'''Manjaro''' is a user-friendly Linux distribution based on the independently developed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch_Linux 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.
