Yes, any of the above-listed systems will work and run pretty much the same software but Manjaro makes everything simple, easy, organized, and smooth, as well as featuring some great built-in tools such as Pamac/ Octopi depending on environment chosen (though I always uninstall Octopi and install Pamac), the Settings Manager Kernel changing option is simply spectacular, and I’ve enjoyed many of the software choices by the Manjaro team (including Steam by default, Firefox, Thunderbird, Yakuake). In the end, I felt that Manjaro held the best combination of user-friendliness with raw-power. Looking back at Manjaro as the choice of environment, I want to note that I really looked at: Looking at this list, with the exception of the increased resource usage compared to most of the other Desktop Environments, I personally find the other downsides to really be ‘benefits’, but that’s to each their own. Arguably more geared towards power-users than some other environments.Very in-your-face customization access can be jarring to Windows users not used to having such broad customization in their UI setup.Arguably the most resource-intensive desktop environment. ![]() However, KDE is not without its downsides too: Regardless of distribution, KDE is filled with eye candy, is highly-customizable, one of the most powerful file-browsers available (Dolphin), and is deeply documented with a long-standing history (KDE was created in 1996). The Arch wiki is easily one of the largest resources of help, information, and know-how for all Linux users— regardless of distribution, many of the articles found can be applied.īack in the spring of 2017 I wrote a series of articles discussing various Desktop Environments for Linux systems, such as Cinnamon and KDE just to name a couple, and overall for Windows users who have decided to take the plunge, I’m recommending KDE. Another great perk of the Arch foundation underneath Manjaro is the use of the Arch Linux Wiki. Manjaro is based off of Arch Linux, but I like to describe it to people as the “Ubuntu of Arch†for its user-friendly design choices and its particular attention to helping new Linux users to learn what they are doing. There are hundreds of Linux distributions to choose from, but I’d like to personally throw my two-copper in and suggest Manjaro KDE.
