Manjaro is based on Arch Linux and it comes with all the goodies of arch. It is also more common to see that Hardware vendors has hardware bugs which they solve in software. Maybe your vendor is doing something strange or uses some strange hardware. But you should do some research before buying or switching to Linux. I have a T480 and I had to do 0 configurations regarding hardware. Usually, Thinkpads are working out of the box with every Linux Distro. I'm still disappointed in Lenovo and that the new fingerprint scanner is not working. Now mostly everything is supported out of the box. Not as important as it was a few years ago.
#MANJARO VS ARCH LINUX INSTALL#
Something that has a UI to install your base system. If you want to use Linux I would start with something easy to install like Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint/Manjaro. In a lot of cases I find it easier to do that then looking around in a UI.

I have no problem with changing configuration files from the terminal. My workflow and my setup might not be the best setup for someone who has never used Linux. One of my favourite distros was Archbang. I was working on elementary OS at some point and even fixed the Ubuntu build system.

Which by the way you don't have to do anymore.
#MANJARO VS ARCH LINUX DRIVERS#
Where you had to compile your Wifi drivers to make them work with Linux. Back in the days when Ubuntu was actually good. It was these small things that added up and made it not very pleasant to use.įirst of all I'm not new to Linux. One example is when you press the key (No its not the Windows key just because it has the windows flag on it) and start to type the application you want to open, it would take ages to find anything and if it would find something it was the wrong thing. It is maybe not a problem with Windows but just how my brain works. ? The general flow of working did not feel right for me.
#MANJARO VS ARCH LINUX MOD#
I removed the App on my phone from every possible energy saving mod and all that stuff and It still would not work. When it did it would now show half of the notifications. ☎ The Windows Phone companion App was not working for me most of the time. This happened mostly with notifications from browsers. Randomly they would not show in the bottom right but when I would open the notification center I would see them. ? One thing I could not get to work or sometimes it would work sometimes not is notifications in Windows.

Sometimes they would work with WSL but for example symlinks would be broken or not work at all in WSL. ? Also other development tools that only work on Unix system either needed a special setup or would not work at all with Windows. So I needed to run the backend in a VirtualBox and this would cause my ThinkPad T480 to bluescreen randomly. ? Currently, I'm working on a Laravel/PHP project and some PHP extension would not work with Windows. I had to restart my machine after some hours of work because somewhere was a memory leak. Even with WSL2 it was not much faster and working with docker and WSL was just a mess. ? WSL(1) compared to a native Linux was at least for me 10x times slower. With the new Terminal and WSL, it was a way more pleasant experience but it still had some flaws. Windows 10 gets better with every update. If you like to develop on Windows or OSX then this is totally fine and as long as it keeps you productive it is the best tool for you. Disclaimer: This is my Setup and how I like to work.
