All of my life i had only Microsoft, from 95 edition to Win10, for me the best where WindowsXP. At the moment Microsoft have a lot of fails with update system andnow i try to linux. Big WOW! Every linux from Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Tail and Fedora everything is better than Windows 10. I see everything what happen on my machine, no more fake or something else. When you crash something then you can format and install in 30 minutes. My system rank: No1 Windows XP, no2 Manjaro ...... nr 99 Windows10 xD

After some weeks spent, here are the pros:
+ No random crashes like Ubuntu.
+ Latest software (I can easily get the latest Audacity and Wine)
+ Lots of software selections
However,
- DE isn't polished as Ubuntu did.
- Issues with my printer (normal for distros, though).
- Errors regarding exo-open, including clicking the folder icon in the Downloads section on Firefox opens Audacious. This results in wasting times opening Thunar and going to Downloads folder.
- Lag when playing games that using DirectX on default Wine. Yes, Gallium Nine-patched Wine can be used but I don't want the DX 11 support isn't available. (I'm using Intel HD 3000)
With that cons, I will switch to Ubuntu MATE and I'll switch back if Manjaro gets better.

I've used Manjaro for 2.5 years. Excellent distro.
I dual boot Windows 10 and Manjaro on two computers:
1) Dell Optiplex 7010 with Nvidia GTX 970 graphics
2) Gigabyte X399 + 1950X CPU + AMD Vega 64 graphics
Driver notes:
Nvidia: use non-free drivers
Anything else: use free drivers
If one doesn't work, try the other
Vega notes:
If you are using AMD Vega, that requires kernel version 4.15 or newer. The current Manjaro release (17.1.10) uses 4.14. You can use the Manjaro 18 beta, which comes with kernel 4.16 (https://manjaro.org/manjaro-preview-releases/ ). You can change the update branch from Testing to Stable by modifying /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf
1950X CPU notes:
The 1950X performs best with the latest available kernel (using 4.17), and Memory Interleave set to Channel in the BIOS.
Dual boot notes:
If you boot UEFI, when Windows installs a feature upgrade, the option to boot manjaro will likely disappear. You have to run msconfig in Windows and modify the boot order to bring it back. Booting legacy does not have this issue.
If you are using Windows 8 or newer, you need to disable the "fast boot" option if you have shared storage between Manjaro and Windows. If it is enabled, the partition will probably be locked. Also, Windows will seemingly randomly re-enable that setting, even if it doesn't look like it's enabled. If the shared partition is locked, boot into Windows and enable then disable that setting, then restart.
Windows by default sets the BIOS clock to local time, wheras Manjaro sets it to UTC. Do ONE of the following to get the clocks in sync:
(windows command prompt): reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation /v RealTimeIsUniversal /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f
OR (manjaro terminal): timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

Not what I would consider to be "what Linux is about" but Manjaro works.
My idea of Linux is lean / light / modularity, Manjaro is very heavy / bloated. Even AwesomeWM uses a laughable 300-odd mb of RAM, XFCE uses abot 400/500mb. However I do understand what Manjaro are trying to do, and thats provide a solid and complete experience for Linux noobs and advanced users.
I would recommend Manjaro to noobs over Ubuntu or Mint, but if you want something light then maybe look elsewhere.

Most User-Friendly Distro I have ever used. Updates are quick and easy to apply. I'm currently using the Manjaro Version 18 Beta which is going to be a historical moment for the Manjaro team because the whole interface is being rewritten in GTK3 and A completely rewritten built in compositor that will never screen tear(OMG). So it looks like more future proofed Wayland Support. This Distro Lets the face of Linux really shine. The gaming Performance i can't even describe, just flawless, literally. I love the Manjaro Team and all the Contributors so much for making such a great Linux Distrobution, I can't even switch back to Windows, I'm hooked :) If it doesn't work right, your doing it wrong....If you need help go to the Forums on the issue. Certain brands treat Linux very badly.

2.5 years rolling, and my only major complaint is lack of main stream sales for hardware. I'd love to be able to just send people links to buy systems ready to go with Manjaro rather than having to go through the whole. "Let me build a system for you, so you don't have to waste money paying for and partly supporting an OS you don't want."

Tried many and settled on this.
Ditched windows for it. Windows 10 is spyware. It is a toy.
The manjaro settings manager will let you install/change kernels & drivers with a few clicks. Absolutely amazing.
Manjaro holding back updates for a bit longer for proper testing also works well. I didn't get the same problems the antergos users had. Rock solid stable for me.
The thing I love most though is pamac. It is the best I ever used. It is fast and it works well. No problems whatsover for me. I had to use the terminal all the time on ubuntu because the software center was absolute garbage.

Awesome distro (review for KDE version): Fast (start up and applications), reliable, easy to use and reasonable update cycles. I was a like bit sick of the need of reinstalling a distribution every have a year like ubuntu, Fedara worked better for me, but after three distros the system became buggy. As a rolling distribution with fewer updates I get rid of all this issues.
On the con side - but no big deal - is the ugly appearance of the system as pre-installed. But this can be changed easily.

Have been running the same install of Manjaro for close on 2 years now with no major stability issues. Manjaro has incredible stability for a rolling distro, far better than my experience with Ubuntu based releases. I strongly recommend the i3 community release for a highly lightweight and productive experience.

Some months ago a class of 15 to 16 year old Kids installed this distro themselves on a variety of own hardware from old to new. (23 individuals).
Getting to grips with EFI led to discussion but thanks to you tube was solved without adult intervention. There were no installation failures, all hardware was recognized and is supported.
Setting up the desktop to personal taste was a very dynamic and creative session, none of the class kept the standard theme.
Interestingly there have been no lasting complaints, no demands for a return to another OS. No virus or trojan infections reported, they were an everyday problem before the change. All maintenance has been performed by users. Explaining Pacman and Yaourt lead to a micro English lesson, interesting is after messing with the graphical tool the console seems more popular with most.
Troubles,
Black screen after updates hit twice but were fixed without data loss. Separate home proved its worth.
Down time in all cases less than one hour, backups were not used.
Stability and performance of the XFCE version is excellent.
Installing and maintaining their own computers gives kids a very worthwhile experience and increased confidence. Teaches them to solve problems together using forums, how to sheets and some instructional you tube videos.
Try Manjaro you might love it. We do. As the day to day admin I would be out of work if the whole school was brave enough to follow, it has been a very relaxing and positive educational experience.

Manjaro à été ma première distribution Linux et l'une de mes préférées pendants un bon moment.
Un excellent choix pour les amateurs de XFCE et des distros en rolling-release.
Je ne lui accorderai pas les éloges d'un 9 ou d'un 10 sur 10, car à mon avis, il reste encore pas mal de travail de peaufinement et de correction de bugs dont certains sont présents depuis un bon moment maintenant.
Reste que vu comment le projet avance depuis sa naissance, j'ai confiance en son avenir.

Manjaro is an excellent distro but you have to take into account some considerations before installing it:
It is not the same to install the Operating System in a Virtual Machine than in a Real Machine. Be careful with the Tutorials, try to see them in Real Machines. No Operating System has problems in the Virtual Machines except the decrease of its speed caused by the emulation. In a Real Machine that starts with BIOS in traditional Legacy mode with the Hard Disk in MBR mode nobody will have problems, but the thing changes when dealing with the UEFI and GPT modes, and even the way in which a USB Flash Memory must be prepared to install the desired Operating System changes.
The following instructions are for Real Machines:
1) With the BIOS in traditional Legacy mode (Options: Secure Boot OFF and Allow to install other Operating Systems ON. -Find Youtube Videos of How to configure your BIOS in traditional Legacy mode according to the model of your Hardware).
-Download the ISO of the Distro you want and record it in a USB Flash Memory using the program YUMI v2.0.5.6, formatting the USB Flash Memory in FAT 32 mode.
-Reinitiate your System from USB Flash Memory, and use the traditional MBR System for Hard Drives.
2) With the BIOS in UEFI mode (Options: Secure Boot DISABLED and Allow to install other Operating Systems ON).
-Discharge the ISO of the Distro that you want and record it in a USB Flash Memory using the Rufus program v2.18, formatting the USB Flash Memory in FAT 32 mode and choosing the option GPT partition scheme for UEFI that is inside the box Partition scheme and tarjet system type.
-Reinitiate your System from the USB Flash Memory, and use the GPT System for Hard Drives. An additional EFi Boot partition is required in UEFI mode.
See Tutorials for this, each Hardware is different.

Installation of Manjaro Gnome 17.1.10 was troublesome because Grub did not overwrite my Ubuntu Grub from the overwritten Mint Xfce distro so I could not boot Manjaro although the install gave no errors. In the end I installed 17.0.2 first which did the Grub job well and next I installed 17.1.10 again and now it works. Lucky for me Manjaro installs pretty fast (within half an hour) and I have a separate data partition.
Had to get used to my first Gnome experience after Xfce but I like it and Manjaro runs quite stable. I was a huge Mint fan in the days of version 13 and 17 but with 18 bugs appeared more frequently resulting in Wifi dropouts and crashing Chromium and Firefox browsers hangin up the whole OS. Manjaro looks more stable than Mint 18.
Pro's: Stable and pretty fast, great looks (themes and colours).
Con's: Not for absolute beginners, they should probably stick to Mint.

I was using Manjaro Budgie, then they removed the possibility to use the desktop, then I moved up to Gnome, same has happened. I'm actually on MATE. It doesn't look so good, but it's the only GTK distro that isn't a WM that I'm able to use normally. I tried KDE but unfortunately it doesn't have my favorite themes available due to it being qt-based, same for Deepin. There's no much DEs to be chosen. Maybe Cinnamon?! BTW, I've loved Manjaro and I'm using it for 4 years, just changing the DE because of the problem related above. And it's really nice see Manjaro on 1st place on distrowatch's ranking! Well done Manjaro!

TL/DR: Excellent distribution. Highly recommended for beginners and advanced users alike. Personally I use the Xfce variant.
Pros:
+Easy to install and use, everything (that I've tested) works "out of the box"
+More stable than most distributions
+Active and friendly community ready to help
+Nearly everything you could need is in official repositories
+Access to massive user-maintained repository (Arch User Repositories: AUR)
+Rolling: always have latest release if you keep it updated
+Latest drivers automatically detected and kept up-to-date with rest of system
+Very useful GUI tools for managing kernels, drivers, packages, updates, and more
+Common applications like Steam, VLC, LibreOffice, and more installed by default
+Integration of M$ Office web apps (provided by custom ms-office-online package)
Cons:
-Occasionally updates can require manual steps. These are usually small and simple, and they are stated in the announcements forum. Follow these and you shouldn't run into any issues.
-No option to automatically update (you can cron the necessary commands, but do so at your own risk)
I make the following package changes when I install Manjaro Xfce:
Remove:
-engrampa
-audacious
Install:
+file-roller (provides right-click archive extraction, replaces engrampa)
+compiz-manjaro (stable compositor with lots of fun gimmicks and fixes screen tearing)
+xscreensaver (screensaver daemon and screensavers)
+rhythmbox (media library; replaces audacious)
+open-fuse-iso (easily mount and unmount ISO files with double-click)
+steam-native (make Steam use latest libraries)
+bluez-plugins (bluetooth support for sixaxis controllers)
+joystickwake-git (AUR) (prevent screensaver while playing games)

A Lenovo Yoga 710-11Isk received an automatic request for "critical BIOS update" this week for this model code. After the system was updated it would not boot. The recovery drive was also damaged. Lenovo wanted $69 for Windows 10 USB to restore the system and suggested that next time they sent an update I should call them first! Really - why? The laptop runs perfectly after loading Manjaro Gnome. I also have Manjaro Gnome on a 7 year old 15.6" Asus Pentium laptop that also runs great! Finally, the desktop has two SSDs, one with Windows 10 and one with Manjaro Gnome.
I'm using Manjaro almost exclusively and am at peace being released from the drama of Microsoft's buggy cumulative updates, and from any event that can render the systems unusable. I can relaod Manjaro at any time with out issue.
I've tried many distros. Manjaro is the best I've tried. Manjaro is solid, current, and gives me peace of mind - no drama. It also handles all my computer needs (much more than I'll ever use).

I've used Mint, Ubuntu in the Debian version and I've used Antergos and Manjaro in the Arch.
Of all of them I like Manjaro because it seems to be the best for my old machine. While I have found that the Mint/Ubuntu was easier to set up sharing between Windows, Manjaro still allows the user to use the Grive utility to sync Google Drive (files saved to the hd instead of setting up online only).
I also found that the Gnome interface to work very well and is much faster then Ubuntu. Overall it is a very simple interface and great for a newbie.

Manjaro is example that two opposing things can be successfully merged, rolling release on one hand and good stability on the other hand. I have used Manjaro stable XFCE on 2 my laptops as the main OS for 4 years and haven't had any major issue. It offers the latest software versions from the huge repository including the user-contributed AUR repo. The distro is highly customizable, very fast, its package manager pacman is regarded as one of the best package managers in the Linux world on various websites. Initially I installed it on BTRFS filesystem so I could rollback if something went wrong after updates. This was never necessary, so I gained a high level of confidence in the distro's stability. I highly recommend Manjaro.

Amazing distro. Run a lot better than any debian/ubuntu based at least on any pc that I used. Less packages in the official repo but nearly all of them work as expected and of course versions are not ancients.
Very easy to switch between drivers(proprietary and opensource) and kernels.
Repos include proprietary software like steam and skype.
Good performance and small amount of bugs

I was trying for over a decade to switch to from Windows to Linux. Every time, no matter how hard I was trying the result was the same, back to windows. Until I met Manjaro the year 2016! It works perfect for me since then, on 3 different PCs. Never went back to windows since then. It's fast, super stable, easy to maintain, friendly forums, lots of packages available.
cons: I don't like the greenish theming, but it's easy to change it.

I installed the manjar without problems. In the first major update of 1.1GB when I rebooted I was not able to boot anymore and could not solve the problem. I installed another Distro Linux, but I managed to save the contents of the manjaro home. I really like the manjaro but I've always had these kinds of problems with it on various types of PCs and notebooks. Manjaro I love you but you're not for me.

Pros
- starts amazingly fast
- rolling release with stable regular updates
- clever integration of MS Office online apps
- rock solid - no crashes so far
- customization especially the KDE desktop
- easy to use
Cons
- proprietary drivers i.e. for printers could cause trouble
- the gui looks a little bit ugly
- software repos are not that mighty than the ubuntu or fedora equivalents
All in all a very good distribution for any home and office user. Your system is up-to-date without the painful experience with daily unstable updates (as is in fedora) or even a painful unavailable system system for hours (as is in Windows). I can live with the cons easily. Printer installation is just once, the gui look can be changed with a few klicks and for certain required software help via the community is availabe.

- Works very well in my VM lab
Cons
- Simple tasks unnecessarily complicated - I gave up on trying to get VM workstation to work
- package manager disjointed and doesn't seem to download required dependencies
- Some hardware compatibility issues
I wanted to like Manjaro a lot more than I did, as I love the look and feel and the great performance. It maybe a lack of sufficient experience or I'm too impatient, but found too many tasks that should have taken a few minutes took way too much time to be worth the effort.

It just works out of the box.
I would recommend this distro to anyone that wants the power of Arch without all the hard work.
It found my printer and scanner on startup and loaded the drivers, no other Arch distro has been able to do this.

No one before Manjaro team has invented a tool for managing different kernel installation and managing drivers.
We ha to wait 20 years for this to happen.
They're pioners of Linux world.
I was sceptical about its quality, but I started to use it since about 4 weeks and I don't see serious bugs and security problems. I don't know why there's so much discussion about security here.
Yes, the system IS STABLE.
I don't need internet cable to install it, drivers are available out of hand and never breaks after kernel update/upgrade.
The project is more and more mature.
Keep working on it:)

Love the install and drive partitioning in Manjaro. Easy to understand and great graphic interface. Hardware drivers installed flawlessly. Everything just worked. It took a while to set up my brother network printer but the forums for Majnjaro are vast and help was easy to find. I used Manjaro everyday for three or four weeks and I was very happy with the performance and the great looking distro. Then - I downloaded and installed updates. My printer no longer worked and I really don't have a clue what I did to cause problems but my printer refused to work. I spent some time looking for answers and decided to move back to mint for awhile. I really like Manjaro but i need my printer. I am not a novice but I am not a pro with Linux either. I was not able to fix the print problem. I'll wait for the next release and try again. Maybe I will buy a different printer. Manjaro has a great following and a great distro. Thanks to everyone who helped me online with Manjaro. Wonderful, helpful people!

Not used to working with nVidia out of the box. Have a fairly quick computer with SSD and loads of ram, and Intel 2011 v3 with nVidia 980 card. Surprisingly rare for Linux system to work without tweaking. I prefer Mate - it's simple to use, can be modified and very stable. Used for Months without problems, got bored and switched back to Ubuntu Mate 18.04, but only because there were more programs to use- Find that the more I add, the quicker I cause crashes. Because Ubuntu always (and still does, although not as bad) has problems with nVidia, I will probably switch back to Manjaro in the future. Manjaro is fast, stable and works well with more modern machinery (although I am not rich enough to get a 2066 Intel chip or AMD Ryzen.) I love this program, as easy to use as Ubuntu and more stable. Do not be afraid if you are new. Really doesn't - in my opinion, have a down side. Although I like some games it doesn't have, the reverse is also true. Have tried BSD, OpenSuse, Fedora, Debian and others, while OK they are more trouble than they are worth. It sounds like the guy who gave it a 6 updated everything thinking that the updates are for everyone. Stick with STABLE. People who are hooked on Windows are mostly business people who think they are getting the best because they are paying sooo much and don't read or think enough.

On first install it is a great looking distro, hardware detection is good with driver install etc
It is a very nice system with a good arch base, the problem is in the rolling distro common issues. i.e. you can't just blindly apply updates as you can in say mint. You MUST read the forums and be prepared for some bug fixing after the update (or preparation before). It is not a huge issue if you are comfortable doing that but I have to rate it down as it is NOT a distro I could give to a windows convert for example as it would just give them a negative view of linux as they simply don't want to troubleshoot updates/patches.
Not ever update will need to be checked like this, but you really need to get into the habit to do it every time or eventually you will run into trouble,

After testing several well-known Linux Distros, Ubuntu, Debian and Mint, I found with Manjaro, of which the XFCE Distro was the one that worked best in My Hardware, which is an ASUS Eee PC R101. Yes, it is garbage with 1 GB of RAM and a Hard Disk of 160 GB, but it is what I have.
Manjaro XFCE seemed to me a kind of combination between Windows XP and Windows 7, which facilitated the learning of this new system. As for his running, Manjaro XFCE is much faster than Windows Systems, and much more customizable. The programs are easy to install through the use of Pamac.
From Pamac I installed:
*GNOME Alsa Mixer (Graphic Mixer, I placed it to the left of the Clock)
*Audacity (Audio Editing Application)
*GNOME Disks (Graphic Disk Utility Interface)
*Cdemu (ISO Image Emulator and other formats)
*Dosbox (MS-DOS Applications and Games Emulator)
*Clementine (Music Player)
*Octopi (Packet Manager similar to Pamac)
*Wine (Allows you to use Windows and MS-DOS Applications and Games)
*Wine-mono (Wine Complement)
*Wine-gecko (Wine Complement)
After installing Wine I installed Programs and Games of MS-DOS and Windows as:
*7-Zip
*WinRAR
*DOOM (1993)
*The Dig (1995)
*Full Throttle (1995)
*Neighbours From Hell 1 y 2 (2003)
*Serious Sam - F.E. (2001)
*Serious Sam - S.E. (2002)
*Prey (2006) This Game works but the Processor does not have the necessary speed to play it (my hardware is a garbage, as I said before).
Everything worked. Manjaro XFCE is a fabulous Distro.

I am a Windows user since its inception, but the policy of collecting data has become very abusive. Then I decided that Windows 7 was going to be my last Windows and that he was going to install Linux as the second Operating System of start so that in the future it may become my only System Operational, for security and privacy issues. For now my intention is to make Dual Boot.
After seeing several Linux Distros I came across Manjaro XFCE and KDE. Manjaro XFCE is very fast, pleasant and customizable. Manjaro KDE is very eye-catching and customizable, in fact it can be impressively charming and lavish depending on how you customize the operation of the windows and the desk.
Both versions have pre-installed everything you need to work, surf the Internet, watch movies or listen to music, so you do not have to waste time on it, but to play MS-DOS and Windows games that you own and not depend on Steam, it is necessary to install through Pamac: Dosbox, Wine, Wine-mono and Wine-gecko.
I love these Distros, and they are updated almost weekly, which means that all the programs are almost up to date.
The following comment is a separate suggestion to the Manjaro Team:
If you are reading this, could Dosbox, Wine, Wine-mono and Wine-gecko be included in your future Distros? In this way they would be much more friendly and would be the Distros already prepared from the beginning to achieve integration with MS-DOS and Windows programs. Congratulations for your effort, you are doing a great job. Keep going, I think you have a great future.

Manjaro is fast and nice...
BUT
till now I didn't succeed in
a) installing webmin. It's very complicated and NOT user-friendly, i. e. it should be also possible for someone who is no nerd
b) installing X2Go. It's also very complicated and NOT user-friendly.
c) installing wifi with MANJARO's last 32-bit version on an 8 years old Sony Vaio
HOWEVER
in DEBIAN I succeeded to install the above-mentioned items. It took me some time but finally it worked...
MANJARO took me TOO MUCH TIME to have still pleasure in it...

With Manjaro finally topping Distrowatch's daily page hits list, I thought I'd give it a go to see what the fuss was about. Coming from more than a decade using Linux Mint, originally with Gnome 2.x and now with the Mate' desktop as my go-to daily driver, I downloaded the Mate' version of Manjaro and installed it on my i7 test machine.
Without going into too much detail, installing and running Manjaro Mate' was as easy as installing and running Linux Mint Mate'. It's a well thought out and precisely configured Arch based desktop distro that deserves the attention it's getting. In that regard it reminded me of Mint, and in my mind that's a good thing.
Will I abandon Debian/Ubuntu based Mint in favor of Arch based Manjaro for my day to day computing needs? At this point 'no', that's not going to happen. For those who've grown up using Arch, Manjaro may be the best out of the box desktop implementation of that OS out there. But for those of us who prefer a Debian/Ubuntu based desktop OS, in my view Linux Mint remains the flagship of the fleet.

Been using Manjaro for the past 2.5 years. Haven't distro-hopped since. I use it to play ~96 different Steam games.
-Easy to setup and use
-Active community ready to help n00bs and advanced users alike
-Very stable updates
-Latest and greatest software
-Access to massive software repository (AUR)
-Slection of 12 different desktops (Xfce, KDE, Gnome, Awesome, Bspwm, Budgie, Cinnamon, Deepin, i3, LXDE, Mate, Openbox)
-System is always at latest version if you keep it updated (no need to fresh install latest release)
-GUI tools for managing packages, updates, drivers, kernels, and more
-Automatic driver detection and installation (graphics, wifi, etc)

I tried it because it's at the #1 spot in the ranking.
I liked that the software apps are relatively new versions. Also, the software tool for my HP printer is pre-installed.
This is the only distro that won't let me connect to my other PCs in the network. So I decided I should probably install it to see how it goes. But the screen saver kicked in and asked me for the password to unlock it. Really??? That was the most stupid thing I have ever seen on any demo of a Linux distro. I know I could have searched the internet for the password. But I quickly lost my appetite.

i started linux with ubuntu then Mint but couldnt satisfy myself due to static release and older packages and ppa database. finally heard about arch phillosophy and rolling release system. but i also wanted arch based distro but with stablilty and repo which keeps latest updated packages and i finally found manjaro which had very large community support.
now i have been using manjaro since last 3 years and i never turned back since. this is best arch based distro with lots of user friendly features like hardware detection tool, settings and kernel manager. manjaro gives you best kde experience with stabilty and simplicty.

I have used Manjaro for a couple of years now. I was initially skeptical of the rolling release concept but found Manjaro's execution to work very well. I have not reinstalled the OS once. All my hardware was correctly recognized without issue and Octopi and Yaourt, make finding and installing software very easy. My only issue is that Manjaro's ability to connect to cellphones and tablets could be improved.

When compared to other distros it falls short. It seems like a semi-hobbyist project while others are professional class.
Updates tend to break minor or major things in the long run. Irritating to have a system not tested enough while the devs state that they do, isn't it? For a short period of time it works pleasantly well, until this update which causes the system to start messing up itself.
Imagine if the same happened with the hardware you buy, would you buy it again?
Keep in mind that at least on my hardware, the graphics suck with all the kernels that they offer except 4.9, but even under this kernel I encounter issues. On a system which came with Linux preinstalled, so it's not a hw issue with Linux in general. All deb-based distros work great with all the kernels, Manjaro can't handle it and I don't know why.
Absolutely not recommended for production systems, only for a testbench to try new technologies and software.

+ stable
+ rock solid
+ rolling release
+ plenty of configuration options, but you don't need to tinker with anything if you don't want to
+ using XFCE ;) ;) ;) and takes around 430 MB of memory on my laptop
+ pacman
+ yaourt
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.
I have to touch terminal only because I dual boot Debian Stretch 9... but I like to touch it :)
Very nice GNU/Linux distribution.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
