Different Linux distributions (i.e. operating systems) have been developed for different types of users, for different purposes, and for different hardware capacities. For example, distributions such as ''Mint'' or ''Zorin'' are specifically designed to apply to newcomers or those without technical expertise. At the other end of the scale, distributions such as ''Arch'' are designed for computer enthusiasts. Manjaro is designed to bridge that gap. Different '''flavours''' of a distribution means it comes with different desktop environments - you're rarely if ever stuck with whatever desktop comes pre-installed. | Different Linux distributions (i.e. operating systems) have been developed for different types of users, for different purposes, and for different hardware capacities.

===What is the difference between cutting edge and bleeding edge technology?=== | |||
Generally speaking, ''cutting edge'' refers to the latest technology that has finished development and has been fully tested. ''Bleeding edge'' technology is that which has not finished development and/or is still undergoing testing. The use of bleeding edge technology therefore carries the risk of being unreliable or unstable. | |||
