"Lightweight for speed but better for advanced users"

What do you like best about Manjaro?

I've tried Linux Mint and other options such as Arch but I like that Manjaro is more lightweight in comparison as it runs steam games faster so that I can also stream with better quality too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Manjaro?

Installation can be smooth but when it is not, it's quite nerve wracking to troubleshoot. However, there is a active forum available for users that require support. I would probably dislike Manjaro more if I didn't have friends who are more advanced to help me out hence my title recommending that Manjaro is better for advanced users.

Some of the new software is not on Manjaro till months after release which isn't a huge downfall but something to consider. Another thing was the settings were a little time consuming to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Linux Distro"
5/5
What do you like best about Manjaro?

I am a fan of manjaro for several reasons. First, I love the AUR. This is more of a feature of Arch, but the user repository essentially contains every single possible application. This makes installing any app really trivial and helps me get a new system running really quickly. I also love that everything is up to date AND nothing breaks. Manjaro brings a Ubuntu style release system on top of the rolling system of Arch. While I've never had anything break when I was using Arch, it is always nice knowing that the new packages are tested to work well before they are pushed to me. While this defeats the purpose of arch, it makes the user experience a little better. For the record I use Manjaro Gnome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Manjaro?

There isnt much I dislike. I am not a fan of the software the comes preinstalled with Manjaro Gnome, but its fine and pretty simple to re-theme myself and remove the bloat. The installer is O.K. at best, I personally prefer the ubuntu installer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
