bloat & broken.
I prefer Arco to Manjaro, but I can't, for the life of me, get Arco to boot from my main machine after install (live drive works fine). I've tried everything, every drive partition scheme and EFI configuration. It's the only distro I've had this issue with and I've used Calamares many times with no issues. I know I like Arco because I've tested it extensively in a VM, so I was really excited to make it my daily driver.
Anyway, I'm using Manjaro now so I guess it's better for the simple fact I can get it to boot.
VM is a different story and has no significance in your real world installation to bare metal. Because VM virtualize a set of old vanilla standard and proven components. Every distro will work under VM.
Yeah we all love distros we can't actually install. LOL..
In about 3 years with Manjaro, I have had trouble with unstable/disfunctional software or package conflicts about ten times allover, which lasted between some days and some weeks until they where fixed (In one case it actually where months, with the libvirt library disabling storage access for VMs!). Pretty annoyjng, and way more than I had on the Debians based OSs I was using before.
And, yeah: 7 updates in a week is really rare. Usually there are multiple dozens a week.
Btw: AUR covers about 75% of the hundreds of applications I have installed, which is great, but:
Atm I feel like pacman and pamac will be the reason for me to go back to Debianoids ..
Wished I had ever found a Linux community that actually HAS support.. Normally about 90% of my questions go completely unanswered, because no one wants or no one knows how to help )I use a huge lot of generally rarely used software).I consider support for Linux as not existing, no matter which distro.
Ok so guys that proton thing that games will not launch no matter what version of plasma you use.
That is because steam is dumb and forgets to install a package that contains all the vc redist and additionals that are required for you to play games. its called steams redistribution something or other but yeh that is a steam thing. You could have troubleshooted steam on arco and it could have worked in my opinion but idk.
P.S. in my case i was unable to open witcher 1 or any other games i had on heroic launcher with proton but once i installed witched 3 steam downloaded an additional package after which even witcher 1 and every other game was working lol.
my primary distro is gentoo with mint being second. I would have no objections to arch except... 99% of what I want to use is in AUR and i absolutely will not ever install any package from AUR. I dont even use gentoo overlays unless its a dire emergency (almost never).
I've seen a problem where Manjaro boots to a blank screen because of a bug involving updates and the proprietary Nvidia driver which prevents LightDM from working. It can be fixed by switching TTY, uninstalling the Nvidia driver, rebooting and reinstalling the Nvidia driver from the Manjaro Settings Manager.
Hello, from germany. I luv manjaro. It is my daily driver.
What is that system info display that you have in your terminal? It’s not neofetch, and it look like it printed to your terminal when you opened it. Unless it was minimized (or whatever TWM users call minimized lol).
Manjaro in a nutshell:
- Turns out to hate it's own community - a surprise for me as well. See a video called "Manjaro And Its Developers Can Kiss My A**" and you know what I mean.
- They steal code. Again, that same video.
- Things break very often (my experience), while this is not the case in Arch. Mostly because Pamac does not handle certain situations well enough. It forces you to remove packages that you don't want to remove and where they are not needed to be removed.
- Does not work well with AUR, because Manjaro's software versions are older and this gives issues with AUR packages. Example: Virtualbox Extension package.
yay -S package to install from pacman base and AUR.
Thanks for the video, I used ubuntu studio for a few years, about 4, 5 months ago I switched to manjaro, I do music production and I'm happy with the performance.... but there are two bugs that bother me, 1st when starting the pc cadence and jack stopped working, I have to call cadence and do start..... 2nd in the system configuration when I want to install new icons or themes when getting new ones, it says unknown error from the open collaborative services API.... Big hug from Portugal and God Bless You 🙏✌
The first thing to do after installing Manjaro: 'sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable'
What? Then why Manjaro? Vanilla Arch will be fine. I like the delay and testing approach of Manjaro.
@@catchnkill I also like the delay and testing approach of manjaro.
I prefer Garuda out of all the shrink wrapped Arch solutions.
I love Arco linux, I had a version where everything just worked. No problem at all. But then i did a system update, and alot of games in steam stopped working. So, I did a timeshift reset,. I ran the working version for a while, then i updated again,. Same resolt So i did another timeshift reset. And everything worked fine. So i ran Arco wirthout updating for a year. And then i just had to update, because i feal you cant go on a roling release for a year and not update. So i updated and expected my system to crash. It did not crash, But i had the same problem. Games stopped working.
So, i went to Manjaro. And almost everything works. And i discovered that Arco made a script to make arco settngs and the arch tweak tool work with alot of distros. I got it working, And now i run Manjaro but it looks more like Arco.
Appreciate your review. I was increasingly bored with the drive-by reviews I see from various UA-camrs just to boost Likes.
Admittedly, I do those too. Not often, but they do so well kinda can't help it. Though I don't call them reviews, that'd be horrble
Mike, you da bomb.
Manjaro is somewhat boring. Which is why I have been running it on my main system for a year now. No issues whatsoever.
Got Arco on my main laptop. Some hiccups here and there, but happy with it.
My personal fav OpenSUSE Tumbleweed I run on my second desktop pc. Also mostly painless for about 2 years now.
Do you mean by "boring" that it is really stable ?
@@rishirajsaikia1323 That is indeed my experience. Been running Manjaro on my main PC for about a year and have had no issues whatsoever.
@@Nitmir1 Then how is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed more exiting ?
@@rishirajsaikia1323 Mostly just that it feels a little different. And YAST is awesome. It does sometimes muck up dependencies, but never broke anything. Usually just wait a day or three and they got it sorted. Currently playing around with Manjaro i3 on my thinkpad. Pretty decent distro that too.
Why ADs not coming in your channel
I know Manjaro has this kernel app that lets you manage different versions of the kernel with ease.
On ubuntu and at least another distro I used, you could pick a kernel from the boot menu.
In other words, you had to manually uninstall the linux [kernel] package, and you could always revert to a previous kernel by choosing it from the boot menu.
Can someone tell me if vanilla arch lets you do this? Is that a grub thing? I'm a little confused on how that works.
And if you CAN switch kernels from the boot menu, is there some advantage to the Manjaro kernel app?
I'm using manjaro now, pamac is an asshole to be honest, I can't update the applications in it without my computer freezing up. So I don't touch it, I'm going to test another distro in a couple of weeks or a month. I just need an extra graphics card so that I can pass it through in a vm.
why doesn't volume indicator work in Slstatus on DWM?
I m not an appreciater of the arch branch of linux in general. Having arch is like having a nagging wife always wanting trending updates and lots of attention or she'll breakup with u. A normal user like me want to do his work and not just to tend to my OS needs all the time. Debian based distros are what works for me. Running arch based distros breaks so much that all my time is wasted troubleshooting them. I think for developers involved on cutting edge technology arch may be the answer but we need to accept it that most users are not so inclined to debug their OS all the time. I mean for instance I come home from a trip and what do I see opening my PC ..........A LOT OF CONFLICTS OD PACKAGE ON UPDATE. WTH this is absurd. I want to edit my videos and not spent my time with OS. Guys who like me want a stable, performing, handsome Linux distro GO FOR LINUX MINT DEBIAN EDITION, MX LINUX, ZORIN, UBANTU, PEPPERMINT ETC. MAY BE FEDORA TOO!!!!!!!
11:20 is that a customized version of neofetch?
Yes. Config is in my dotfiles. Link in the description
@@TheLinuxCast thanks

Manjaro is fine but I prefere Garuda KDE due to the cool system tweaks. Arco is okay but their website is beyond evil. Probably the most confusing site on the internet.
I think it's a kde thing, I had some of the same issues on tumble weed
EndeavourOS has the best community imo, even though I use Arco.
They are a passionate bunch. Not really happy with critique, but who is?
My personal favorite Arch Based distro is StormOS. handles my games which are important to me without a lot of work by me. Just install the dependencies for World of Warcraft and I am good to go. Arco has the best install process out of ANY distro I have ever encountered,,,EVER. New comers StormOS for sure,,, long time arch or linux Arco!! My opinions. You mentioned the updates and in my experience 4 updates per month was fine for every arch I have had. I never really gave Endeavor a long go because I simply didnt like it at all. Garuda played my games but took more work. I love your video's and look forward to them. DT , Yourself and CrisTitus are the BOMB!!! :) GOD bless man,,, take care and see ya in the next video!!
Once they had the architect edition for building your own OS. Sadly, they lost the maintainer for that edition.
And has stopped the feature completely. Manjaro architect has gone. Dead.
you can still install manjaro the "arch way" ( very minimal install ) via the CLI
@@kavishlinux well, that's about the same as installing Arch. is it worth it? personally, i dont know.
if you choose an Arch spin, it's probably because you don't want to install it manually... at least, that's the idea.
@@sharktooh76 Personally i installed Manjaro over Arch because of the 2 week delay update not because it's easier to install. I also love mhwd and their kernel installer... There is plenty of reason you can choose Manjaro over pure Arch but you are right that the installer is the main one
@@kavishlinux well, sometimes Manjaro has more stability problems and with updates than vanilla arch or other derivated distros.
it "should" be more stable, but lately the devs have made big mistakes, like forcing pipewire with broken packages for all or Wayland on Plasma... (i know coz I had Manjaro on my production PC).
i was able to fix everything coz I'm a long time linux and arch user... but most people couldn't and the OS should not break so fast and easily.
sadly the devs are not so friendly too... so you're left alone with a non working installation.
Hey,
- Ok
If you play steam games on Manjaro, you'll also run into problems. Give it time, and they'll show up.
Using Steam that was already installed on Manjaro... all my games work great for the last 4 months I've been using it.
I've tried Manjaro many times on different systems and it never works quite right. I'm using manjaro right now and the bluetooth keeps turning itself off. Sometimes it's the wifi constantly losing connection. I'm about to trash this install and go with fedora where I know everything will work

An honest recommendation, lose weight and start working out. You are breathing heavily just sitting and talking. You are still very young. You should be at your prime.
I liked your video about Manjaro. I like its looks. However, it kept crashing on my virtual machine. Kubuntu never gave me any issues.
I use Arch btw.
1 month isn't really a long term review.
Compared to the other reviews who just install and try out basic stuff and call it a review, this one using it 1 month as daily driver can be called long term review. Especially for a rolling release distro. What would you consider long term review? I mean, it is "just" a review, so you cannot expect people to review distributions as their main driver for a longer period of time. Don't forget, this is not just in a VM for a few hours testing default apps, this is a true daily driver replacement.
@@thingsiplay 1 year
@@nevoyu No one does this as a daily driver, just to review a distribution. 1 year is not realistic and cannot be expected. 1 month daily driver as a review is more than enough and can be called long term.
eh I disagree
Updates are delayed not bcs Manjaro team do something lmao. They literally do nothing. Read some comments or articles. Probably more info is wrong. Not worth watching..
2:45 - if the problem was not able to change resolution: bugs kde org - id 407058 - it's fixed in 5.24, Jesus this bug was reported 2019-04-29 and 5.24 was released 2022.02.08 KDE Plasma in terms of the number of bugs still sucks hard!
Manjaro today has still Plasma 5.23.5 in stable branch - guess why...
Oh, cool, I'll give that a look. I honestly don't know if the 5.24 update is in the Manjaro repos yet, I haven't really paid attention.
Watching this while using Manjaro.
