I have always found manjaro to be excellent. I actually also like their rolling release process. I find the manajro release process much better (for me) than that used by Gentoo distros, for example. The only issue I ever really have had, in over 5 years of manjaro use, was with systemd errors (not actually a manajro problem). But even that over the years became more stable. Lately I, also, have played around with ArchLabs. It, is also a wonderful distro, especially well tuned to Openbox, i3wm and bspwm.

There is no need to ever be embarrassed about learning, trying, and expanding your vistas... :number1:

I'm too lazy to run Manjaro :) I don't like to constantly fiddle with my OS, or have to constantly update, or be reading about what might break my system next. Then again I think Ubuntu has too many updates :) I installed it years ago an it was easy to install, and I can appreciate that it is popular with many people.

Just install and use both, like me! :p

And appreciate their respective strengths and good points. Where one is weak, the other is strong, and vice versa.

I read somewhere that when installing Manjaro, formatting the "/" partition in btrfs was better, is that true?

And me. ;)
I'm running Manjaro on my daily laptop and so does my wife, not much issues in the past 5 years.

MX is on my desktop that is mainly used for music and printing, did not want to have to update that much. :wink:

And why is VLC looking odd? Maybe because it is qt.

I really think the best place for that question is the manjaro forums.... don't be shy. :bagoverhead: There are good and smart people over there ready to help. :lipsrsealed:

Well, beside the fact that the text in the menu is too small (in regard with the size I have chosen in settings), there is this weird white/greyish stripe (which is a part of the UI I guess) between the video and the menu. Not a big deal though, just odd...
