/home/UK/England/Yorkshire/Sheffield :)
My name is Steve and I have been using Manjaro since the beginning of November 2012. (Sounds like I am at an AA meeting :) )
/home/UK/England/Yorkshire/Sheffield :)
I started with Red Hat (circa 1996-7) >> Mandrake >> Mandriva >> LMDE >> Manjaro
It's all Ringo's fault, he posted about Manjaro in the LMDE forum. I was having problems with the AMD drivers, I knew they worked in Arch, but life is too short to install Arch....... ;)
I was an Accountant/IT Manger/Programmer (too many hats!) for various engineering companies in Sheffield, got made redundant and now work with people with dementia and challenging behaviour. But guess what - they want me to work two days in the office giving IT support :( 35 years in an office was bad enough (and it is Windows!). Oh yeh, I am 51 (nearly 52!).
all my fault :) i was trolling on Lmde :)
Naughty boy! Penalty for trolling is you should be forced to use Windows for a month :)lol, no, just trolling that lmde doesnt gets better , i thought :) frozen for half year and later an huge update :)
Welcome goThic! - Cinnarch is cool but the Manjaro blend does it for me, especially with a hot cup of coffee in the morning @ the tip of Africa! Keep us posted on how you get on post-install. Enjoy, sS.
Coming from Ubuntu and Mint. My linux skills are very limited.Hi Nabber,
Looking forward to getting stuck into Manjaro and learning some new things.
Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I look forward to learning from you all. :)
altima: I am from Western BC, mostly the island, but have lived in Alberta and Ontario as well. I am south of Atlanta, pretty much the middle of no where! ;D Town is no great thrill, happy to stay home with my boy and my computer!
I am from Western BC, mostly the island, but have lived in Alberta and Ontario as well. I am south of Atlanta, pretty much the middle of no where!Anywhere near Salt Spring Island by chance? What the name of the town in the middle of nowhere Georgia, if you don't mind my asking?
Cool , I m from around one hre or so from Montreal , so you must not be far from the I-85 , or the I-75 right !I lived just west of Hull for a few years, loved it there! And, yeah, I know I-75 quite well!
Anywhere near Salt Spring Island by chance? What the name of the town in the middle of nowhere Georgia, if you don't mind my asking?Spent most of my childhood in Nanaimo, grandparents lived on Gabriola. When I moved to Victoria at the age of 18 I did get many chances to visit Salt Spring! What a beautiful place~! Now I am east of Macon but west of Augusta!

I lived just west of Hull for a few years, loved it there! And, yeah, I know I-75 quite well!I asked about Salt Spring because I once had a friend living there. Never been myself but, I understand it's unique and beautiful. If you're near Milledgeville, then you're not from from Hull. Well, Hull, Georgia that is. :)

I know Macon , it was me 3rd load I picked up in the States , woods with tarp @ over 100 F , it was hell in there ! lol .Ah ha! Now I know. It was you, you, you, altima, hauling those FEMA coffins up the highway near Elberton (http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=231989.0) last year.
No it was giant plastic tubes , woods was close by , just remembered now
Took I-75 S when going in some places in Alabama also , memories !
Whilst I feel incredibly out of place here, I'm jumping right in with both feet! I am Canadian and have been living in Georgia the past 11 years. My first computer was an HP Pavilion that came with Windows 98, brand new. In 2005 I bought a laptop with XP.
This past October, we built a desktop for me and I installed Windows 7 on it. Darn if they didn't mess up my XP! I love to mess with things, delete the crap, replace browser, email, office packs, etc. I no longer knew where to find everything. I had XP down to a science, even made nlite discs for restores. Win7 had so much stuff running in the background I was no longer sure what was safe to disable!
I've always wanted to run Linux, so after several months of monkeying with W7, I deleted it and installed Linux Mint 14 last week.
Not so bad, running the Cinnamon desktop, but I still feel like it's not pure enough for me. I want to have what I want on my PC, not what I am spoon fed!
Granted, I know nothing about Linux or Terminal, or most things computer related, but I managed to check the ISO image following the Wiki instructions, I have the right file! Woohoo, and I've burned my first DVD using Linux so I think I can figure out the rest. Though I may come begging for help now and then!
I'm no spring chicken (47), but I have a 9 year old and he keeps me young and willing to learn new things. Maybe if I install this on his laptop he will pick it up fast and be my tutor!!
Sorry for the long ramble, usually I am shy as a dormouse, but I am pumped about this new challenge I've set for myself! 8)
Also, if you do have a need for whatever reason to use the Arch forum, you are best advised to keep it to yourself that you are using Manjaro.Thanks handy, for the welcome and the advice!
Also after using the Terminal for a bit it'll quickly start to become second nature ;)Thanks for the welcome! I am actually looking forward to making the terminal second nature. Call me crazy!
If you're near Milledgeville, then you're not from from Hull. Well, Hull, Georgia that is. :) You are lucky to be roughly equidistant from both the sea to the southeast and the mountains to the north, both only about 3 hours drive by car.I do actually know that Hull as well! Athens is a pretty cool town, been there once! Only been to Tybee Island twice so far. Considering I grew up on the Pacific, that's just not enough ocean time! :'(
I do actually know that Hull as well! Athens is a pretty cool town, been there once! Only been to Tybee Island twice so far. Considering I grew up on the Pacific, that's just not enough ocean time!I know plenty of old goats in the mountains. But, the only moose I've seen was used to coiffe hair. :D
As far as the mountains, LMAO I tease southerners that they have no clue what a mountain is! I used to ski on the west coast and spent lots of time in the Rockies! Do the Georgian mountains even have moose or mountain goats? Longest I've ever lived anywhere is in Georgia, there is something about it....
I know plenty of old goats in the mountains. But, the only moose I've seen was used to coiffe hair. :DYou're a funny one! Once met a moose at a four way stop, I was on a motorcycle, he was still bigger than me! Would not want him in my hair!
@ ariane_c , then you must know Thomson , Ga then ! Went there couple of times .Ahhh yes! Love it there, a friend of mine was in charge of reclaiming the land in the mountains. Great place for rock hunting. My son loved to go up there with them before he was in school. Very serene, great place for a kid to explore.
Welcome aboard StealthLinux , love that name by the way . Hope you ll enjoy iy here & stay for a while !
StealthPenguin, welcome.
sounds like you've been around the Linux block a few times & it's great that you're giving Manjaro a go. i'm the other end of the spectrum - only started out with Linux 3 months ago & after a brief but enjoyable time on Mint, i found Manjaro & am now running it on 2 notebooks. Xfce is my favourite. i look forward to hearing about your first impressions of the OS.
Go well meantime.
Ruziel.
Wellcome to our all new members. Glad you all have here.
BTW Accept my apologies friends. I have several times tried to upload the new KDE ISO but unfortunately it has ended for me as disappointment.
Above all, I was tired of installing new versions 2 times a year or work with old software
More power to Kuala Lumpur!
Hey guys.
Xubuntu to Manjaro here. First time on arch distro and learning thanks to the good folks here and in irc.
Some small bugs so far but nothing I've seen that is terrifying.
Looks like ill be on here for a while. It all started cuz every time I add a monitor to Ubuntu it breaks xorg and nvidia. Takes hours to fix. I finally said f it. Xubuntu wouldn't even work with my new 27" IPS monitor, let alone the 24 sitting next to it.
Manjaro open source version works perfect. Some adjusting on the xfce side and now it's working perfect.
I look forward to learning the package system and overall looking for stability so I can work every day without worry of something costing me more useless time (add monitor).

Hi everyone, greetings from Germany ! Been using Lubuntu last, but I tried anything, including all kinds of Mint, Crunchbang, Bodhi, Archbang, Siduction, LMDE, even vanilla Arch ... must say, Manjaro is one of the best, certainly the best Arch- based ...
Feels like this is the beginning of a great friendship
Celta, welcome - beautiful part of the world you live in! My family & I spent some time in Santiago de Compostella & absolutely loved it. I would like to do the full walk/pilgrimage one day. So Manjaro is now running on machines in Galicia!Ruziel thank so much for warm welcome.
Murat, great to have you joining us - I think you will find us warm & keen to help where needed. I'm a newbie but the least I can do is give you a warm hello ;)
WELCOME.
Ruziel.
Welcome aboard New England rep , I might live like an hre or 2 from you, As for your Ham Radio rig , what do you have buddy !
Hullu basisti, welcome! great to have you on board & we hope you stay for the ride. i'm also highly impressed with the distro & am now running it on both machines, after a decade with XP. you'll find lots of heavy metal fans on here who enjoy single malt - i'm not a metal head but will never say no to a good single malt.Thanks.
more power to you senor.
Ruziel.
westend, welcome & glad to see you are using Manjaro for business. i ran my small biz on XP for a decade & moved to Manjaro a couple of months ago - currently using it with Xfce on both machines & not looking back - smooth as anything & solid as Mt Kilimanjaro that it's named after. good to have u here & hope u stick around with us for 2013 & beyond! more power to you, Ruziel.Thanks!
Hi,
My name is Matti, but you can call me Masa. I live in Finland. I like to ride motorcycles, play electric bass and listen to heavy metal music. Other activities are kettlebell and barbell workouts. My weaknesses are dark chocolate and singlemalt whiskies (with a good scifi/fantasy book or movie).
My linux experience started with an old Ubuntu (can't remember version) and newer versions with Unity started to become too heavy for my hardware. So I then tried Peppermint 3, Precise and Slacko Puppy and other stuff. They worked wonderfully and Slacko Puppy will remain my backup distro (I use it from the pendrive). I really can't remember how I discovered Manjaro, but I installed 0.8.3. openbox to one of my older laptops at the end of the last year and it was love at first sight. When 0.8.4. came it was even better and that's the way it should be. Evolving. I think I have found my main distro and I hope I have a long relationship with Manjaro. Keep up the good work and thanks for the team.
thank you for the Welcome - I work only low power H.F. currently use a Ten-Tec R4030 mini rig.
Hi everybody,
I am from West of Germany - Frankfurt. Linux user since 2005. Arch Linux user since 2008. Manjaro is installed on my office laptop (without any Windows!), to try it as an enterprise version of Arch. I installed it with Cinnamon, although my other two laptops (home and trips ultrabook) have gnome-shell.
Lets see how it works. :)
Hello everyone,
I'm from Austria, Vienna and currently studying Computer Science in England, Birmingham. I've been playing around with Linux distributions for a while now,
I went from Ubuntu -> Open Suse -> Linux Mint -> Manjaro. I have to say I still am a complete newbie at everything and I'm thankful for all of the help I've received
from people in this forum and others.
Nice to meet you all! :)
I came upon Linux/Ubuntu/OpenSouce in 2005. Was probalbly more interested philosophically, but started tinkering about then. Linux has been a love/hate affair of mine for the past several years. I've been an exclusive Mac user since my days at Uni in the late 90's, but am looking (always looking ;D) for the right time to switch and commit. I came to Manjaro from the fine guys at TuxRadar Podcast and Linux Format... it was a throwaway comment in the podcast that caught me, "pre-configured Arch." I've really been enjoying Arch, but just don't feel ready for those Big Boy Pants yet. A month of Manjaro has been ace!
Cheers.
aceuve, welcome! let us know how the set-up on your notebook goes & give the forum a shout if you have any problems. best to you in Cardiff from South Africa. cheers, Ruziel.
now I'm living and working in Cardiff
welcome archuser! i hope you stick around for at least the rest of the year & help us to collectively ensure that Manjaro realises it's undoubtedly great potential.
onwards & upwards senor!
Ruziel.
Hello everyone,
I came here from Debian and Linux Mint Debian Edition.
So far, Manjaro surprised me and, hopefully, will continue to do so. Time will tell I guess.
WELCOME
Our Rolling is real
Hi,everyone!my name is wusuping,i'm from China.
I switched to Linux fulltime Oct 2012 after my Windows7 Hdd died. I couldn't make a backup before it died and I just won't pay for a restore CD just to get Windows 7 back. I have run Linux in the past, as duel boot. After getting settled, I decided to give Manjaro a look and have it installed and am running it full time.
Hello everyone! I'm Andrew, and I am from Dayton, Ohio in the United States. I work in tech support and have been using Linux for about a year now. I started with Linux Mint on my home computer. I discovered Manjaro this past November.
Oh, I'm 84 years old and live in Australia.
New to the forum, not to Linux necessarily, but always a student. I am 33 ex-tech support jack-of-all-whatevers: T1, bonded T1/voip-convergence/routing/switching/small-biz and also did a stint working for M$ as a contractor for xtremeConsulting. Anyhow, after a year or so pretending to give a rat's ass about Enterprise Exchange for Fortune 500's, I lost the (very nice paying) job and decided it was high time to get a degree in something [high-school dropout, ex-failed-rockstar-wannabe that I am]. Being paid now by Unemployment to grab an AAS in network design and admin. During the course of which, (pun?), I've converted away from M$ as I reasonably could, and am trying to re-learn everything I *thought* I knew about computing/networking environments a'la a newfound appreciation as discovered through tinkering (which as we all know M$ doesn't really love its users to do much of ...but I will say Powershell is neat - only that it mimics bash so hey, why pretend anymore?)
Crunchbang (Debian is very easy going) had been my flavor of choice for about a year (and I've tried a few other flavors and mixups and DEs and WMs and franken-systems), but after a few weeks' playing around, I've switched brews. I am digging Manjaro. Now that the obligatory introduction is out-the-way - and whilst my children are finally asleep - I amoff to scour forums, wikis, etc. ..Promise to holla at someone if I run into anything needing clarity! Thanks.
Hi, everyone. I started off with using Linux Mint Cinnamon two months ago in January, after many, many years on Windwoes and DOS as a developer and software engineer. I couldn't bear the thought of going to Windwoes 8 so I jumped in and went the whole hog.
I heard about Manjaro just the other day and thought I'd give it a go. Well, I was very impressed. For such a young distro it's really well polished. Kudos to the devs.
I managed to install Manjaro on a pair of 128GB SATAIII SSDs in RAID0. This OS just screams along. Even firefox starts quick.
Oh, I'm 84 years old and live in Australia.
Cheers.
Hello all!
My first *nix OS was Xenix on Tandy equipment back in the 80's! I was a young dude then. 48 now...
Anyway, started linux with RedHat a LONG time ago. disc by mail. I have a 1 year old computer, low cost emachines EL-1358G with built in Nvidia gForce 6150SE graphics. Ubuntu CHOKES on this. Got it working well with OpenSuse 12.3 but was not happy really.
Just grabbed Manjaro today and thus far, VERY happy! Graphics support "out of the box"!
Anyway, I live in a small town called Estacada in the Portland Oregon metro area.
Looking forward to really getting this box setup!

Hi guys.
I have been using Manjaro now for 3 days after exclusively using Ubuntu, then, after Unity was introduced ,Debian and after Gnome 3 infected it and after they broke 64 bit support on 32 bit systems, then Linux Mint systems for a coupe of years.
Never dared to install Arch, as the installation always seemed to tricky for me, but now, after a friend pointed me to Manjaro, I am really statisfied.
It's fast, it's flexible, maybe also thanks to AUR access and it feels so much more suitable to my needs than any other OS i have used before.
After 3 days of using it I think i will keep it as my main productivity system.
Had some minor issues with loked package management and getting my epson usb printer to work when I first used it, but everything could easily be fixed thanks to some great wikis, some internet research and also thanks to very friendly and helpful people on the Manjaro IRC chat.
I am from northern germany by the way, using 64 bit with the MATE desktop.
Keep up the good work, I will promote Manjaro among my friends.

Hi I'm from Mexico, this is my first time with Manjaro, I proven other distros like Debian, Linux Mint, Fedora, Solus, Ubuntu, my name is Luis and I hope to be of help as soon as a user with more knowledge in this distro. ;D
Wellcome mike525914!
I'm here for a month and have to tell it's a GREAT community! I'm surprised that seems people lives here :o
Post any doubt freely, cause there is always someone ready to help.

Hi, another one jumping aboard. I've been using a lot of distros since 2007 when I started with Ubuntu, I consider myself a distro hopper who keeps going back to Arch. Guess I'm getting too old for the job as I no longer have the patience slash skills to deal with it, so here I am looking for an easier approach to Arch advantages. Hope I can settle here and give a hand when it's needed. I'm from Spain, btw.
Hi, Manjaro Brothers^^. I'm from Germany and used many many many distro's before i sawed manjaro Linux :D. I Used Arch Linux, Debian and derivates (Ubuntu, LM, Zeven OS Neptune, sparkylinux etc..) and some others like Sabayon, Opensuse, Mageia. Every Distro had an issue with my Notebook don't know why :D but Manjaro has no problems runs perfect on my Notebook.
Thanks for this Great OS,
greetings from Germany.

Hi to all!!! My name is Menelaos, i am from Greece. Been with linux for 4 months now, and i went from mint(wile trying as many distros as i could through it) to manjaro openbox, and i just love it! fantastic distro, i am a bit new to linux and i hope i can manage it. what worries me the most is braking stuff.. cos it is really hard form me to put them back together. the install was very manageable and fast! and i could find all i needed in the forums to fix my update glitch, and put my main progs and game up, whitch is world of warcaft, and i was pleased i was able to make it run so fast!Welcome aboard! Enjoy the stay.
Fantastic work guyz! wish you the best for the future!
May the linux force be with you all!
Been using Manjaro for a couple of days and am pleasantly surprised. I've been using Linux since my Windows 98 died. I started with proprietary versions, SuSe, Mandrake and even Lindows. I started building my own PCs and experimenting with other flavors, Blag, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. I bought a bunch of Linux Bibles and got really into it. I stuck to deb/rpm flavor. I was looking for something to play around with while waiting for the major upgrade to my favorite distro (SolusOS). I downloaded the new Cinnamon and it just didn't work for me. I added the Xfce Deskstop and it really rocks. I've been able to find solutions to my problems here in this forum and in the Google+ Community. Hats off to the developers. This old dawg is learning new tricks.Welcome aboard! Enjoy the stay.
Hello!Welcome aboard! Enjoy the stay.
I am Saeed from Iran. I have not yet installed Manjaro, but downloaded and ready to install.
I have been using Linux mint for a while and then tried to install Arch but failed.
Now Manjaro is a new hope to try and use sort of Arch.
May it be my main OS forever!
Thanks to creators and developers!
Matt from Ohio, U.S.
Just started with Manjaro a couple days ago and so far, it is very nice.
Me too - just couldn't resist the smooth livecd with great performance and stylish looking distro.
Tried installation in 0.8.4 cinnamon but couldn't get it to work because of the kernel panic issue.
(Think it was grub related).
Just installed 0.8.5 openbox just this morning. All is well, so far. Do have a few kinks that should
be resolved.
Happy to be here...
Cheers.

Hello!
I am medical student from Serbia. Yesterday I finally said goodbye to M$ Window$ and replaced it with Manjaro 0.8.5 XFCE 64bit on my laptop Asus K52JT. I tried many linux distros in past 5-6 months and finally found the best one for me. My laptop runs cooler and that is the thing I like the most. Installing proprietary drivers for amd gpu was easy. Only one thing that I would like to see is hardware acceleration for flash videos (YouTube) in browsers for linux. Only way I can get it is by using XBMC with Youtube addon and enabled VA-API.
Hello! An italian linux user, very very inexpert but an user-friendlyness lover
Hope you guys will enjoy my "incompetence"
Hi all, been using different *Nix's since early 2000's and installed Manjaro on my laptop and I love it! Great work!
Regards from Dominican Republic!Welcome aboard! Enjoy the stay.
Im new to the linux world!.. Im using Manjaro with Openbox 0.8.4 and i like it a lot!
I hope to learn so much about linux and about this distro too
GrettingS!
Then i read about Manjaro, installed it on my ThinkPad T500 and i'm really suprised that it "runs like hell".
sudo systemctl enable systemd-readahead-collect systemd-readahead-replay
Enable readahead and it will boot even faster.
I've used various Linux distros for a while, but have just installed Manjaro for the first time. I think it's a keeper! I'm a web designer, and these days do all my work under Linux. It seems like the Manjaro community is awesome, and I look forward to taking part.
Hi at Manjaro, I am a more experienced Linux user for more than 10 years, when I decided to fire all windows progs from my computers. Then I lived in Ubuntu world, but was always curious enough to try different OS. Now I came across Manjaro, because I was looking for a good distro to work on an old eepc, and Lubuntu is a bit boring. And, i 've found the great I3 wm Manjaro respin, which has a lot of power. So, my netbook is running safe and fast and I managed to customize, I've learned a lot about tiling managers and I am getting used to an other Linux world. Thanx for this wonderful forum which offers a lot of help if u can use search... :-)))
I am living in Vienna, Austria, and would be glad to have some contacts around ;-)

Hi there from Munich/Germany!
Ever wanted to install Arch, but haven't had enough time (Wife & Daughter ;-) to read the guides on Archwiki. Then i read about Manjaro, installed it on my ThinkPad T500 and i'm really suprised that it "runs like hell". Everything works like it should (installed tlp & tp_smapi etc.).
Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful Arch-based Distro.

Hey all!!!
I'm Mario from Jamaica and I'm just 20. My Linux story began in 2010 with Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). I had a PC running Windows 7 with 1.5 GB of RAM. The 1 GB stick went bad and I started looking for ways to speed up my desktop cuz I had school work to get done and the slow PC was really cutting int my productivity. Enter Lucid Lynx and my crawling desktop started jogging. A few weeks later I discovered LXDE, installed it with compiz and the desktop with 512 MB worth of RAM started sprinting and looked pretty darn good too !!! I was hooked on Linux.
Since then I've purchased my own laptop (Acer Aspire i3 processor @ 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM) and have been distrohopping to find the best distro for my needs. Found Manjaro just over a month ago through Lou and Spatry on Youtube and haven't looked back. Now running Compiz-Standalone based on the most recent openbox release and I love every minute of it. Never thought I'd see the day that my 64 bit system running compiz could boot up in under 20 seconds and start up fully using under 220 MB worth of RAM and move so ridiculously fast!!!!
I know it's been a long intro but I'm really passionate about Linux and that passion has been turning to frustration lately with all the confusion on the linux desktop but Manjaro has restored my passion once more. Kudos to the Manjaro devs!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Hey I am Paul, not new to Linux, but new to the Manjaro forums. I have been using Manjaro now for about a month or so, and love it. My main distros over the last 6-7 years were Debian, Ubuntu, Opensuse and Arch. I have to say that Manjaro is the only distro that I have ever really been truly satisfied with. It is a very fast and stable distro. I love it. Also the community seems very friendly and helpful, which is something you cannot say about some other distros. I think it time to stop distro-hopping now and keep Manjaro.Welcome aboard.
I have been using my flavor of Manjaro based on ArchBang for a couple months (used net install and built from there). It is the distro I use regularly. I have been very happy with the updates and the amount of information about them in the blog. I am a forum Moderator and wiki contributor over at ArchBang. I will start hanging out here as well since the Manjaro base is really what I am using.Welcome aboard. Its really nice to see some experienced Linux user switch to Manjaro. :)
My install is not far from the Openbox version, but using my preferred applications and skip the login manager. I do miss the LTS kernel from the Arch repos. I actually downloaded the package and manually installed with pacman -U. I am also running GRUB(legacy). It does the job I want and I am comfortable with manually configuring it.
Thanks Manjaro team and all volunteers for making a good rolling release distro!
Hello all. My name is Sean. This is my first time using Manjaro but have been using Mint/Ubuntu for past 2 or so years. Felt like it was time to upgrade to something nicer haha. I currently live in Atlanta, GA. I am not an extremely experienced Linux user as some of you seem to be but am greatly looking forward to learning more and talking with y'all!Welcome aboard.
hello all. just install manjaro and it's beautiful
Hi!
I started with Linux around four years ago with ubuntu, and then, after they tried more and more to look and feel like a Mac, I switched to Mint.
I still think that Mint does an excellent job as a distro, it's just... well. Since it's based on ubuntu, it too becomes more and more bloated with every new release. It's mighty, alright. It's comfortable. But it's slow, and, frankly, it starts to get boring. Because everything works the way it's supossed to, I don't have to adapt, don't have to learn new things. But I want to.
I was curious about Arch since I heard about it the first time, but I was always put off by the experience required to do anything with it. I'm not totally inapt with Linux, but still probably only half as clever with it as I think I am (by the way, the hint during the installation process for manual partitioning - 'If you have no idea what this words mean, please use the assistant' - just made my day ). So I'm trying Manjano, and I have to say, I like it. I love how fast it is, and the idea of all the possibilities that lie just underneath the surface is pretty exciting. Just have to see how deep I want to get.
I have a few issues i'm not sure how to handle, but all in all, excellent distro,
Hi I just downloaded, about to install Manjaro. Started out with Linux mint, then Zenwalk, then Slackware, to Fedora. Ive been using Fedora about a year. Wanted to try something new and here I am.
glad to see many changes and improvement around here. I'm running Manjaro again.
best to victimize the ubuntu netbook to begin , come from a corner he dont exspect you :p
Welcome @adrianhoohaha. We will try to help :)
I do like ubuntu but, I can see where it's going and don't feel it's for me.I bet you made the right choice. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the stay!
Then back to manjaro ...
Hi,Welcome aboard. Enjoy the stay!
I am a 28-old student "forever" currently in The Netherlands but origins are German/Finnish. Recently been tinkering a lot with Linux and now found the system and community that responds to my needs. Still discovering new features as well
Hi my name is Brad and I am currently stationed in Alabama with the US Coast Guard. I've been using Linux since Ubuntu 7.04. After the Unity fiasco I moved to Fedora and then Arch. I was really happy with Arch and stayed with it for a year. Eventually it became a pain to keep 4 computers running it with military deployments. I migrated to Mint and thought the Cinnamon desktop was awesome. However, 6 months into the install my wife had a real problem with the amount of time it took to boot into Mint on her laptop and demanded I put Arch back on the machines. After, spending 4 hours unsuccessfully installing Arch due to optimus, x-org, and/or systemd I gave up. That is when I found Manjaro. I have to tell you that was the easiest optimus/bumblebee install I have ever seen. So far I am very impressed with this distribution & if you guys keep up the good work then I'm home. Cinnamon on a rolling release is the best any Linux user could hope for. I tried the XFCE flavor & it is fast but a little sparse for my taste.
Hello all, I am currently downloading Manjaro 0.8.5.2 xfce and decided to go ahead and register while I was waiting, right now im running Debian tracking jessie but wanted to give manjaro a try.
About me: My name is Ken I am 33 from california, been using linux for nearly 8 years, 5 years as my primary os and 3 years as my sole os. I consider myself an all around geek, i simply love technology. Currently i'm learning website design (html 5, css3 and javascript) as well as programming (mostly java and python), I also make android roms in my spare time.
hello kenharkey7! glad to see an anime fan here :D welcome to the forums! :D
im glad to see someone who is glad to see an anime fan lol
First time using Manjaro (or anything Arch-based, really.) as a main OS. Before, I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu on two separate partitions, but decided to format and try going full Linux for once.
Hello everyone!
I am Drakasin and I've been distro hopping for about three months (as a total newbie) and now I am landed here. I'll be staying for a while ( maybe this will finally be THE distro I'll enjoy the most and I'll be able to settle so I can finally learn how to operate the damn Terminal). For how long? Only time will tell. Also, greetings from the Czech Republic (and greetings to all anime and FiM fans!)
Hi All
Puppy Linux here I have just started a full bootcamp series on Manjaro linux over on youtube link is below hope to have a ton of fun with Manjaro :-*
http://www.youtube.com/user/PuppyLinuxWorld (http://www.youtube.com/user/PuppyLinuxWorld)
I have a 50Gb partition (I presume this is SDA1) for Windows Vista Business and confused as to install Manjaro using CFDISK.
I tried lastnight to install it from the DVD, but I think I have 'trashed' my Vista partition in the process.
However, a lot of crucial software was broken, mainly (in my view) because the AUR system means that buggy, unmaintained software is prevalent in anything not actually officially in the Official Repositories.
Don't presume/assume anything, check with sudo fdisk -lHello mips,
Secondly I suggest you download the latest release 0.8.6. Pick whether you want XFCE, KDE, Opbox or Netinstall and 32-bit/64-bit.

Was it really necessary to specify my kernel, video card & driver just to register?
Hi all. I'm Christo from South Africa. I installed Manjaro(KDE) because I need to learn Linux. Now I have access to a great community to guide me as well as an excellent OS that just works. Thank you to all the developers and I hope to see Manjaro on DistroWatch Top Ten :)
hi i'm a former crunchbang user and looking for a new distro with rolling release. nice to meet you all! :)
You guys should try linuxbbq if you like #!.
Hi guys,
I'm from Indonesia. I just installed Manjaro yesterday and I'm using OpenBox DE, I really like it ;D
I've been tried some other rolling release distro but this is the first time I'm satisfied...
Well... that's it. :D

nico470, welcome! You write crackingly good English for a 2nd language speaker. Anyone who has installed Manjaro on his Dad's PC gets my vote, that's for sure. I share your excitement at having discovered Manjaro. When I moved from XP at the start of the year, Mint was my first stop but having stumbled upon this OS & community, it was a "no brainer" - fast, light, up-to-date & rolling, with a positive community. Roland, Phil & Guillaume have some very exciting things planned & it's sure to be a great ride. I look forward to seeing you around the forum, with your erudite posts. More power to you Nicolas - the Force is with you. Ruziel.
Welcome nico740,Thanks, man! =)
Incidentally, I note the existence of a French forum. ;)
Hello to all. Recently installed Manjaro, figuring some things out. This is a very polished distro and seems to perform very good.
tintin, welcome! ;)Cheers Ruziel,
If you don't really need W8 & you're loving Manjaro, why not ditch it? Either way, it's good to have you here.
See u around.
Ruziel.
Well my name is Mark. I've been using Ubuntu based distros for about a couple of years and finally decided to check out Manjaro Xfce. 0.8.7. So for after a day of using it, I'm really liking it a lot and it may just be my new distro. The only thing that I can't seem to get working is G++ since I like to use Geany for learning c++. Other then that so far I don't have any problems with 8.07.Any help with g++ will be great.
sudo pacman -S base-develHere gcc is present.
Code: [Select]sudo pacman -S base-develHere gcc is present.
Thanks. I'll have to install it to see if it works. I've only been using Manjaro for a couple of days, so I'm still learning it.
Just installed base-devel and Geany won't compile gcc. It's saying it needs g++.Dont know about geany, but type in your terminal
g++ --versionOpen a new thread if you are having problems.Dont know about geany, but type in your terminalCode: [Select]g++ --versionOpen a new thread if you are having problems.
If you do g++
and it gives "fatal error: no input files" then g++ installed.

Hello,
My name is Devon and I live here in the United States, have been a Ubuntu user for a few years and decided for certain reasons time for change. I must say Manjaro has become one of my favourite distributions. So hello to everyone and looking forward to joining the community.

welcome all newcomers!
how many people in recent days. :o
Welcome on board, ManThank you for the warm welcome.

Manjaro is faster than Fedora and simpler than Ubuntu.
I am waiting for the day when Linux will dominate the gaming industry, thanks to valve's offensive act of Linux centrism this can happen in the near future.
I Still have to use Windows (7) for some games, tho i achieved some impressive results at using wine API layer, yet not all games are runnable using wine.
After windows 7 i won't upgrade to any farther windows systems because Microsoft is a NSA-o-phile.
...that's the reason i choose Manjaro.

arch has complexity for the sake of complexity.
Hi folks,
After building and maintaining a Linux From Scratch system for over a year
I live in South Africa & am loving using Manjaro with Cinnamon desktop! If the team continue their amazing work & the community remain positive & supportive, I predict Manjaro will be top 8 in DistroWatch by the end of the year!
SPOFF, LOL - it looks like I was right then! ;)
I remember how excited I was when I wrote that - I subsequently moved to Xfce but am still thrilled with Manjaro.
Best for the weekend all!

Hi! long time linux user here ('96...) having tried all distros you can imagine, but mainly running Debian during the last 5 years.Always great to have users from such fine heritage as Debian proper.
My first contact with Manjaro was about 6 months ago when I switched my laptop running Fedora, but later it was sold.
Yesterday I decided to switch my workstation (far more critical than my ex-laptop) from Debian for three reasons: (1) I hit a weird problem after updating the testing branch, (2) I got tired of GNOME (fallback mode) and (3) most importantly I got tired of following Debian testing which is going to enter soon another freeze cycle. For all of that I decided to try Manjaro Xfce.
Everything went perfect, just had some minor things to tweak as expected.
Keep up the wonderfull work with this nice distro.

Hi everyone. I'm Kev from Devon in the UK. Have tried many times to move from windows to linux and have always failed (Bloody Terminal) Gonna give it one last ditch attempt based on the comments in your community saying how helpful and friendly you are. So wish me luck before i have to pay into Bills retirement fund again!
Welcome all newcomers
@Kev you'll find Manjaro pretty easy to get on with and the community here do always try their best to help :)
rfk1ll 2.0, welcome back & good to see you here.Thank you, Im glad to be back, albeit in a more minimal capacity :)
Go well meantime. :)

Hello I'm a Canadian was running dual boot windows7 & simply mepis. Windows got infected so I wiped the hard drive & installed Manjaro to try it. So far so good.
WELCOME all Manjaro newbz. We have so many different sorts of people joining the community - nationalities, religions & other -isms, ages, aspirations, levels of GNU Linux skill.
If we remember ONE thing and one thing only, let it be to treat others the way we all want to be treated. Us moderators are here, not as your conscience, to police your thoughts & words. The reality is that a small number of people aspire to nothing more than polluting those distros who's communities are thriving the most - that is where the most attention resides, for the aspiring troll.
As for the rest of everyone here, please speak your heart and mind, make friends, argue, disagree & share knowledge and ideas.
More power to you all, whether you use Manjaro for a day, a week or a decade.
See u around.
Ruziel ;)
I am an official Debian-Maintainer (DM) for the Fluxbox WM package.If you've been the maintainer for a long time, then i used your package for years. :)
Hello. I'm new to manjaro. I've been jumping between Debian-based stuff and Arch-based stuff for many years now on my computers. So far, I like manjaro--except, on startup, I have to hit it with the "hdparm -B 254" command...otherwise the Load_Cycle_Count takes off like a jet.Please do correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this a bug in the firmware of some Western Digital drives that can be resolved with a firmware update?
Please do correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this a bug in the firmware of some Western Digital drives that can be resolved with a firmware update?YES and NO.
The NO part: Unless Western Digital changed their modus operandi recently, they have never released any linux-compatible firmware updates.
As a beginner, use the (standard) Xfce version, Ammar. And welcome to Manjaro.
Hi to all another one on board, from Italy.
be patient cause i'm no more young and sometimes i could ask stupid questions, but i would do my homework before asking.

Greetings from Russia to Manjaro's community!Hello! It my friend.
I know Manjaro not much time, but i loved it, so much that i started russian language community http://manjaro.ru/
Hello my name is Zach and on the interwebs use Techinstein and 8BitBacon as my alias. Started use Manjaro came across this issue.. o.o
Anyways I have an nVidia GeForce 660m and I cant seem to get the driver from yaourt -S nvidia-beta-all I seem to run into nvidia libgl conflicts it says something else interferes with it. Also are their custom kernels for manjaro or arch based linux os's that are made to increase battery life and keep same performance?
Heres what I did to Concy RC too --- <--- rememer new to linux in general by a couple of months but know the code and found conky rc edit.
Hello from Norway:)
I'm coming from Arch and Debian but i have used Manjaro XFCE edition for a month but went back to Arch. Then i discovered Manjaro Openbox and since i used to run Debian Sid with Openbox i want to try it out on this laptop and i am impressed :) Still running Debian and Arch on other laptops but i am considering to swith on the other 2 laptops.
Very good work on this distro and coming from Arch i realy like the Manjaro hardware detection tool. It has never been easier to install the legacy drivers for my ATI gpu card :)
Take care.
We don't say RTFM around here. We say RTFM PLEASE
Oh Norway..Sweden here :)
Tbh i didnt wanna mess up my system by trying to install the Legacy drivers so i turned off Ati in Bios and using freeones and Intel...computer feels better not beeing so hot :D
Welcome all!
One of the things I love about Manjaro is the great documentation. The wiki has a ton of information in it (http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Main_Page) and when that doesn't lead to resolution, I can usually work out the answer with either the Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/) or a specific man page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Man_page).
Welcome aboard \0
Hello I'm new. I'm planning to try out manjaro in the near future. One of the reason is due to the performance issues I have with Ubuntu 13.10 and how sluggish it is. I don't know if it has anything to do with the drivers. Yesterday I had a to wait a few minutes for it to do it's thing since I couldn't click on anything. And I didn't have very much open. Eventualy it I was able to use it again. I'm a little impatient but it was getting ridiculous.
My machine is a Intel Core i7-920 2.4Ghz but I usually bump this up to 3.0Ghz. 8GB RAM, I think I can go a little higher. Motherboard is an ASUS PT6-Deluxe V2. I also use an Nvidia 285 GTX video card.
Based on this distribution, which would you recommend for my setup. I'm looking for performance. Especially with youtube and videos through the browser. I've had not so good performance comprared to windows in Ubuntu. Looking for a change.
Thanks everyone.
Hello, I wish to install manjaro on my computer and i've difficulties. I hope to find of the help here.
Sorry for my english beacause i'm french.
Hi there, Manjaro folk.
I'm currently shopping around for a new distro outside of the *buntu/Debian realm, and like what I've seen so far with 0.8.8. Of course it's not perfect (yet ;) ), and I really only know enough about Linux to be a danger to myself, so I'll ask you all to forgive me in advance for what will undoubtedly be a series of asinine questions.
XFCE is too resource hungry for my laptop with only 500MB RAM.Hmm i really need to get around to putting out that Xfce-lite/pure ISO, which has a memory footprint less than the Manjaro Openbox editions, and way more functionality. :P
Hmm i really need to get around to putting out that Xfce-lite/pure ISO, which has a memory footprint less than the Manjaro Openbox editions, and way more functionality. :P
Yeah, I'm not sure what it is.. My openbox installs usually idle around 90MB and XFCE about 115MB which seems like no big difference, but the XFCE installs are always REALLY slow for some reason. (Never tried Manjaro XFCE though)

Hello,
I am from Belgium and have been using linux for some years now. I am actually running crunchbang and want to move to Manjaro.
I also just bought a little house in Guagualzhumi, hence the profile name, near Cuenca, Ecuador.
I have some trouble with the installation: (input/output error with lxterminal) but that's probably related to the old usb key.
Happy newyear to all.
Hello. Been using Manjaro on and off for around a year. I love it. Just did a fresh install coming form debian. Im having problems gettingb youtube.com to even load as a web page. I can load plenty of other video sites, any of them. Just cant load youtube.com. Other than that, this is my style of OS. Im from California, USA.
Hi all. I just installed manjaro after I really messed up my previous crunchbang installation.
I'm kind of a novice user but have been on and off installing linux in various forms for ten years or so.
I felt that Arch seemed like my philosophy but was a little more comfortable with the user friendliness here.
Looking forward for a grea time of learning and doing.
Hello to all !
I'm Ron from Flemish Belgium.
After getting tired of burning my hand on my trusty but overheating dualcore Amilo PI laptop and waiting for Win7 to boot,update,freeze...
and after my old P4 desktop got bored of good old XP and died... i started looking into linux... again.
As a boy i used a Vic20, C64, Amiga 500 and 1200.
When the platform kinda retired and Redhat, Suse, Mandriva and such came in the puplic eye i had more fun just being a punky teenager and left the computers gathering dust.
When i hit the dreaded midlife-crisis and i, as many men do , i started looking back and was pleasantly surprised when i rediscovered the Right way to use a computer again.
Ubuntu... what can i say... it's developed into... something...
Linux Mint seemed very nice... the Pi ran a lot cooler and i myself got less and less afraid of "THE TERMINAL" :o
Mint Maya with Cinnamon 2 works and looks just great and has a healthy dose of common sense about it... but the laptop started heating up as the upgrades came...
Hmmm, what else was there about ???
Time for the next level... i met a snottynose wizkid who told me about Arch.
Since i was already testing Bodhi E17, the step to Manjaro was the next logical thing for me.
So, hello to all !
Ron
Hi, all!
I had been distro hopping for a long time, but I think I've found a place where I'd like to stay for a long time, the place being Manjaro. While I'm not an absolute fan and I still run Manjaro on my desktop, I run a different distro on my laptop simply because for some reason no matter how I tweak Manjaro, I still have some hardware issues and overheating problem.
So, I've come to Manjaro not so much because of the distro itself, which is amazing by the way, but mostly because after following Manjaro for some time I came to realize that at the moment this is the best linux distro community I've seen so far. So I'd like to thank both the development team and the community members for making this place what it is! Let's keep being awesome!
Best wishes!
OK Everyone Im new. I have been absolutely tearing my hear out, trying to get a successful installation of Linux, particularly Linux on 3 different machines now and also trying with virtual box, but with absolutely no success despite spending hours pouring through installation instructions and you tube videos etc. I've been using computers for 30 years, but this is a challenge.

Hello, I'm brazilian and ever want install arch distro ... Manjaro is wonderful ... I love it
Hi guys,
I'm an ex-machinist (time to go to back to school) from Germany, Frankonia in detail.
I've been on linux since about 2002. Starting with SuSE and had my way of disthopping with RedHat, OpenSUSE, (K/X/L)Ubuntu, Debian, LMDE, Arch and finally endet up with Manjaro.
So here's a big hello to the Manjaro community.
I live in South Africa & am loving using Manjaro with Cinnamon desktop! If the team continue their amazing work & the community remain positive & supportive, I predict Manjaro will be top 8 in DistroWatch by the end of the year!
I'm Will, aged 14, born in London, grew up in Wales, distro-hopped for 3 YEARS!!! I loved (and still) XFCE desktops. I have settled with Manjaro since 19/2/14. Loving it! Manjaro Linux XFCE x64. Glad to have settled. Got Manjaro Linux Openbox x32 on my laptop, xfce x64 on my desktop. Learning so much more with Manjaro! Found it on Distrowatch. Hopefully going to do distro reviews soon! :D I LOVE #MANJAROLINUXWelcome Will! My 13 year old son and I are both Manjaro enthusiasts.
Welcome Will! My 13 year old son and I are both Manjaro enthusiasts.
Welcome to you both, but you're not very talkative. ;D
Just installed Netbook edition on my Samsung NC10. Really really impressed that XFCE works ok.
Recognizes my sound & screen brightness out of the box too.
Struggling to install dropbox but will persevere.
Many thanks to the Manjaro team.
hello manjaro lovers ;D
i'm fairly new to manjaro openbox, using it since version 0.8.7 and i like the edition. 8) although, i don't recommend the openbox edition for beginners, this DE is more for intermediate to expert linux users.
linux fan since 2008 and i never looked back to windows since then.
greetings from croatia!
(no disrespect to windows users, it had just been giving me problems, so I am slightly biased against it.)
Wish me luck :)
The stability they talk about is a myth, things break with every update.What do you mean "every update"? The new release each ~2 years? The point releases?
13. Gentoo *I could get a command prompt, upon reboot. never got internet connection to work on fresh reboot. :(*
I was with a Funtoo Cinnamon during 6 months. ;) I found less bugs in it than in Gentoo. A bit surprising, because both have the same packages.
Hi to all. I am fm Greece 50yo married with children
I am new to Linux, i have used some Linux Distros so far and i want to give a try to Manjaro I tried to install Manjaro xfce 0.8.9 but i didn't manage to boot the live dvd (mdm loops) so i tried the openbox witch is installed on my laptop dual boot with win 8. I don't really like openbox and i am trying to find a solution for the xfce edition.
Image writer is not only available on Arch, but on almost all Linux and Windows.
Bienvenue à tous les deux, :)
You're not alone here speak English poorly. ;D
Hello peoples, i am a new Manjaro discovering distro hopper, And im still fiddling to see what i can and cant do with this wonderful beast called Manjaro. No words i could think of would express it better that, It is a joy to discover the LXDE community spin. I think i may have found the distro that will keep me interested enough to learn enough to migrate all my PC to Linux.
Jim
hi everyone. My name is Todor. I have been using linux for over 10 years now. Been with slackware, with mandriva, suse, even ubuntu and its derivatives.
I am a 3d enthusiast with some experience. check out my website : imovethings.blogspot.com
I have to say that Manjaro has the userfriendliness of ubuntu, with the superior packaging system, performance and flexibility of arch linux.
So I will post my details. This was an emergency gift from my brother and for now it's all I've got so it will do. It's a Mac mini (Late 2009), Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 @ 2.53 GHz 1 processor, 2 cores, 4096 MB 1067 MHz DDR3, GPU: GeForce 9400, 320GB HD.
I know unfortunately nobody can pick my DE for me, but I guess if I had a question it would be:
Is there anything I should just eliminate as an option, like KDE or something for being too heavy for my system?
Hello everyone. I'm a distro hopper. Really enjoying this one. This could very well be my daily driver.
I will post my machine specs and Manjaro experience thus far in a separate post.
And now for my first newbie question.
Is it pronounced MAN-HAR-O or MAN-JAR-O like Mount Kilimanjaro?
Cheers from Manhattan.;)
Hope these forums are "newbie"-friendly!
Hi there ! :)

Hello audiosl4ve,
Doesnt the old installer have a GUI installer too?
Welcome to the forum to you and to all! Enjoy!
My ex was croatian.. Ivanka...Oh So bittersweet! :D
Either way I figure by mid-July I'll have Manjaro up and running if not sooner.
Mid-July?!? What are you planning to do? Manjaro is designed to be up and running in no time.
Please create another topic, the current is for presentation.
