Welcome and introduce yourself - 2021

I just want to say that I LOVE Manjaro :heart::heart::heart:
Waiting for the day when I’ll only have Manjaro installed, can completely remove windows & only use Manjaro…:smiley:

Hello! I’m a fairly new manjaro user and last time I used linux for personal use was some years ago and back then I used ubuntu. Figured I should get into linux again and found manjaro and will go ahead to install it on my laptop, hopefully I can help the project in some way (I’m not that good at programmig but I’m going to start getting into python).

Most of my experience lies in networking and serveradministration (mainly windows servers), know some HTML and CSS as well.

Has experience in technical support 1st to 3rd line and working as a information system operation manager atm :slight_smile:

Looking forward to becomming a part of the community

Edit: oh yeah I’m from Sweden :wink:

Hi *,

I use Linux for about 20 years. On our servers we use Centos, Debian, Ubuntu. Manjaro is my desktop disto at work for 2 years and enjoy to have a rolling distro. I started with Deepin Desktop Environment … now using KDE.

Greetings from Bern, Switzerland,

I am a new user of Manjaro and is very happy to use it - 9 of 10 stars - the last star is missed for not to have a app for grub customizer. i can get it with Sudo but it is more difficult.
i have tested more than 15 different Linux systems and find Linux Mint 20.1 to 10 stars, it has all features i ask for.
Now - i test Manjaro for more and look forward to rate it to 10 stars.
Best regards
Jørgen

It’s good to hear that you’ve given Manjaro a try and that you give it 9/10 stars.

With regard to Grub Customizer, there have been many (probably hundreds) of forum threads over the years discussing this app, and it turns out that it is known to cause more problems than it is worth – at least when using it with Manjaro. Here is a comment from a couple weeks ago that gives a few links that you can check out: Unable to change grub menu entries because of grub customizer not working - #6 by Ben . Bottom line: it is best to avoid Grub Customizer, as it will save you from headaches down the road.

what @adreampuppet said, but I’d like to change:

to:

I’ve seen lots of severe problems on all Linux Distro’s I’ve used over the years (RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu).

This!

And I’ve also seen the staunch supporters of said distro swear by it and denounce all else.

(While we all know it’s bull and that Manjaro is best! :grin: )

Hi,

I’m David, new to Linux. I choose Manjaro since it’s rolling release and my hardware is new. Not easy for now but I will try :slightly_smiling_face:

Regards

A lot of things that are worth it isn’t easy.

Hi everyone, glad to be here, after a while of macos, I’m have moved back to Manjaro, always my favorite flavor and I enjoy it the most. I do mostly development and some science and engineering stuff that I still have to have a Win10 VM around, but stay out as much as possible. I do enjoy learning and this is a great forum for almost every problem or issue I don’t understand. Keep up the good work and I’ll talk to a few of you in the other posts.

Right !

Hey all.
I am Ólafur Víðir, and I consider myself as an end user. I started trying out Linux around 2011 - 2012 by using Ubuntu. Was switching Win/Linux for a few years after that until I found Linux Mint, which served my old computer pretty well.
On my newer laptops I have used Antergos (now discontinued), Manjaro, PopOS, Arch (for a very short time).
I am very happy on Manjaro, and feel like I have found “my OS”, even if I don’t have the patience to run GNOME and Nvidia with optimus.

Hello everyone !
I’ve been on and off with Linux for a few years, still a N00b but I recently started using Manjaro KDE as a daily driver and it’s been a pretty cool adventure so far. I have a few issues which I believe I can solve to some extent but otherwise I’m just glad to be off windows. Being on Linux just feels much more natural.

What is the identity of that being which says, “I love Manjaro”? Welcome beingless one…

Have used Linux on and off for a couple of decades but still a noob, as I couldn’t stick to Linux for long enough, mostly because of work requirements. Never found a point in dual booting personally. Was always a Fedora / Red Hat user. Probably because back then (1999 - 2000) - Red Hat was one of few ‘user friendly’ distros available.
Started using Manjaro (KDE) a few months back and have tried a few distros in between those few months, but always came back to Manjaro (I used to be an obsessive ROM flasher back in the days, so the same bug has bit me after switching full time to Linux I guess)… But Manjaro has become a very “bad habit”. Hard to switch distribution now, it seems!.
