Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

The only issues I've had with Manjaro over the last 10 years were my own fault. During the first year or two of using Manjaro I would regularly forget or neglect to go on the Manjaro Forum and read all of the announcements for big updates. Updates to the kernel, DE, etc. Once I finally learned my lesson I have had smooth sailing with zero issues for 8 years. The Forum and the Wiki are definitely your friends when performing large updates/upgrades and just in general. I started with XFCE and switched to KDE Plasma 4 years ago. I love how easily customizable KDE Plasma is. I don't think I've ever had a problem finding a package to meet my needs and virtually every one of them has just worked. It's just a very solid, stable distro that's close enough to cutting edge for me. I've been using Linux since 2001 and Manjaro just feels like what I was looking for in a distro from the beginning. It might not be perfect for everyone but in my opinion it's a great distro.

Was able to get sound going when Manjaro recognized the essx3887 sound chip. BRAVO!

I was unable to get the sound going in debian bases distros without doing a kernel hack. Do note that I downloaded the version that uses proprietary drivers. All in all I like the xfce interface. I was also surprised at the ease of porting the output to my large screen TV via HDMI cable. I have also installed it on a WO-WE mini computer and all is working. The distros in use in our household now include Majaro and mostly MxLinux...

Probably one of the BEST Linux Distros I've ever used,better than my Fedora experience that is for sure

Pros:
-Easy installation and easy installation troubleshooting with Manjaro-Chroot
-Packages are stable,doesn't break often
-Very high amount of packages with Pamac's AUR support and Flatpak support as it comes with Pamac
-You don't need to hassle with the drivers as it detects everything itself
-Still has Arch's customization while being friendlier than Arch itself
Cons:
Couldn't find that is caused by the system itself really,more problems are caused by GNOME and GRUB rather than
the OS itself but I will recommend using CachyOS Kernel rather than using Manjaro Kernel as Cachy
Kernel is faster than Manjaro's...though my Laptop had issues with Manjaro in Sleep/hibernation mode ad
It wasn't set to deep so I just changed it to deep

Overall pretty solid choice for Intermediate Users and those who want to test the waters of Arch Linux
