Manjaro Linux


Not seeing a separate Manjaro sub-forum, I thought I would just post here.

After trying several distros in VM, I settled on Manjaro. I'm not smart, and though I've been using Ubuntu for many years, I consider myself ignorant as to how Linux works. But Ubuntu was getting slow on my old machine and I was wanting something more lightweight. I tried Xubuntu, but just couldn't get to liking it, and it seemed only a little faster than Ubuntu. After installing Manjaro, my old laptop leaped back to life. I am really enjoying it.

So, I want to express my appreciation to the Manjaro team hear on LQ.

hello, that's nice to hear.
but you do know that manjaro have their own forum? i'm sure your feedback is even more appreciated there.

btw, which version are you running? openbox?

I'm using XFCE. Like I said, I'm not too steady on my feet as to Linux, and that DE seemed like something I could do. I tried Enlightenment on a VM, and kind of liked it, but I seemed more comfortable with XFCE. Maybe I'll change in the future as I get time to experiment with others in VM.

I had tried other Debian and Ubuntu based distros, but I liked the rolling release of Manjaro. I often would be several versions back on Ubuntu just because I wouldn't have the time to install the latest.

I put one of the versions of Manjaro into one older laptop, but haven't really used it. Support for Pale Moon was the deciding factor.

Tried the Manjaro forums but just getting into the forums was such a pain I gave up. I asked my questions here and will continue to do so.

I just switch to Manjaro from Xubuntu a few days ago myself. Love it so far. Basically I got tired waiting for the in place Xubuntu distro upgrade. So I decided that I will go distro hopping again and try something different.
