    Linux Mint and Manjaro are two Linux distros that couldn’t be further apart from each other. While Mint is known for its superior stability and usability, Manjaro is known for its bleeding edge nature. While one offers undeniable solidity, the other offers unmatched versatility. And the differences go on and on.
    But at the same time, there are some similarities here as well. Now these might surprise you. Both Mint and Manjaro are extremely popular and have their respective die hard followers. They both provide industry leading software availability. They both are very easy to use and they both provide enjoyable computing experiences. In fact, Linux Mint and Manjaro are two of the best Linux distros of all time.
    But the real question here is how do they compare against each other? Which among them is the best, which among these is more suitable for you.
    To answer these I installed both Mint and Manjaro on the same machine, and I have been using them both as my daily drivers, using the same set of software on both the distros. And what I found out was quite surprising. These two systems have a personality of their own and they are quite opposite in nature. You can use and love one, any one, but not both.
    So let’s jump right in and take a deeper look at these two fantastic Linux distros and see which one comes out on top. One of these two might just as well end up being your next daily driver.

    Excellent review. Manjaro is leading edge and exciting. Mint is elegant, more stable and dependable, while being pretty current. I have left exciting and leading edge (which is fun) and opted for elegant, stable and dependable. Like you said, both are great distros, just decide what do you want? New Linux users ONLY CHOICE is LINUX MINT - Cinnamon!

    endeavour is better than manjaro because its basically real arch made easy. manjaro adds all sorts of bs to arch and even holds back on some updates, meaning its not really 100 percent arch.

    What I miss about Mint - and perhaps the main reason I don't use it - is the lack of a decent built-in desktop search.
    I know: Some will say that it's all a question of better organization, and that's partly true. But on a heavily used desktop machine, there are _so_ many files from so many episodes in the user's life and interests. I find it virtually impossible to organize things completely and decently enough. So I need a decent, integrated, index-based desktop search.
    Both Gnome and KDE have this. What is the problem for the Cinnamon desktop?

      arch distro holding back packages is a bad recipe.
      if you don't want to use vanilla arch, i can understand but at this point, just use something like endeavour.
      time only tells me i hate it more. manjaro devs just broke mesa for apple silicon and it's not the first time they break something that is not theirs.

  • @hoshi411
    @hoshi411 6 месяцев назад +12

    Manjaro is only bleeding edge if you aren't on STABLE stream. The stable stream is very stable. When things break in Manjaro, THAT IS THE UNSTABLE AND TESTING branch. So tired of this.

    If I'm going to install Manjaro, I'd simply install Arch and have, in fact, done just that. Mint LMDE by contrast, I feel, is an improvement on core Debian. As for the AUR, it should be used with extreme care.

    I used Mint for months, but Cinnamon DE never sit well with me, and I was annoyed by many bugs that were just there, not being fixed, because packages were frozen and not updated. On rolling releases, bugs are also present but are way quicker fixed. Anyway, I moved to Manjaro (8 years ago) and I'm still using it. Moreover, I am still using the same OS install, which shows how stable Manjaro could be in right hands. Basically, Manjaro could break, but there are easy ways to fix it. First, have backups. Second, know how to use manjaro-chroot and restore backups. Third, pay attention to Manjaro forum announcements. Most fixes and issues are listed there.

    More or less all linux distros are same. Availability of the lastest software is not any distinguishable feature anymore since the arrival of flatpak and snap package solutions. Its a bit boring to watch comparisons on two different bases of distros along with *brief* introduction to the Linux distro itself. Rather than focusing on how to transition from windows/macos to Linux mostly people focus on making distro review videos.
    Findings out what a general average computer users (for like home users, students on science ,data engineering and business statistical analyst ) do on windows and trying to make videos on how they can achieve that level of productivity,to some extent,should be the content direction for the linux RUclipsrs in my opinion.
    Although it's not totally impossible to search for videos and readings reddit or blog post for doing usual things (other than coding and customizing stuffs), make dedicated videos on such tasks or software would be nicer. I mean how you would gonna introduce some different operating system to the new comers if they dont have the similar level of productivity in terms of software availability and usability on Linux.

  • @mr.mastermind4840

    this might be a bit unrelated but i find myself having to reboot ubuntu once to several times a day to fix software related issues.. before the recent manjaro update i didnt have any of these issues. honestly i think manjaro was more stable before the new update. the new update bricked my manjaro OS and decided to switch to ubuntu. Ubuntu is a good OS but im realizing im getting a lot more data corruption and apps that just dont work.. i need to install software from debian to get proper functionality.

    I"m considering your course. BUT- I got mashed between 2 trucks in 99 and since that accident-- I don't "retain" stuff like I use to. Before I could watch something ONCE and learn it-- now I can't.. and unrelated combos of letter and "code" like things--- just don't stick in my mind like they use to... so I'm wondering if I should or not. NOTHING against you or your course-- which I'm sure is GREAT--- just I don't know if I can retain it well enough to use it or not. I understand what you're telling me-- but 20 minutes later- I can't recall a lot of it (the technical stuff that is)..

    Manjaro gets airtime in podcasts > Mint nobody talks about it anymore for like 8 years
    Manjaro has projects like orange pie and great for gaming > mint , nothing
    Manjaro , install what you need > Mint , break your system trying to add ppa or some random junk to get basic stuff

      Mint community is not dead. It's actually one of the most active community, what you said just makes no sense.
      Nobody talks about Mint?
      Huh?? Mint is the 2nd most popular distro according to distrowatch.
      Mint doesn't brake your system with PPA. That's actually an AUR thing, especially with Manjaro. Manjaro team doesn't really recommend using AUR because it can be problematic
