To all new members: Manjaro is not entirely a set and forget or “just always click ok” distro. Take some time to read the site wiki, the forum tutorials and the update announcements. Make backups and snapshots, have a live usb at hand, stay on stable with LTS kernel and do not use AUR at the beginning.
That way everyone will have a lot less stress and a lot more pleasant experience.

G’day from Australia.
Welcome from the Forum.
Hi there. I’ve been using Linux now and then for more than 30 years, but I only discovered manjaro a month ago, looking for a gaming platform. I’m very impressed by the performance and I’m planning to stay.

I use the unstable branch, but I only use the kernel 6.18, I’m not a fan of being in the latest kernel. I prefer to use the LTS kernel. Thanks for the advice, I’m not new, I used in the past Zorin OS, Linux Mint, Peppermint OS, Sparky Linux, yeah, Debian/Ubuntu derivates.
When a switched to Manjaro was some confusing at the begging but easier than use Arch Linux directly, but reading information in the wiki and watch videos on YouTube I have learned a lot. I use AUR only for Stacer

Hello everybody!
I have been distrohopping for the last few years and always make my way back to Manjaro!
I’ve decided to stick with this OS and put an end to this.
I will be using Manjaro for productivity for the family and light gaming here and there on my Laptop
See you about the board and look forward to learning along the way
