The new lxqt community edition is awesome.

Faster than lubuntu with modern gui and recent packages.
However I really dislike the icon theme, really awful.
>>53526526
>archlinux for human beings
Antergos, it actually uses the arch repos, manjaro does not
I use Manjaro as my main os because its i3wm release is wonderful.
I don't know why there are no ubuntu official alternative with i3wm.
>>53526526
bmenu and mwhd make my dick hard.
>>53526526
install arch you dumb fuck
stop using this fucking gui shit

Invalidates the point of the picture completely, i thought you faggots were out socializing and shit
Just use arch-anywhere, it's much more better than shits like manjaro, antergos, architect or bbqlinux.

Hi guys. I've been hearing a lot of good things about Manjaro on here and I'm actually considering switching to it. I'm running Mint 17.3 right now, and I'm not extremely familiar with it or the terminal yet, but I have found that I can pretty easily troubleshoot everything.
Is manjaro an ok distro for beginners like me?
I definitely do not have the time or want to take the time to learn arch, but if this is a simplified version of arch I'll consider switching.
Also, is this going to be less resource intensive and faster than Mint? That's really the only reason I'd consider switching.

>I've been hearing a lot of good things about Manjaro on here
No you haven't
>>53527319
Well I've definitely been hearing a lot of shilling for it recently here.
>>53526526
Great distro that is working for almost 2 years on this laptop. I'll maybe try i3wm, looks interesting.
>try to get Manjaro
>keeps hanging during the USB stick boot
>can't fix it
I only use Arch because ironically it took me less time to set up.
>>53527564
But Arch is objectively superior
>>53526564
a nine inch nails thread in /g/?
Is this distro good for beginners?
I don't know much about linux but I have some experience with Mint and I am competent enough to troubleshoot most things.
>>53527868
yeah the logo looks way nicer in screenfetch and everything
>>53527904
No, try one of the serious distros:
Debian
Fedora
SuSE
>>53527962
And it isn't bloated trash
>>53527904
Yes, I recommend XFCE. But If you want a really novice friendly then go for Ubuntu/SuSe/Fedora/Debian in that order.
>>53527977
Bolat like "X" and "the gnu coreutils", right?
>>53528008
Bloated like Manjaro
>>53528001
I was always under the impression that open suse was pretty advanced. I've been running mint for a few months now so I'll look into suse.

tfw currently installing Arch Linux on my Thinkpad.
>>53528046
I installed it on my T420 and I love it.
>>53527975
Depends on what you need to use a distro for in the first place. I would not recommend Fedora to someone who wants to game on their machine as their avoidance of proprietary drivers, such as Nvidia's, can be a real hassle to Linux novices.
>>53527977
>bloatedPackages: 1087
Yeah,sure.
>>53527193
I use Antergos as a simplified version of Arch (no hassle install, uses all the Arch repos) and I have not seen any issues even after updating the kernel 2 times since I installed it.
Just stick to the official packages for now and you'll be fine.
>>53528089
It's an 8 year old laptop. I'm not doing any gaming on it except for small indie games like cave story or braid.
>>53526661
Do they offer easy configuration of iw3 or do you have to go config diving and do everything by hand?
>>53528103
Not the distro's fault that a lot of packages are heavy in the dependencies...

It depends on what DE really the only difference is the package manger and AUR.
How long does it take to become productive on Manjaro? I have a few hours tomorrow and I want to get rid of Mint on my laptop.
>>53528366
Shouldn't take any longer than Mint.
Define "productive" in your case.
>>53528510
Running LaTeX, a browser and a PDF viewer should be 95% of what I need urgently. And wifi of course. Also, should I try Btrfs?
>>53528046
>T60
The fucking best ThinkPad. It gets even better if you do a FrankenPad, basically putting T61 internals in the T60 chassis with the gorgeous UXGA Flexview screen
>>53527116
>personally know the guy who compiled ALA
>even he can't get xf-86-input-wacom installed properly
welp back to mint
>>53528689
I'm fine with this but I'd like a larger resolution.
>>53528752
>enjoy the simplicity
>our wiki and forum is not reachable for now
kek
>>53528657
PDF viewer is easy since most decent distros come with one out of the box.
As for LaTeX it depends on how you acquire it as I don't know whether Manjaro includes it.

Wifi depends on the card you have. What model of card do you have?
>>53526598
>clone's botnet
>it's awesome
>>53528781
Dunno, my laptop is already in my tracking backpack. I'd install it on a train ride tomorrow and install everything else I need when I have wifi, hoping that wifi works.
>>53526679
I Know how to use my system but i do not need to use a command line application in order to do so.
>>53528811
I would read up on btrfs first before using it just in case it has any issues hidden somewhere.
>>53528752

>>53526526
I don't understand, if you were so into Arch why not use Antergos?
Also the arguments against Arch usually include it being easy to break during updates against which Manjaro does nothing. This makes me think it's doubly unnecessary when Antergos exists if you are going to put up with this nevertheless.
Also what part of installation of Arch is making people give up on it? I'm genuinely curious as the difficulty is way more exaggerated.
>>53526977
>people are talking about Arch
>posts image primarily focused on Arch
>nope, this is irrelevant because I'm butthurt
>>53529041
what does Antergos have over Manjaro exactly ?
Hey manbros
my gnome desktop takes forever to start and gdm doesnt even prop up. Im currently using lxdm to open gnome-session. Can anyone halp?
>>53529090
Using Arch repositories is an advantage because this thread is dedicated for people who want an Arch Linux for human beings. I just assumed that they want Arch packages but don't want to go through the installation.
Honestly Manjaro and Antergos are the same to me with Antergos being slightly better because it's using Arch packages.
>>53526625
Yes it uses you can dluse yaourt to download packages from AUR
>>53529134
Except antergos doesnt have an openrc version unfortunately
Its probably more mature than manjaro Ill give you that
>>53529090
Glitchy display manager, white screens, ootb broken desktops... you name it
>>53529166
Neither does Arch have a version that is supported officially.
>>53529076
The image is a joke making it irrelevant. It's common knowledge.
>>53529170
>I want Arch experience
>I don't want to fix things
Please be coeherent in your responses.
>>53529184
Officially it doesn't
but I think there is a arch openrc somewhere in sourcefourge. Havent tried it though nor can I be sure of its stability
>>53527193
Manjaro is to Arch what Mint is to Ubuntu.
>>53527904
Yes. I went straight from Windows to Manjaro with no problems.
I'm just trying it out. My first Linux distro
>>53529170
I installed Antergos and I never had this. WTF are you doing?
>>53528752
Why even bother posting this? They fixed it long ago.
How do I get a nicer looking log in screen on Manjaro Cinnamon? The default one looks really bland.
