This is the manjaro thread, /g/ please share your love.
>>52942936
Manjaro is alright. But I'd rather not use a community based distro for daily use
- easier than ubuntu
- more stable than ubuntu
- aur is more user-friendly than ppa
- installs my latest gpu driver and kernel in no time
why do you use manjaro?
>>52943007
>more stable than ubuntu
Explain
>>52942965
So which distro do you recommend?
I tried gentoo but wtf, my fans became out of control and got messy screen.
In ubuntu, sometime my trackpad didn't work, I needed to reboot 3 or 4 times.
I tried to install archlinux with instructions from this wallpapers (picture related).
But it didn't work at all.
>>52943031
I'm not him, but on the two laptops I've owned I've always had problems with the fans.
Currently I have a Lenovo y50-70, and with Ubuntu installed the fans just spin like it's about to take off. Manjaro doesn't do that and it seems to be able to actually control the fans well.
If it was a rolling release distro and if the developers were serious, I'd be using it as my main OS. Until then, Antergos it is.
>>52943031
Less bugs, start faster without warnings.
No hardware issues in manjaro out of the box.
>>52943007
Oh god, your music taste.
Also, what WM is that?
>>52943069
>He enables archlinux,fr
>He thinks yaourt is the only aur helper
lad pls
>>52943077
Sounds like driver issue, not stability
>>52943097
>Less bugs
No. Manjaro is bleeding edge and is by default, more buggy. Just like Arch
>>52943069
That's what you get for following the shitty apps guy
>>52943069
I'd recommend using a distro that has a package repository by professionals, not hobbysts
Like Ubuntu, Fedora, Opensuse, Oracle Linux etc
Is Manjaro a gateway drug to Arch?
Using Manjaro right now and liking it.
Considering moving to full blown Arch on my next laptop, now that I have some experience.
>>52943215
>>52943182 here, having a serious deja vu
I switched from windows to ubuntu because steam said it was compatible with it.
Result, it was a nightmare so I kept using windows for almost 3 more years.
I had enough of windows so I tried manjaro and wtf everything ran perfectly.
I try regularly ubuntu new releases but no one works as expected so I leaved.
>>52942936
manjaro is a joke. it's lowering the bar to enter linux, and it's bringing in a whole bunch of retards with sub 120 iqs. it's disgusting.
>>52943296
Let the normies come. Steam OS made nVidya to do some work for Linux
>>52943317
nobody wants video games on linux. it's a shame they've realised we get better performance, but i'm irritated because now every csgo player retard wants to run linux to be a special snowflake.
>>52943343
>nobody wants video games on linux
They sure want decent drivers
>>52943359
we have them, stop buying $5000 cards to play games and being surprised when they don't work on a platform that shouldn't be used for playing games.
Which one is better for you?
- manjaro
- architect
- antergos
>>52943445
Now it is but vulkan will atomize windows and make linux THE game platform.
>>52943343
I want games on Linux...
>>52942936
dude i love nine inch nails too
So what do you do with your computer?
Gaming is the first thing people do with their computers/smartphones.
I think people that use their computers for text/code, watching pictures or fapping are more retarded.
>>52942965
>But I'd rather not use a community based distro for daily use
which one would that be?
RHEL is pretty unusable without community-supported EPEL, which is worse supported than Fedora.
Ubuntu is pretty unusable without community-supported universe repo, which for the most part is really not supported at all and just siphoned Debian unstable packages.
>>52943574
By definition linux itself is community based so...
>>52943574
At least the core packages are maintained by professionals
>>52943007
what DE is that?
>>52943602
that's not relevant to distributions at all
>>52943641
so are they for the prolific community-driven distros.
for example it doesn't make sense for Canonical to not just hire Debian people and still let them work on Debian upstream on paid time

What can Manjaro do that Ubuntu can't do? The only difference I can see is Ubuntu has a better DE and package manager.
>>52944194
>Ubuntu has a better DE and package manager
wrong on both accounts
>>52944205
any Ubuntu flavor has a more polished DE and Ubuntu has Unity.
that pacman is just NIH after DEB an RPM already existed and can't compare on correctness and features is known, too.
>>52944316
Manjaro comes in literally any desktop environment and window manager, pre-riced too.
Theres no concept of "correctness" in software. If it does what it's intended to do, then it's correct. Pacman does just that.
>>52944395
any package manager that can't handle kernel updates correctly in 2016 is just shit:

Can someone give me a summary of this? If it can get my wifi to work (for the life of me with networkmanager set up properly it won't connect on a new arch install, it would in the past), then i might use it.
>>52947668
>If it can get my wifi to wor
Use manjaro, and change your name
>>52947771
I had the most issues on manjaro than any other distro, just one day, by not even updating or installing anything, i couldn't reboot.
>>52947668
you don't need networkmanager to use wifi, read the wiki. Manjaro isn't going to change anything.
>>52947806
networkmanager works best for my card, and i couldn't get it to work otherwise on arch
>>52947846
you don't sound like you know what you're talking about because it makes no sense.
>>52943007
>more stable than ubuntu
Autism: the post
>>52947889
I installed arch a few months ago, after installing, wifi worked with some trouble shooting, took 15 minutes to fix wifi. tried to install it again a few weeks ago, wifi was unusable. couldn't even detect my card, it did on lsusb, but it just wouldn't work. works out of the box on other arch based distros, so idk. i followed the same steps as before too to fix my wifi.
>>52943296
>sub 120 iqs

Wew lads we got a live one!
>>52947924
Kek, even when enabling the pre-released updates on ubuntu, i've yet to encounter any stability problems. It's fast, updated, and stable. what's there not to like?
>>52947931
whether your wifi is detected or not is completely irrelevant to networkmanager.
>>52947951
>thinking IQ isn't a reliable measure of intelligence
Two digit scum detected.
>>52943445

Why? because you don't want the platform too?
Some people do obviously, why should they be barred from entry just based on your retarded idea on what a OS should be.
Has anyone been able to get the latest AMD Crimson Drivers to work on Arch/Manjaro?
I can't seem to install them no matter what I do. I've tried uninstalling the current ones but it still tells me that they are installed when I try to install the new ones. I tried searching my problem and others reported downgrading the kernel and then installing works, but as soon as you upgrade it breaks them.
>>52947965
I'm just saying, it could be detected then i got it set up with networkmanager, but on the new install, it couldn't be detected after doing all the troubleshooting i could, so networkmanager then became useless, along with the arch install.
>>52947987
but that has nothing to do with networkmanager, did you try with other tools?
>>52947972
Does no one find it sad that some loser actually went through the time to type all of this?
>You are a loser etc.
Pretty much the pot calling the kettle black.
>>52948022
>Does no one find it sad that some loser actually went through the time to type all of this?
The original and the edited
>>52948003
I did. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 [2012] [base model], and the other tools and troubleshooting didn't work either. none of the cli stuff or gui stuff. i spent at least 10 hours on it, and nothing. but now i'm back on ubuntu and couldn't be happier, it's just a shame about arch this time around for me.
>>52948035
Agreed.
>>52948046
>Agreed.
Ayeeeeee
>>52948039
So it had nothing to do with networkmanager then.
>>52948142
I never said it was networkmanager, i just said that it wasn't detected. It was a problem with arch itself.
>>52947791
>i couldn't reboot.
tell me more
>>52947967
Your response to that post was so god damn predictable, it just proves the point.
>>52948235
I restarted my computer, and it would not reboot into manjaro, it would get stuck on the loading screen. and in verbose mode, it would get stuck at a certain point.
>>52948240
It doesn't prove anything. You can get your head out of your ass and look up how IQ is formulated and tested.
>>52948253
>SystemD
How did you solve it?
>>52948165
>I never said it was networkmanager, i just said that it wasn't detected. It was a problem with arch itself.
>networkmanager works best for my card, and i couldn't get it to work otherwise on arch
>with networkmanager set up properly it won't connect on a new arch install
This is exactly why people look down on manjaro users. If it worked in manjaro and it didn't with arch then it means you didn't have it set up properly because with almost identical packages it worked with one and not the other, so the configs were different. There is no magic involved, you just didn't do what you needed to do. When you start making statements about how you need networkmanager for your wifi to be recognized and such things you start to lose credibility because to experienced ears these kind of statements make no sense whatsoever. The difference isn't that arch doesn't work and manjaro does, it's that manjaro has a ready made config and arch doesn't. When you say you did "all the troubleshooting" I have to doubt what you say because "arch based" involves the same packages, often bit for bit.
>>52948318

>now i'm back on ubuntu and couldn't be happier, it's just a shame about arch this time around for me.

Arch would have seen the kernal drivers for that wireless chip first, you ass-hat.
>>52948326
Except that it worked previously a couple months back m8. it's an arch issue, don't try to defend it. I'm not saying arch is bad, it's just i need something that werks, and arch did used to werk, it just stopped werking.
>>52948262
>thinking reasoning is the only kind of intelligence
>>52948347
What will you do in a similar case when ubuntu uses systemD from the next LTS?
>>52948369
>IQ only tests reasoning
Go educate yourself.
>>52948363
Except arch didn't see them, dumbass
>>52948368
I don't use arch and don't like it but sure son, sure, that's much be exactly what it is. You sound like you're knowledgeable enough to tell.
>>52948381
except ubuntu does use systemd, and it werks
>>52948390
I spent 10 hours trouble shooting, it literally would not detect my card, so i couldn't do shit, so yeah. it worked just fine on my last arch install a few months back, but now it didn't work, so yeah.
>>52948399
What would you do if the same thing happens to your ubuntu?
>>52948427
What is your wireless card anyway?
>>52948427

You are a retard.
>>52948451
The whole point of Manjaro is that it should work even when you don't know what you're doing (which goes against the base ArchLinux principles, but I digress).
If you're using a pre-baked system with proprietary firmware support, you'd expect it to "just work".
>>52948473
That's definitely supported in the kernel. You're just an idiot.
>>52948451
I knew most of the stuff i was doing, but then i sought after outside help so i went on the arch linux irc and the arch linux newbie irc, and they said it was a problem with arch itself
>>52948483
>Implying i hadn't already done that
>>52948497
Yeah if it's so supported then how come it wasn't found? fucking autist. I'm not trying to bash arch, but some of you users are cancerous. i'm just saying in my situation, it didn't just werk like it normally would.
>>52948523
>>Implying i hadn't already done that
Then it's confirmed, you're an incompetent tard.
>>52948523
PEBKAC
>>52948558
Or maybe that it wasn't even detecting my card being there? acting like it's my fault arch linux wasn't detecting a piece of hardware that is detected in virtually every other distro. I'm not bashing arch, it just didn't work, why the fuck do you guys even care? It's all still linux, this is why the arch community is cancerous for the linux community as a whole, they try to act all superior putting anyone down. It's not even my fucking fault, and i'm not saying it's arch's, it just didn't work. you guys have severe autism.

It is a reliable measure. What isn't reliable is your understanding of the concept, or the conclusion you draw from the results. I use 'results' loosely here as it's obvious that you did not reach the score through proper methodology, but rather you just made a hasty, and arbitrary judgment based on what you believe to be true--you don't like x, therefore anyone who does is of lower intelligence. It's more of an indication of your own mental state and cognitive function than his.
Manjaro is shit, just use windows 10, it has package manager too.
>>52960555

I just finished upgrading to Manjaro from Windows 7. Right out of the box there is a very noticable drop in performance when doing anything at all. Thankyou Manjaro for ruining Linux, it's going to be Windows 10 from here on out.
>>52960555
The worst thing about Majaro imo is the fact that it lets you easily install new kernels and switch between them. What kind of shit is that? If anyone can do it, then they won't think I'm clever, or be impressed by me anymore. It's bad enough that Linux has gotten to the point where almost anyone can install and use it, but now they're fucking with making advanced shit easy too. That's communism pure and simple. Sheeple make me fucking sick!
