I’ve played with Linux on and off for about 10 years. I first got curious when I read about it online when I was going to college, so I started buying Linux magazines with DVD’s on the front covers. I loved trying out different distributions and desktop environments, it was and still is so fun.
I’m currently running Manjaro XFCE on a 12th generation Intel CPU. And it’s running great!
Have a good day all, and by the way, you are doing an awesome job!
I’m Gerco (a very convenient name in English) and I’ve been intrigued by Linux for a long time but always thought it would consume too much time to get it working. However, last few years my annoyances with windows on both my home pc’s and with ms teams at work have been rapidly increasing so I decided to finally start The Linux Project. Which I really shouldn’t have done because I am not good at making choices without supporting them by evidence - and there are just too many options to choose from in linuxland. So I guess this journey will also be some sort of an OCD-therapy.
After consulting “The Internet” for a while I assumed Manjaro KDE would suit me best. Other contestants are Ubuntu, Elementary, PCLinuxOS, Zorin and even Fedora. But I do hope to keep distro hopping to a minimum.
“The Linux Project” aims to do all my home computing on linux and leave microsoft behind. Consecutive targets are:
Have a look at Libreoffice, available in the extra repository:
$ pamac search libre
[...]
libreoffice-fresh-af [Installed] 7.3.4-1 extra
Afrikaans language pack for LibreOffice Fresh
libreoffice-fresh [Installed] 7.3.4-2 extra
LibreOffice branch which contains new features and program enhancements
[...]
So, it can be installed using:
pamac install libreoffice-fresh
Have a look at, probably among others, rclone, from the community repository:
$ pamac search rclone
[...]
rclone [Installed] 1.58.1-1 community
Sync files to and from Google Drive, S3, Swift, Cloudfiles, Dropbox and Google Cloud Storage
Note 2: Where possible, always install the -bin version of a package from the AUR, as this is precompiled binaries and won’t need to be compiled on your machine.
Vincèn here, lausanne based in Switzerland Very long time user of Linux for all my computers and SBC Started with Slackware, then Mandrake, continued on Ubuntu, and after a short time with Pop OS, decided to discover Manjaro and so far so good
Been a Linux user for a number of years. Started with Mint to get my feet wet, then migrated to Fedora, then Fedora KDE, then finally to Manjaro KDE where I seem to have found my sweet spot. Love the distro.
I’m not an expert by any means here, but feel fairly comfortable with the basics in the environment. I’ll be a taker more than a giver here, but look forward to using the brain trust here to answer questions and problems that arise.
I started using Linux when the only way to install it was getting a CD. I started again using Linux on my computer about 4 years ago, with Hyper-V and Ubuntu. Then, I passed to Virtualbox and to find the right distro I could use on a virtual machine.
I tried Manjaro Xfce for the first time about two years ago, but I had problems with Virtualbox, so i passed to another distro, and another distro again.
Now, I am back on Manjaro Xfce, which is installed on my laptop, on VirtualBox (from which I am posting this). Soon, I will install it on my desktop computer, dual boot with Windows 10. (I should say I reinstall it, since I already installed Manjaro, but with Gnome instead of Xfce.)
Hi everyone! My name’s Francesco and I just joined the forum. I come from macOS and Debian (Bullseye); I’ve been using Manjaro since a couple of months and I’d like to join the community to better understand this Linux distro.
Not new to Linux but a Linux Noob. Over the years went from Slackware, Redhat when it was actually free and called Redhat and came with a giant book ;-), Debian and now Manjaro. Came to Manjaro basically by way of KDE. Haven’t like what GNOME became. So decided to take a look at what KDE has become since last I looked at it was circa 2003 maybe. My career I use Windows, but always playing with Linux here and there. Anyway, here I am hello all.
I’m back after a long sojourn to Windows and Apple OS. Currently running two BMAX M-3 Plus computers on one Monitor at a time, the other is Windows 11. Nice to be “Home.”
Hello, my name is Anthony alias nouzaku, living in the north of France. Not so new to Linux, Manjaro is exactly what I’m looking for: simple and up to date. Looking forward to seeing you again on this forum!
Hello there!
I’m Gabiele. Long time linux user, into software development, looking to switch to Manjaro. Started years ago from Ubuntu, then fell in love with FOSS.
Hey everyone, New to Manjaro, Started on Debian in 2011 then hopped around various Ubuntu flavors since. Used Manjaro in a VM and loved it so decided to make it my daily driver.
Thanks
Hey everyone, my name is Ikako, I’m new user of Manjaro linux, well actually this is the first time I’m using any linux distro, I don’t know why but I already love this. now lets talk a little bit about myself.
At the age of 26 I found out that the thing I wanna be doing for the rest of my life is coding, I was Senior Financial Analyst with no prior experience in programming (except for SQL which I’ve used in my field to increase my productivity in my past life) and I was NOT happy.
Recently I started learning python, javascript, html and css, I completed some courses and now i’m close to landing my first job as a fullstack dev. The reason I am interested in linux is that when I host my websites nearly every server is running on linux so I thought that I would acquaint myself with linux. As for why I chose Manjaro I have no earthly idea, I just like it.
Anyways, that’s me I’m happy to be a member of this community maybe in the future I’ll even contribute something in making this amazing distro even better.
