I've got a mixed feelings after installing Manjaro 17.1
UEFI boot does not start but easy to fix with community help.
Bluetooth does not work at all - not fixed.
Boot time - sooo slow regarding to other distros.
KDE Plasma - polished, very nice looking

Pros:
-User friendly
-Relatively fast compared to other distros
-Tons of desktop environment choices
-Lots of programs available
Cons:
-pacman package manager is extremely limited in functionality and is buggy
-Unstable updates. Less bad than Arch, but still bad
-AUR is insecure but is an advertised feature
-Some iso's come with unneeded proprietary software. Steam seems fine though

Incredible distribution!
I'm with Manjaro Cinnamon and I'm surprised how stable and fast it is. And beautiful.
Previous versions of Manjaro did not recognize my printer and the scanner. Now everything is recognized. The printer and the scanner are the previous ones.
Bravo to the team!

Great user experience with KDE. Lear details or use arch bases distro was easy, some concepts change but are ok. Easy to use, super fast to install. Updates are ok, minor issues was happen but community support fixed it some click away. My new base Distro for Office (desktop and laptop) and Home (2 family's desktops),

When my old mac mini died, and I didn't want to buy another expensive Apple product, I bought a Dell 6410 and installed Manjaro on it. Since then - almost a year ago, I have gone through many distros; mostly debian and arch based. I recently tried Manjaro again - Mate edition this time, and it is excellent. The screen layout is better than compared with a year ago, and AUR continues to provide the most up to date applications and drivers for my printer and scanner. It runs cooler than previous arch distributions I have tried, and seems more stable. I know that I have said this before, but I really think I will stay with this. Hopefully there will be no system breakage, but so far so good.

I have tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint and now Manjaro. This is by far the most usable linux. Espacially it works great out of box. No driver issues. I am using Thinkpad T530 and I always had graphic card issues in Linux Mint. Very good job by the Manjaro team. Thank you!

After a couple of years with a couple of laptops on Manjaro (some Dual-Boot with win) I can say the following about Manjaro:
1. Nothing beats the satisfaction of a good rolling release distro supported by a core team and numerous polite and helpful enthusiasts. Recent versions of all software.
2. The quality has been improving over time. Only rarely do I get glitches after updates, when I do it is usually related to some AUR programs.
3. I think Manjaro is becoming stable enough to switch noobs to (instead of to mint) if their hardware is not problematic.
I never liked distro-hopping and boy am I glad to have landed with Manjaro quickly.

Have tried many distros and whilst I found MX16/17 excellent (and for a time my go to distro), Manjaro has probably ended my distro hopping days. Well done Manjaro. A lot of people in the past have said that Manjaro was unstable but I have never found it thus. It is a very, very good distro.
I think a point worth noting is that once you settle on a distro you really should stick with it for some time because whether it's a Debian derivative or an Arch derivative or indeed any Linux flavour, they all take some time to become fully familiar with. It's only after that familiarisation that you can appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of a distro.

Now running it for over a year (the well implemented KDE version). All i can say is: apart from very few speed bumps (that are usually ironed out quickly) this is spectacular Distribution.
Usually you have a trade-off between stability and newer software versions. With Manjaro you simply do not have this dilemma, you have the cake and you can eat it. This is especially nice in combination with the fast pace at which KDE Plasma is running. No need for backports or borked up sources lists, its all there (after maybe about 2-6 weeks wait). If you miss something, there is the AUR waiting for you for select packages not in the official repo (be sure you read and understand what the AUR is, however).
The forum is one of the nicest in my Linux career as well. The documentation is very good (and let's not forget the totally decent documentation of Arch that you can almost always apply to Manjaro).
So here's the rating:
Stability 9,5/10
Software support: 10/10
Documentation: 9,5/10
Support (Forum): 10/10
For me arguably the best Linux Distro money can't buy. A rock-solid rolling release Plasma (and plenty of other DEs) beauty. Soon to be No. 1 in Distrowatch and well deserved so.

Great distro.
I have used xubuntu for long time, then tried mint xfce again lately.
However, libreoffice 5 in both distros has many bugs and crash often.
It is much more stable with Manjaro.
Manjaro is fast, stable and rolling.
I have installed it on a usb stick (Lexar 64M short thumb, size as usb mouse pin)
which I leave permanently on the usb3 port. it is as fast as distros mounted
on SSD on my computer.

in short, i was that newbee hopping from distro to distro and learning a lot about the fantastic linux experiance(i still believe this was the main reason for hopping though :) ).
After all the big distro's, and all the help there is to make your distro as smooth and safe as it is possible for a newbee, and the non graphical cut the crap terminal..i like the control.
But i must say:
Mint perfect - no problems
Ubuntu almost perfect - couldn't find anyhing but found a solution myself(coincidence) ran a script to leave a maximum of kernels(which otherwise will be updated till the end of time)
Fedora - open suse perfect to almost perfect(some small issues - but nothing i could'nt handle)
And less newbee but still no expert, MANJAROOOOOOO....can't break it even if i try, or am i an expert without knowing..No honoustly....keep up the good work you guys....thumbs up

I somehow messed up my initrd on my NVMe drive as it seems (couldn't boot and wasn't able to repair using live media) but since then I had no more issues. Manjaro is my daily driver on both my Threadripper workstation and the ThinkPad. As I am a regular linux user since 1999, KDE is still my favorite window manager, I've even used some 1.x versions back then. Others might call it bloatware and resource hog but I like it's functionality that grew into it in all the years it exists now.

Install was Fast, and good hardware recognition. XFCE desktop runs well on my older hardware. Theme is a matter of taste, I changed it. Replaced Spying firefox and Thunderbird with Palemoon and Claws mail. Added hostsfile to block as much tracking and ads as possible, blocked and masked geolocation. Customised about config in palemoon for enhanced privacy and browsing speed.
So why an 8, had some troubles after updates during the last year and a half, black screen after login , printing broken twice, wifi broken all on the stable version.
When I read stuff like this from Scientist/physicist (cut and paste from his earlier review)
I think some bad opinions given below about Manjaro are of two reasons: either ignorance of the users to read manuals or some users try to pull down the rapidly growing popularity of Manjaro and to promote their favorite distro.
And this: there are no dependency problems when one uses the package manager properly. I have been following distrowatch for a while and noticed that bad reviews appear in waves. I wonder if it is a coincidence.
That is derogatory. No it is not a coincidence. Annoyed users write reviews just as trolls do.
Just look in the forums and Wiki for Manjaro and Arch to see that breakages come in waves, mostly after major changes or some with unintended effects, like driverless printing which broke cups before Christmas.
I recommend Manjaro but do not expect to always be enjoying the simplicity, you have to learn some new things on the way and with XFCE will be rewarded with a fast and responsive system. Phil and other devs do a fantastic job but on occasion things go wrong. Go back to Mint or the windows I had before NO.

It's amazingly simple yet powerful. I use Manjaro at work and at home. I was really amazed by the automatic driver detection & install tool. Installing nvidia drivers were a joy with it. I loved the preinstalled Steam too since my hobby is to play on linux. I love the rolling release model too because of the fresh softwares. I highly recommend this distro!

I think it's the very first time that a linux distro works perfectly on my PC at the very first time, without the need to manually adjust any configuration (I only changed grub theme and the desktop background... :-) ).
It's also a rolling release.
It have solid roots.
It also have a big community.
I chosed the XFCE version and I have what I need in the base installation, but still the system is very fast and light on a quite old notebook.
The package system allows, if you want, to look into AUR repository as well.

This is the best Linux distro I have used, and I have been using Linux since 2008 on everyday basis on my private laptops and in the lab (I am a scientist/physicist). I haven't experienced a single issue for two years, although more than 2 years ago some smaller problems appeared from time to time. This means that Manjaro dev. team has been doing an excellent job. Every program that I need I can find much more likely on Manjaro repos (incl. AUR) than on any other distro. And they are easy to install with pacman being one of the fastest package manager I've used. One of my laptops is 9 years old but Manjaro works without any interruptions on it.
I think some bad opinions given below about Manjaro are of two reasons: either ignorance of the users to read manuals or some users try to pull down the rapidly growing popularity of Manjaro and to promote their favorite distro.
For example, there are no dependency problems when one uses the package manager properly. It may happen that a package or two of more than 1000 of packages installed on my systems have a dependency issue, which usually can be ignored and packages upgrade successfully and function flawlessly. One user mentioned that drivers break and then he/she suggests Ubuntu as a much better alternative. Being a rolling release Manjaro packs the latest drivers (both open source and proprietary) with a great and easy to use tool to (re)install a new driver if desired. Drivers are constantly developed to support new hardware but also to clean existing bugs. Ubuntu uses older kernels and driver as it is not a rolling release. Another user claims that Manjaro is so bad simply because it is based on Arch. Manjaro is indeed based on Arch but also it holds the upstream updates for additional testing. So it is nonsense to claim that it is more unstable as the user claims.
I have been following distrowatch for a while and noticed that bad reviews appear in waves. I wonder if it is a coincidence.

I tried to install it on my Lenovo Yoga 920. Install went fine but ended in a system without wi-fi connection. Tried to fix it but I was unable to find a solution to manage the Atheros card. Overall it seems a good distro, with a good selection of preinstalled software and a good installer but it's not my cup of tea. The Gnome version has a dark theme and a set of wallpaper too ugly and nerdy.
I gave up and returned to Antergos which, btw, recognized my wifi card flawlessy.

Only ever had two issues with it. I had to reinstall the XFCE version after I missed a package in the latest update. Other than that the most resource heavy version (KDE Plasma) only uses about as much RAM as LMDE Cinammon. XFCE Manjaro is the best on my Thinkpad t420.
How am I supposed to keep distro-hopping when this kraut-space-magic won't stop working?

Installation has its flaws. I had to use the 'architect' version due to the manjaro-xfce not installing correctly. Even then, the architect version installed only to hang on boot up. I don't want to waste too much time with the install so I moved on to another distro. Have used other versions of manjaro and probably will come back to it some time time in the future.

Using Manjaro linux distro for the 1st time. It's lean, robust, and it has huge repo. Better than ubuntu, mint, opensuse, and Fedora in terms of stability and hardware compatibility IMO, running virtually hassle-free on 7 years old hardware intel sandybridge.
why I only rated 9/10 is because building some apps (ex:qgis) from AUR is pretty slow (it takes about 4-5 hours to complete).
otherwise, it's the best linux distro i've ever used.

Have tried on a number of occasions to fully install/implement Manjaro (Cinnamon) and have finally thrown in the towel and gone back to LM Cinn. I really tried to make it work on a high end workstation (Quad core 3.3 GHz, three TB of storage, 32 GB RAM and a very high speed connection) but to no avail. Just setting up the repositories was a hassle (constantly ran slow no matter how many different "magic" commands I ran to get the closest/fastest one to work right). On the plus side, it has a seemingly endless variety of software in both the the regular repositories and the AUR. It is does seem pretty solid from a crashing standpoint but I didn't have much of a chance to fully experiment with it. I really hope the Manjaro team is able to bring it up to snuff as I would like to have/use a rolling release instead of point upgrades.

Linux distros come in all sorts of flavors, and Manjaro has positioned itself in the perfect spot. It is more up-to-date then "stable" (point-release) distros like Mint and provides a similar stability like Mint. It has a great selection of software in the repositories and access to AUR with everything the community could wish for.
It comes in 3 fully supported flavors and several community maintained editions, what is a great offering for beginners and experienced users. The included software selection is all you could need, but coming from Arch feels a bit bloated. But that's personal and in no means a negative comment, because that's where Architect is for. Manjaro stability, the (semi) Arch way.

Sleek, fast and good looking, especially the xfce desktop (my DE of Choice). It installs without a problem. The choice of wallpapers howerver is very limited. On the good side, my scanner Canon Lide 120 worked out of the box (the newest software, you know), without the need of adding outside software. On the other side, for libreoffice I had to install language packages for my native language by myself.
They're not so user-friendly as they claim to be. I won't recommend this distro to a complete beginner. On the other hand, I have to say they have a good manual, good basic documentation and a friendly user forum.
Manjaro's repo's are fast and reliable, however limited in their offering.
Of course you can (and you have) to enable the famous AUR, but there lays my mayor gripe. Most things are there, indeed. But installing from the AUR is always a kind of a lottery, way to many broken packages.
I gave it a 6 instead of a 5 because of the really beautifull xfce-implementation.

This distro is basically arch but more stable, intuitive and a lot of stuff just works out of the box. Just exactly what I needed because using arch for half a year gave me critical issues with a few applications sometimes. Its installation process is the best one I have ever seen. The UI looks great, there's even an i3 community edition you can easily install if you're into it. You can still use the AUR and AUR helpers to easily compile programs.

Manjaro Linux
PROS:
It's awesome, fast, friendly, powerful ... did I say FAST?!?
CONS:
You might need to visit the Manjaro Forums once a year if you face some "desktop icon text shadow" issue or might need to enter some command into a terminal session.
OVERALL:
If you're a THINKER, then use Manjaro. If you're a TINKER (someone who likes to fiddle with everything and break it) then don't.
If you like the following lines, then Manjaro is for you:
$ sudo pacman-mirrors -f 0 -c United_States
$ sudo pacman -Syu
and
$ sudo pacman -S yaourt
$ yaourt -Ss package-to-search-for
$ yaourt -S package-name
FULL REVIEW:
Manjaro is much more than "just Arch". Roots in Arch but their own repositories give you that extra layer of stability.
I prefer Manjaro XFCE, but if you want to experience fast KDE PLASMA 5 or DEEPIN (or BUDGIE, CINNAMON, GNOME, I3, MATE), try Manjaro.
Only one issue in the last year, the desktop icon text didn't match the icon shadow text. I searched the web for "how fix icon text manjaro linux" and the first link said to switch to another theme and back. Fixed.
The user interface is great, I consider the XFCE and KDE UI implementations to be the best of any distro. Also, hardware just works. It found all my video, network card and bluetooth drivers. I could also choose to use proprietary drivers or free open-source drivers.
Their forum is friendly, their wiki page is so organized, you'll be amazed it's free.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Yes, I use XFCE and would like to move to GNOME, but if you like KDE PLASMA, use Manjaro KDE. It has both the latest KDE PLASMA as well as the latest NON-KDE apps and it's stable.

Excellent distro - and I predict that it will overtake Linux Mint. Everything just works. There's a massive amount of packages available. Downloading anything is super easy and intuitive. I love the package manager. For years I had struggled to make modern Bluetooth devices work on Linux Mint and on Ubuntu. All my Bluetooth devices work effortlessly with Manjaro.
Highly recommended. No issues at all. And the few minor glitches I did experience, were easily solved either by myself or by asking the Manjaro forums - which are super helpful and polite.

I have finally found a distro that installs will all drivers needed. Thank you to the Manjaro team. The rolling release model is exactly what I was looking for. The installation was easy to use and very efficient. No problems with the install on a VM or hardware. I have always been a fan of Debian based distributions, but Manjaro is going to be my new daily driver. The only thing is going to have to get use to a new app/package installer... From apt-get to the new Pac-Man package management. I give it a 10 out of 10!!!

We run Manjaro on a motley assortment of laptop and desktop machines, bought begged borrowed and built from what other people call junk. favorite desktop is XFCE even on what we are calling high end, 4 core i5 with SSD and 4 GB Ram is the most powerful. Boots and runs fast enough not to get in the way on the less powerful machines.
Previous main distro was Mint, we left when after 17.3 a lot of problems occurred.
Our experience is now roundabout 70 machine years, that is usage months times number of active users divided by 12.
Manjaro has been through periods of great stability and some of being a headache. We have all needed to reinstall after updates wrecked the system so badly that we gave up on trying to recover. Lost wifi, lost printing several times, screen corruption on wake up, screen tearing. Boot looping. Black screen after update hit a lot of us.
Anyone saying they never have trouble is about as believable as many Amazon reviewers.
I like the rolling release model. Software availability is great due to ARCH Base and if necessary AUR.
Forum is in general helpful but delights in pointing to ARCH. Why should arch devs really want to help with user problems in a distro that takes there hard work and gets all the rave reviews after holding back ARCH updates a couple of weeks. Yes I too appreciate the easier install and some Manjaro tools but ARCHERS do most of the background work.
German engineering makes it great, NO. Manjaro is ARCH based and a community project.
Maybe somebody will add more countries but, development in Germany France Italy Belgium England Australia Brazil and Austria immediately come to mind.
Recommended, yes but be prepared to learn some things, cope with problems as and when they come along and do not expect absolute stability from a rolling release distro.

I have been using Manjaro exclusively for 5 years without a break. I came from XP & after two weeks trying out Mint, decided on Manjaro. I loved the rolling release model & friendly community.
My Manjaro machine is my only machine & I depend on it to run my business, as well as for general internet multi-media use. I find it rock solid & very user friendly.
I could afford to buy a Mac but choose to stick with Linux & don't see myself moving away from Manjaro any time soon. I would describe the main advantages as follows:
1. Rolling release - one-time install with minimal maintenance issues.
2. Incredible community - Lots of Linux distributions have great forums & that includes Manjaro.
3. Quick solutions to issues - If you can't find your answer by searching, someone will help you pronto!
4. Wide selection of software & desktop environments.
5. German engineering! :-)
Give it a go.

AUR is awesome, and since this is an Arch based distro its here with all force.
It is a small download and super featured.

Hardware support its also very good. I recommend it even to new users, its just better than Ubuntu in every single way.

Best distro if you like KDE Plasma. Unlike Kubuntu it has up to date KDE Plasma. Unlike KDE Neon it has up to date non-KDE software. Unlike Arch it's stable
Pros:
-Stable
-Multiple kernels to choose from
-Most software of any distro. AUR is absolutely massive
-Massive amount of desktop environments to choose from (but why choose anything besides plasma?)
Cons:
-Too many packages at install. Easily removable but still WAY too much

I'am using two distros only, Fedora and Manjaro, primary for c64 development (demo coding).
Great is, that both distros have out of the box support for vice and sublime packages.
Also I'am using Fedora for very long time period, but what I seen on manjaro (cinnamon)
I'am sure that I would switched soon from fedora to manjaro...
I can write long list but what I can confirm is ... great pacman manager, lot of software, devices working as expected, great community site, very responsive :)

The XFCE Edition is working really well on my ThinkPad E470, I've only observed some small configuration 'issues' (e.g. doubleclick on title bar does not maximize/resize window, battery runtime), but for all those 'issues' I've found the solution after performing search on the internet and/or ArchWiki/Manjaro forum within short timeframe.
And due to Arch User Repository (AUR) every software I need (Chrome, Softmaker Office and mediathekview) is available and working well.

I use the Budgie community version.
Manjaro is an excellent interpretation of Arch. The authors take Arch package releases, test them and release them in batches, which is intended to head off breakages during the continuous rolling release. This is not gratuitous; by sheer bad luck, on the day I installed Antergos (which doesn't have that testing and batching) there was a bad breakage on its first update, which was fairly easily fixed but would have had a beginner completely lost. Manjaro was unaffected as it only released the updated version of the broken package. I think that, on balance, a delay in obtaining the latest packages is worth having.
Apart from that Manjaro brings a simple install with calamares, a very wide range of kernels to choose from (including experimental, long-term-support and real-time) and excellent Vertex themes going right down to boot and lock screens. The general colouration is black, green and orange, which is a bold change from the usual "safe" washed-out greys and blues.
As Arch is a strongly-supported distribution an often unremarked side-effect is that there are a lot of Manjaro package mirrors, so updates are fast.
The interpretation of Budgie is first-rate. As well as the appropriate theming, and the GNOME application set, there are some well-chosen picks from other distributions: the Timeshift system backup from Linux Mint is particularly welcome.
I take a point off because there are a few small glitches; for example, both Thunderbird and Evolution are installed by default, there are two Bluetooth icons in the system tray (one for GNOME Bluetooth, the other for blueman), and PDF files open with OpenOffice rather than GNOME Document Viewer, which results in a long wait and a sub-standard view when opening the user manual. However, these are excusable as Budgie is an unofficial flavour of Manjaro, and they are fixable anyway.

It's shaping up to be a interesting distro that could become my daily driver. I had some Wi-Fi network problems at first, but it was mainly KDE thing.
Pros:
- Rolliing stable snapshot releases.
- Great OOTB hardware recognition.
- KDE looks beautiful in Manjaro, no tweaking needed.
- Change kernels with Manjaro Settings Manager.
- Lots of software available with AUR support, just install yaourt using:
pacman -Sy yaourt
Cons:
- It's a rolling release, so you have to pay attention regarding upgrades.
- Team is rather small considering what this distro tries to achieve. Hopefully this changes as more users flock to Manjaro.
So far, Manjaro is my perfect Windows 10 replacement.

Why I give low rating now ?
First, last update make my manjaro installation broken again, and again. GPU Driver not work with the latest kernel and you should tinkering yourself to make it work again, from TERMINAL.
Second,
After GPU fixed with open source driver, with more glitch and low FPS now. My hardware for wireless not detected again, So to fix it, i use lan cable.
Third,
This distro same as arc, always get broken in some time window. And wasting your time to fix it again

I am very cautious with choice of distro since Linux is my main working place (I am a physicist who uses various scientific software primarily on Linux). I had tested Manjaro in Virtualbox for 6 months before I have installed it on the bare metal on my two laptops. Initially on one of the laptops I made a dual boot with Mint, which I had used for many years. After I obtained very high confidence in Manjaro since it did not make any problem for a few years as the main OS on the two laptops (and in the virtual machine before), I removed Mint. I have been using exclusively Manjaro for almost 3 years without major issues.
Pros:
1. it is fast without bloatware,
2. has the huge software repos (including the official one and AUR),
3. has the great in-house made programs for changing kernel and GPU drivers (mhwd), something which should all other distros have,
4. Manjaro community is helpful, although I haven't needed much assistance as I haven't had much problems with the distro.
cons:
Very rarely a program stops working after upgrade, which usually gets resolved easily. For example Grace stopped working after the last update of the system, and a simple reinstallation of the program solved the problem.

I used Xubunto for tha last ten years and is a good distro but Manjaro KDE has the rolling releas model that is better, with minor problems. It also has low RAM consumption and it is very stable. I use at work as a workstation and I could install shared printers, use shared resources with low RAM consumption. Very powerfull distro!

Manjaro Linux is currently the best and stable Linux OS available for a common man. It has a great advantage over Linux Mint, ie., Manjaro gets updated packages more often than Mint. It is lightweight as well as Powerful as Arch Linux.
The only reason I'm not using Linux is because of the lack of my favourite Games :( and relatively less FPS in games than in Windows.

Amazing distro overall, very stable, easy to use, a great variety of desktop environments to choose from, the community is rather nice, has some useful tools like mhwd, and switching kernels is super easy.
The only drawback so far is the fact that it doesn't ship with kernel source headers so I couldn't install the proprietary nvidia driver manually from the .run file, but that's not a big deal. You can install the headers manually anyway.

Installation fast and friendly, all my hardware working including the special keys on my EEPC. Boots lightning fast from SSD too. Generaly all you need is included in the xfce version but I use Libreoffice 6 and Gimp edge, among other changes. Firefox removed in favour of palemoon. Thunderbird replaced with the most efficient mail client of all time Claws. I have no trust in Mozilla any More.
In an earlier post I read:
Octopus + AUR is really useful when you want to install apps that usually aren't available through these app systems. Like for example Universal Media Server, or Oracle JAVA.
The reviewer must mean OCTOPI which is a frontend to YAOURT, a tool which makes installing software from the Arch User repository easy for noobs. That comes at a risk as AUR is unsupported by manjaro Team although you may get help in the forum if needed.
JAVA is included in a standard installation, I think the poster must mean he wants the programming environment from Oracle, that is indeed in AUR.
My favorite distro, you can use it, change it, improve it, WRECK IT. Reinstall it. I did both several times.
As super user you are King of your Computer, no restrictions. Do rm -r / or rm -r /home and you have purged your data. / denotes your basic system, do make a separate /home on installation, it will be very useful later.
At times neccesity to read and ask questions in Foren. Learn some things and enjoy linux at its best.

9 because nothing is perfect. Last year dad helped me to put a computer together from things we found in a rubbish container. We tried several kinds of Linux and different desktops. Installation was easy once I understood how to set the Harddisk. Really like cans in the pantry, different things in each.
Manjaro KDE looked nice but was too slow, thats the old computer. After trying Deepin and mate we settled on XFCE which is nice and fast now.
My background is a friendly wolf head but sometimes I want to bite.
Why do some people write so much misleading rubbish here, installing the app yaourt took about 30 seconds.
We wanted something called Mediathek to watch some German stuff, I do German at school. Anyway that went easy and helps me learn.. Dad fixed something to make mediathek work outside Germany.
I read here and in forums because I like to understand how things work and see how people can help each other even from far away, thats great.
Have to install something to adjust date and time, Is that one using manjaro or confused.
slow updates. Maybe if internet is slow or the update is big it feels like that. I looked in google about login boot loop. Found a lot about that on Ubuntu and windows 10 nobody in my class had that anyway.
I like manjaro, its easy to learn and use.

First install everything seems to go smoothly until I reboot and get smacked in the face with a login loop. Fail.
Install on another computer, and everything work fine. Updates are really slow. Dropbox not provided in official repos. Have to install yaourt to install Dropbox. Have to install an extra GUI just to adjust date and time without having to search google to learn command line args.
Just not my cup of tea in terms of friendliness, ease of use and just getting to work out of the box.

Manjaro, fast install, fast running, low ram usage. Good forum support, mostly. You may get told to search arch Forum. WTF Im using Manjao, I am not a Linux 10 star guru, if I was I could use Arch or Gentoo directly.
As other users I have experienced some problems following updates. Had to reinstall twice because unable to fix. easy leaft my home untouched so lost nothing.
For real slow on 4 Gigs laptop whatever that is, nothing sluggish about manjaro even on anchient hardware scavenged from the dump.
Sparky XFCE faster.. NO. Manjaro XFCE Faster. Not really. Both are fast and light.
We ran both in dual boot in the classroom while going throug the theme of Forum Trolls and Fake Facts.
Some of the kids still have both. I reccomended that in case one or the other breaks down or mostly reality gets broken while learning.
we tried "compiling dropbox and megasynch" had a problem which was fixed very fast in AUR, after that easy
We just installed YAOURT then followed an instruction in the net to do sudo yaourt -S dropbox megasync. Tapped y for yes and no to editing as neccesary. Wasnt Fast but not slow either.
Would I reccomend manjaro, YES. But you will need to learn some new things once in a while.

Manjaro XFCE was real SLOW on my 4 Gigs RAM laptop. Building packages like Dropbox and Megasync took forever. Except for the slow speed, installing/removing software was easy enough with none of Synaptic's bugs, but the system overall was so sluggish that I was forced to try out other faster systems like SparkyLinux and Gecko Linux.

Excellent distribution. Just switched to it from Windows 10 and Ubuntu.
- Easy to install
- Pacman is a very nice and easy to use package manager. In my experience, it is much better than apptitude.
- Software repositories have almost everything that you need.
- I like its rolling updates. With Ubuntu/Debian, you have to do a full system upgrade to have new features of OS but not in Manjaro.

As long as you are prepared to use the AUR and wait for the best bits to download and compile then you will end up with a good operating system. Straight out of the box it is a bit ho-hum. You have to be prepared to dig a bit deeper with Manjaro. Digging deeper pays off. It is one of the only distros I have used that detected all my hardware correctly (Linux mint was good but missed some) and also I was able to get some of what for me are essential apps downloaded from AUR and have them compiled and installed. That installation took forever, even though I wrote the Godzilla of a bash app installer that looked to see if an app was in the standard libraries, install it, and only if it was unavailable (or old) was it downloaded from AUR. The script worked well and speeded things up but it still took hours and hours .. buy a book and read it while you wait ... really. That said. When done it worked well. Big disappointment for me is that I could not get a successful Text To Speech (TTS) installation. I was left with the world's crappiest voices but, that is what you usually get on Linux - you have to go to Mac or Windows, or use Chrome Browser online with plugins to get a usable TTS. The latter was my choice and even though it involved cut and pasting, it worked. So, overall, all requirements met (in some fashion) and it worked.
ps. Tried the Cinnamon community download and it would not even boot. Do not know what they've done with it but it is mangled beyond belief. The Xfce version is nice. Works. Good. Well done.

Note that I don't use it as a daily driver, I have my gaming Windows PC for that.
I use it for casual net browsing and mainly as a learn linux machine.
It's semi noob friendly (like for me), been using it for past 2 months after I switched from Mint, because of ending KDE support.

Manjaro is easy to install, fast booting (mostly) fast running (mostly) as a semi rolling distribution very much up to date and offers several main versions.
So why the rating.
The stable version of this distribution is like a minefield, some people get through updates without trouble, the majority blown up non booting or otherwise crippled computer..
During last Months updates to the STABLE VERSION caused broken system Boot, twice so badly a reinstall was only way out..
Graphics broken several times, USB stick support, Phone connection support, Printing, Wifi and Lan more than once.
All these things on older computers which worked perfectly before--and after fault rectification or re installation.
Until another of the frequent updates came along and broke the system again that is.
Manjaro has a semi rolling model, tests for weeks. We installed the Stable XFCE version. Why does it break so often.
Some classmates use this too, we are not happy and planning to move in next school break.

I'm a long time Windows user - now exclusively using Manjaro for 1 year on my desktop-PC and Laptop.
It works perfectly out of the box. Quick and easy install. The GUI feels and behaves a bit old school like Win95. Updates tend to break something regular. Drag and Drop rarely works compared to Win10. Customizing the desktop and Taskbar is much better than in Windows. When it comes to functionality, networking etc. it surely beats windows. Speedwise everything feels faster than on Windows apart from some Wine stuff.
So I am not totally convinced, but for the freedom and respect of privacy it is a perfect choice. I tried a lot of distros, but Arch based Manjaro convinced me the most over time. So far I stay on the Manjaro track and send a friendly bye bye to Windows.

I've used quite a few distro's in my time and Manjaro has, decidedly, given me the fewest problems. The non-rolling releases seem to "degrade" just a little with each major update. Soon enough, and you have to completely rebuild from scratch.
I've been running from my first install of Manjaro for years now. That was 0.something . There was one problem when the mirrors weren't fully updated yet, and that borked the boot. Arch really should prevent that in pacman somehow. I just wait a day before I commit an update now, and no further issues with that. They are, usually, far more "current" than many other distros, so waiting the extra day is nothing. At this point, when an update notification pops up, I pull the trigger without hesitation. I don't even bother with pre-update backups anymore.
The Manjaro maintainers are really responsive. A dependency problem with Nvidia drivers related to the RT kernel was fixed, and pushed to stable, within hours of posting on their forum.
Arch wiki's are some of the best, and they all work with Manjaro. Making the "How do I..." thing as easy as can be.
In all, you're not likely to do much better out there.

Same problems as I've had on Arch but even more unstable. Drivers break, dependency issues all the time and constant rollbacks due to kernels breaking the system.
If you're a practical user who wants to get things done just use Ubuntu.

My partner and I got a pair of new laptops and decided to try Manjaro.
My previous laptop was running Gentoo with Xfce. Manjaro looked appealing because I didn't want to take days installing the machine, but I still wanted access to a good package managing system with the end goal of installing Xfce.
The install on my partner's laptop was gorgeous, fast, and easy
My install took over a day, with many reinstalls, boot freezes, hacks, kernel panics, etc. I recognized the video card when I ordered it was by NVIDIA and should have know to stay away. Still, owing to the extreme difficulty getting the NVIDIA drivers working, I have to give Manjaro a low rating. If I had been a novice user, there is no possibility I could have installed the OS and would have given up. To make matters worse, debugging it was possible by various posts from October 2017 or earlier, meaning these issues have been problematic for quite some time.
My video card is NVIDIA GP108M GeForce MX150.
It looks like an update released last night fixed some of the issues (after freeze / kernel panic / fresh reinstall / update sequence), but the Live medium cannot boot without immediately passing strange kernel flags, which was not true with SystemRescueCD that we also prepared at the same time.
Without this GitHub post, I'd have probably gone to another OS: https://gist.github.com/mauri870/5a54e415140875b9150ca31c491811f6
The crashes were always with MHWD which is Manjaro's code, not upstream problems.
Besides a struggle to get graphics working without boot failures and regular freezes, most of my experience is ok. I'm surprised something as popular as Skype has to be installed by AUR, or the unfriendly community attitude towards sudo (too many warnings on wiki articles, a forum post asking how to enable passwordless sudo where a person responds multiple times saying not to do it and never giving technical advice)
