Manjaro Linux Tops the List of ARCH Linux

 Manjaro Linux Tops the List of ARCH Linux

Basically, ARCH Linux is very difficult to comprehend.

Its frugal ways and one unit application for a specific job makes it difficult a difficult preposition to recommend it to a newbie.

I have tested but never used ARCH Linux as a daily driver.

I have for scientific and academic reasons now have tried all the variations of ARCH and come to the conclusion that Manjaro foots the bill for user friendly but considerably minimal distribution.

The /root partition does not take much but about 7.5GB. One nedd not go for a 20GB space BUT if one is installing additional software one need a big /var partition to install them. The /var partition get chockablock in no time. So, have a big /var patition.

Good points are in relation to Gnome desktop are 

1. Installation is pretty fast.

2. WiFi Configuration is smooth.

3. It has Gparted for partitioning the hard disk.

4. It has basic Browser Firefox..

5. One can install Synaptic Package Manager

6. It has its own Software Package.

Before I could finish this piece it has installed itself.

7. It updated breezily.

8. It has three version Gnome , Xfce and KDE.

9. There community distribution which I do not recommend.

10. Wallpapers and desktop appearance is soothing to the eye.

11. More importantly I can opt out of LibreOffice.
