I think Manjaro is a decent distro and must be supported with a lot of love. It doesn’t matter the past, mistakes or accusations, but the future you’re edifying. Please, devs, do not surrender in developing this beautiful distro, Steam was a company that was hated in its beginnings and now is very loved. Likewise, Manjaro has a future!
The more people tells you guys, that is impossible and that can’t be done, the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong. Treat the word “impossible” as nothing more than motivation.
So, don’t surrender. It’s an amazing distro for many things.
I think I managed the polite part, but short, my apologies in advance.
First installed Red Hat from a CD-ROM that came with a very thick book.
Have used others since such as MSX, but mostly MS starting with DOS 2. When floppy disk were true to their name.
For the same reason as many, I will no longer be using MS as a main OS by the end of this year. It will instead reside inside a VM, like I’ve had the other way around with some flavor of Linux for a while now. Manjaro was the first I started this with. But then went for Debian based as there were more questions being asked and answered for Ubuntu.
I think I’ve tried something from every main base, at least in a VM.
I did have another ARCH based distro installed before this. But could not get the GPU passthrough to work. I haven’t gotten it to work on Manjaro yet either, but I have passed the important hurdle of the right driver being in use and the card actually visible in the guest’s device manager. After spending a couple of days looking for a solution I’ve signed up to ask for help (I’ll write a post in the appropriate category) Thanks in advance
Hi everyone, I’m cheero from Italy. Started using Manjaro since a friend suggested it to me and I’ve been having a blast since I replaced Windows with it on my desktop some months ago. Currently planning to install it on my laptop as well very soon. I really like how comfortable and stable this OS is. Looking forward to learn more
Linux user for 20 years now, tried a lot of distros (Mandrake, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, some less popular…) - I had my time when I was just installing new ones and try them out for a few weeks.
I liked Arch, but since i’m not so keen to have fun in the installation processes that I was before, I chose Manjaro for my laptop. Using it for more than a year now, everything works as I expect it to work, even gaming.
The forum was very helpful for me at certain times, so I decided to subscribe, first to thank the community (the users who had the same difficulty I had and asked for help , and the users who answered ), and to try to be a little helpful in return.
I’ve used Linux since about 13-14, which means for about 45% of my life I’ve been a Linux user. I started with Ubuntu (what an original /jk), then switched to Mint, which I used the longest. Several weeks ago I tried to switch to Arch (genius) & came to a conclusion that I will not get involved with it seriously when my only pc (a laptop) relies on it &, as a provisional, installed Fedora.
About a day or so later I found out about Manjaro & here I am, switching to it.
Hi, my name is Jordan. Manjaro has been very impressive so far. I’m excited to learn more. You will probably catch me reading docs. I’m excited to be part of the community.
Thats more or less the way that many ppl follow, from debian-ubuntu based to arch and arch based. Manjaro worth it, ive beeing using for 60 days and no problems.
Hello there
I’m a trans girl who is really into Linux and i mainly use manjaro (that’s why I’m here lol) and Arch
Though I am obviously not the best I will hopefully be able to help someone here
That’s all :3
(Yes this is my bio as well ill probably change it eventually lol)
I am new to manjaro since I have been off put by the bad rep it has but I decided to try it anyway as its release model fits perfect for what im looking for, Hoping to stickl around for awhile.
I’ve used Manjaro since jan 2023, but not participated in the forum before now.
I’ve been donating a small amount to the Manjaro team since the month after I installed in when I settled with this distro. Really like it
Been using Linux on and off for about 20 years.
Been using Ubuntu Server on my home server for about 15 years or so (haven’t kept count).
I’ve been an IT consultant for 4 years in a small team, but left my position recently. Looking for some other IT work currently.
It’s nice to meet your all, and I look forward to the discussion
Hello everyone,
I’m storm and I’m currently a senior computer science student - I grad in July of 2026 and I’m a software quality assurance automation engineer. I’ve switched to Manjaro recently and I’m settling down on it.
Hello everyone. I recently registered on the forum, but I’ve been using Manjaro for over 7 years. Before that, I used Linux Mint for a few years, but I have absolutely no regrets about switching. Manjaro FTW!
Hi! It’s my second time using Manjaro Kde. I’ve been using it since April and so far everything is great. Years ago I tried it but had a specific issue and, influenced by comments in internet, changed to another distro without much investigation. I’m happy so far!
