This is a good os, but not for what its advertised for.



There are quite a few issues with what they say it is for. To begin, they encourage using pamac as the main package manager. Now for any experienced user, you can do this just fine, but as a new user you should be learning to use the command line for when you at some point break your system. Now you can get away with not learning it and all sure, but then there is the AUR issue. Now I personally love the AUR and i really like all that it provides, but there is an issue when it comes to using the AUR. You should always be checking the AUR packages you use. Instead, pamac gives one small warning about the AUR and nothing else. Overall its good for me if I need an os on like my laptop. But if you want to use something like this, i would recommend arch linux, or nixos, or ubuntu with nix package manager.

Not for my Dell Optiplex 380 Desktop, Live USB cannot detect the wired network connection.

Somehow trying to connect to network became an adventure.

Never had this problem with other distros, they all detected the network card driver.

I had uninstalled Manjaro on a fairly old laptop from a relative to try another linux system: Endeavor os what a disaster on old laptops but excellent on some 10 year old desktop.



So I reinstalled Manjaro on this old laptop with a Core Duo at 1.60 ghz and 2 ghz of old ram and Manjaro works almost without problems some websites hungry in ram do not work the standby crashes the pc but outside from that all works the peripherals are recognized, the system is quite stable. Thanks to the whole Manjaro team.
