Im using manjaro gnome from last year. And they improved massively 😍 I never thought i will love gnome. But the latest one is best. Idle ram under 1gb with all extensions. And it does have built in material shell, pop shell and other cool extensions. I was thinking to move on Window managers only era. But i don't want to switch from my current gnome workflow of manjaro. Its working flawlessly ❤️
I tested the KDE-version of 20.2. My daughter (after 10 years *.deb) will get Manjaro KDE on new notebook, my grandchild (9 years on other hardware) will install on his notebook by himself. The greatest feature of Manjaro KDE installation media is for me: Boot, systemsettings, increase global scaling to 200, logout, login again with password "manjaro", et voila you can see everything on 4k display. Myself have Arch-KDE with rEFInd, thanks Ermanno. That really user friendly. Thanks again Ermanno, best channel ever. Simply explained.
I use Manjaro 20.2, automaticly updated with a rolling update. And for me, the rolling update is one of the first quality of Manjaro. I used to work on Ubuntu but the new versions need to re-install the whole OS if you want a stable one. For me, now, Manjaro is my main version, others are only for tests (Mint & Fedora). Thanks for your video.
Great video! i'm into Linux for a couple of years only and started with mint. i migrated to the previous manjaro and liked it from first sight. a couple of days ago i played too enthusiastically with the terminal while trying to install something. my system crashed and i fresh installed nibia. it works great! no complaints at all. Forgot to mentiin, Manjaro Gnome.
I installed it on my external hdd. It is very polished and on boot up uses less ram than usually does gnome(about 800 mb). Great distro. I am a bit of a noob on linux😅, started using about 10 months ago,but to my opinion arch and arch-based distros are the best. I cant wait for your other videos. 😊
want to see more video for manjaro gnome... how to customize new theme like macOs and tips for great compatible apps for image and video editing thanks
I used Manjaro XFCE for the first 6 months of 2020. Really love it. But I found I spent to much time tweaking, making changes, and updating. Needed something better for daily driver. The new Mint/Ubuntu version didn't work with the HP I had. MX was simple to install, stable, lots of GUI utilities, less updating/changes, and made daily work less of a hassle. But, MX has older software versions. I still test other distros, but MX makes everything so smooth/stable/reliable, it's difficult to change. Thanks for your channel and videos.
Thank you for another quality video Ermanno! Seems like a pretty solid release, I'm glad to see Manjaro Gnome get some love, I've always though they favored the KDE spin more, for all their claims that XFCE is the flagship edition. Been seeing a lot more Gnome pop up more in general in your videos lately, are you considering to make the jump on your main machine is it KDE for life?
I've actually installed Manjaro Gnome 2 days ago and I really like it but the Tilling Layout just crashes my pc completely, and it's a fairly new desktop with recent parts, so the pc was not the problem. I spent 1 hour trying to put it back to Manjaro Layout because every time I booted it just crashed I was only able to revert the layout using some terminal commands and ssh from my labtop because not even the TTY was responding, very sad But overall I'm liking it a lot because everything else works and the pop shell is just amazing
one thing I find interesting is the "parental control" option. Would parental control (in general, not necessarily Manjaro) and kind of "Linux for Kids" be something you would like to cover in your videos?
@EF Are you at home in security, just basics like configuring a firewall, setting network-rules, maybe some containerization...and this in such a way that it does not impact convenience and does not soak up resources (though I personally don't care much about RAM, I have enough). A video about that might be interesting. I think that most users struggle with this, I do.
Thank you for this review, Ermanno! :) Nice DE, I tried it on my KVM (thank you for it too! lol). It's nice, flexible, yet - I'm not sure I will use it instead of my favorite i3wm. I know - Gnome it's DE, i3 - it's wm. Just a moment... I saw in my updates some notifications about gnome utilities. Is it possible, that during installation of Arch Gnome DE had been installed by default?
it only misses btrfs by default with timeshift snapshots (Garuda is still the best). I'll forward a feature request for that. also, glad to see gnome spin has lost some weight.
Do brightness settings works well? And does desktop wakeup after sleep? I was using manjaro nibia KDE with 5.9.1 kernal which comes default with nibia and was experiencing above issues. Later i replace kernal with 5.4 and things working pretty well now.
In your description i mentioned that you use ryzen 9 powerful PC. I don't like windows and i think that windows is a crap, but game developers support windows, and that's why windows will be popular long time. What do you do on you PC? I use Linux, because its easier, more lightweight, Linux has less bugs, and it's very very nice for programming (more comfortable than on windows) But for games on my powerful PC i still use Windows, just like no other options here.
I built my first PC in 1995 and the one I have now it's the second one :) So, this one is going to stay for a long time. I don't game usually, and when I game I do it very rarely. I do it on Linux with Steam, since Steam is based on Linux. Arch Linux became my main distro and it's the one I use daily :)

I remember KDE having also a layout manager when I used Feren OS.

i would like to appreciate your efforts Mr. Ermanno!
Thank you so much! Same to you!
Great review. Hope you also review the KDE version.
Merry Christmas and thank you for ALL your videos!
Same to you! Thank you so much!
Good Bless You and your family Mr. Ermanno. And thank for the many Videos, tutorials about Linux. Happy christmas.
Thank you so much! Same to you and your loved ones!
Another great video, thank you. Have yourself an awesome Xmas :-)
Same to you!
Gnome seems to be the decent Desktop

No, never. I'll always try something new. I started with KDE, which I really liked. Now I am trying out Gnome. Next year I'll try the move to a WM :)

Great video, thank you so much for posting! Have you ever tried linux from scratch?
Not yet, but I'll have a look at it :)
Don't forget the very important anytentior, at 9:49 !! 🤣

I'll look into it!

I've done some videos separately on those topics, but it is something I'm goin to explore more in 2021 :) Happy holidays Peter!
@@eflinux I hope that you have wondeful days. :)
Same to you!
Thanks for the video! May I ask what monitor model do you use? I can see it’s a Dell 😃
It's a Dell U2419HC.

btrfs and also garuda sucks, you will find out soon.
Can you please make a video on Mopidy and Ncmpcpp?
I'll look into it :)
@@eflinux Tbh I did figure it out. Thanks btw.
Do brightness settings works well? And does desktop wakeup after sleep? I was using manjaro nibia KDE with 5.9.1 kernal which comes default with nibia and was experiencing above issues. Later i replace kernal with 5.4 and things working pretty well now.
The both worked well on my laptop. I can't say for other machines though.
Nice video. But, I will keep my Endeavour OS installation running.

@@eflinux thanks for your reply. I also loved Linux, and i will never change it to Linux on my laptop.
I also will try it on my PC
Manjaro is the actually best distro for normal users.
Nsm.
I wonder if Arch users turn to manjaro cause they want to build the system themselves. Otherwise, they're already good with ubuntu and linux mint.
Linux from scratch please
I switch to garuda .... it's more faster than manjaro ❤️❤️
It's not so good and way to bloated.
I appreciate every comment, but it would be more interesting to know why you think that :)
