As such, it is generally considered to be beyond the reach of those who lack the technical expertise (or persistence) required to use it.

Manjaro.png
Overview

Manjaro is a user-friendly Linux distribution based on the independently developed Arch operating system. Within the Linux community, Arch itself is renowned for being an exceptionally fast, powerful, and lightweight distribution that provides access to the very latest cutting-edge and bleeding-edge software. However, Arch is also aimed at more experienced or technically-minded users. As such, it is generally considered to be beyond the reach of those who lack the technical expertise (or persistence) required to use it.

Developed in Austria, France, and Germany, Manjaro provides all the benefits of the Arch operating system combined with a focus on user-friendliness and accessibility. Manjaro follows Arch Linux and officially only offers a 64-bit version. Manjaro is suitable for both newcomers as well as experienced Linux users. For newcomers, a user-friendly installer is provided, and the system itself is designed to work fully 'straight out of the box' with features including:

  • Pre-installed desktop environments
  • Pre-installed Graphical Software Managers to easily install software and update your system
  • Pre-installed codecs to play multimedia files

For more experienced - and adventurous - users Manjaro also offers the configurability and versatility to be shaped and moulded in every respect to suit personal taste and preference. Manjaro Architect is both a CLI installer, available side by side with the graphics installer, and a CLI-based ISO giving the option to install any Manjaro flavour, and offers unflavoured DE installation, filesystem choices, and bootloader choice for those who want complete freedom to shape their system. Starting from the command line, you are completely free to chose your own greeters, desktops, hardware drivers, software applications, and so on!
