But after I booted it, i was very disappointed. Well, when I first came to linux, I searched for “Simple Linux”. You may disagree with them, but they will cover most important aspects of normal computer use for regular folks (you will have a browser, text editor, GUI, etc) and be ready to use after just a few clicks. Whenever somebody does something I’m like “Is this really necessary or is it something that I don’t need but will install just because I’m following this tutorial? What are the other options available? etc.” Meanwhile, Manjaro (Ubuntu, Windows 10 and other distros) make all of those choices for you. I spent more than 2 hours watching people install Arch and I’m still not confident enough to do it myself. It takes me 5 minutes to install Ubuntu, Windows 10 and Manjaro. But if it breaks and I can’t fix it easily, it will either stay broken or I’ll just go back to Ubuntu. If it breaks and I know how to fix it or can easily learn how (like with the terminal this week), it’s cool. For me manjaro gives access to Pacman and AUR without the risk of something going wrong on an Arch install. I don’t have time to troubleshoot a bad installation, fix the GUI, and stuff like that. ![]() ![]() However, I need a working computer RIGHT NOW. I want to learn more linux and be good at it, I’ve already progressed a lot since I started with Ubuntu. In the end, for me, it’s all about ease of use. Well, I was going to install arch, but I use LUKS and I honestly wasn’t willing to do the disk partitioning via command line.
