Different Linux distributions (variations of the operating system) 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 (variations of the operating system) have been developed for different types of users, for different purposes, and for different hardware capacities.
