    As a Manjaro developer, I really enjoyed this comparison. Pop os is great, and their tiling extension is the most mature option out there despite its young age. That's why it is in manjaro repositories too, and shipped in the next release of Manjaro gnome edition too. Pop os devs are also really nice to collaborate with.

    I bought a System76 laptop last year, which came with PopOS. I immediately scraped for Void for no other reason than that I wanted to try something new. Now, jump to today & I am just exhausted with configuring things myself. I decided to give Pop a shot, and Installed about a month ago. I am truly impressed. Out of the box, things worked perfectly (expected as I have a system76 machine). The gnome-based DE is just beautiful, snappy & a joy to look at and use. I'm also loving their tiling window manager; it brings me back to the custom tiling WM I had on my other linux boxes. Now, sure, with Pop's default apt pkg manager, I'm missing a few things and packages have a higher chance of being outdated; but, If i need a package that doesn't exist, or if the package version in apt is outdated, then I'll just use linuxbrew to install. I am super happy with Pop and even prefer using it over my Mac work machine lol.

      I just have one desktop and I want to switch from windows to linux but i don't lnow too much about it. I also game a little bit like maybe 2 times a week and I've seen that gaming is not on windows level yet. Pther than that i just browse(e.g YT, and other stuff). I watch shows and movies a lot(Netflix). So would ypu recommend the switch from windows to linux or not?

I would check on ProtonDB to see how well they work either natively on linux or through the proton layer. Gaming was the only thing holding me back from the switch, and turns out that it has progressed leaps and bounds in the last year even. Hopefully that helps you figure out if its worth it for you

Gaming is pretty much flawless, I use Steam to manage my library and the only games I really _can't_ get to work are using some tier 0 (root authority) anti-cheat. Whatever you do, especially if you're new, make sure you use an application like TimeShift. It's a very good tool that is akin to system restore on Windows.

    As a choice between the two I've always leaned more towards an arch experience which is why for me anyway Manjaro provides the best out of the box setup and gives me a hassle free instant arch system. Most Ubuntu systems feel a little restricted in the sense that if you want something specific you have to tweak, download a new repository and so on just to get what you want to work. Manjaro just let's you do what you need to and is miles more bleeding edge with newer kernels helped by the kernel tool😁. I think it does just come down to what you prefer, some like fedora, some like Ubuntu, some Slackware but for me Arch will always be top.

    Pop! was a godsend on my dual-graphics laptop. It usually froze when trying to so much as install any distro, but Pop! installed fine and worked like a charm. I prefer Manjaro as a daily driver on my gaming rig, but highly recommend Pop! to those that may have the same issues I had with my dual-graphics laptop.

    If you run Manjaro, run a backup of your system configuration (e.g., using Timeshift) before applying updates. Also, run updates frequently. The longer you go between updates, the more the risk of something breaking increases. One time I went 2 or 3 months without updating Manjaro. When I finally did update it, it was completely borked. I could not even chroot into it.

    • @OmegaDarkMage

      @Major Gear It's a single large repoository maintained by the Arch community, it's got a very large collection of packages for just about anything you could ever need on the off chance your distros official and community repos don't have something you need. For example I have a Canon MG 2400 printer (old printer) that didn't work on linux for some reason. I found out I needed a certain driver that wasn't in the manjaro repos but it was available on the AUR (Arch User Respository) luckily.

    • @choicesii1
      @choicesii1 3 года назад

      @Major Gear aur repo has every app from every distro converted for arch. And mostly you dont have to worry about what drivers or libraries you're missing. Best example would be installing amd opencl drivers for dual GPU's is a nightmare. On pacman they have a amd opencl package after installing both GPU's work. Otherwise only one gpu works from amd website. And most importantly it updates automatically, and never breaks on kernel update. On fedora and ubuntu amdgpu drivers always broke on kernel update.

    - Bleeding edge software: Install via pop shop as flatpak. It is maintained by flathub which does a good job releasing new versions. The original project authors are often involved. You can also use Linuxbrew to install bleeding edge software from source.
    - Long term support: Pop has the faster release version too. LTS is only recommended for people who want extreme stability and don't mind old packages.
    - Pop is not gnome dependent. You can super easily swap desktop environment with 1 command and 1 click. First sudo apt install the environment you want (system76 has an article about this). Then (without configuring anything) just log out and click a drop down on the login screen to select another environment. You can easily swap between desktop environments at any time.

    Thank you for your clear and concise comparisons of these two distros. I am relatively new to Linux but have been around the block quite a few times with Windoze PC builds (been building systems since 1996) and have rarely been satisfied with any Microsoft OS - hated MSDOS and still do but can work with it if I have to, the early MS Windows 1-Me were horrible, I got along with XP and 7, 8 was a horrifying nightmare and 10 can't decide what the hell it wants to be. I got my wifi software ripped to shreds by the May 2020 update and it's been downhill ever since. I have now gotten into Raspberry Pi SBCs and am enjoying the Rasbian based OSs but I would like to work with some beefier Linux distros and finally LEARN how to code and work with the non-GUI interfaces like a grown-up guy! Gosh darn it!
    I am converting a two year old Dell Inspiron 17 (AMD Ryzen 3 with Radeon Vega Gfx, 8 gigs of RAM, 1 terabyte HD - which I recently broke) into a Linux machine. I've already installed a 500 GB M.2 SSD for the boot drive and replaced the broken HD with a 256 GB SSD for extra storage and adding 8 more gigs of RAM. NOW I know what Linux OS I want, thanks to you. Have subscribed and glad I did!

Takes a long time to configure but I really like it and keep going back to it when I want to try something else. I also tried Manjaro XFCE and love it as well.

Currently using gnome because of the snow extension that falls down the screen. Gnome seems more like a better desktop when it comes to adding different features in a simple way with extensions. I don't mind arch and just know that when using the terminal I have to use "sudo pacman -S" to install apps instead of the "sudo apt install" of pop os. I am i young Linux who has been using it for the past 10 years or so but still learning as I go along. I love pop since i first started using it in the early days. If i had a big enough hard drive and I could do more than the dual boot i have now i would have triple boot Manjaro, Popos and win11 as backup.

    I have used Ubuntu/Debian based distro and then Manjaro (+ Plasma) is my first Arch experience. I have stuck with it for about 6 month, which is actually my longest stay on linux ever. But I have love and hate relationship with Manjaro.
    I love they what they did updates. And I love AUR. Also, pretty subjective stuff but I also like the name and logo haha.
    But I also get overwhelmed by manual configs or tweaking stuff when somethig is broken.
    So I might hop into Pop!_OS in the future.

    My take is they're both fantastic.
    If you like apt, Debian or Pop OS
    If you like pacman, Arch or Manjaro.
    I prefer APT so I use Pop OS on my main rig, but use manjaro on my laptop

    PopOS is probably the best bet if you have one computer you use for a lot of different things (like me). Manjaro is a great option if you have a dedicated system for gaming, and are familiar with terminal. To me though, I really like the stability of PopOS, while still getting a very modern UI that is intuitive and straightforward, and native support for many devices without having to constantly fight with drivers.

    Do distrubution really matter in the end tough? I mean, all things can be done on any distrobution and you can get them to look exactly the same. For me they are all the same, just different DE's(sometimes just the theme of these) and different package managers. Some are made easier to use and some come with nothing and are harder to use, but you can still do anything on them. Same same but different.

    Manjaro's easy to customize any way you want. PopOS is really user friendly but you need some tweaking to customize. They're both stable but manjaro requires little bit more tweaking and some command line to run some applications. I used both but stick to manjaro because of the easy customization.

    POP is really nice. Its beautiful. Its Stable. It uses APT and DPKG, so learning POP OS will give transferable skills which can be used for a job.
    Let be honest, the majority of people who use linux for something that isnt an actually in productioin , or are trying to learn linux, do it to gain skills for a career.
    Using manjaro uses a package manager that is rarely, if ever, used in enterprise environments. Those skills will not be transferable to a job.
    with that said, I used fedora as my main OS. Its stable, has nice features and with FC34, I can use KDE with it. It uses rpm and dnf .

      Pop OS is a derivative of Ubuntu. Ubuntu uses a different package manager then red hat and also uses a few different config files.

    Oh, and when I switched the desktop from that god awful Gnome3 to xfce (via the command line), the OS was buggy on boot and the screen had lines and whatnot. Making it (seem) unusable.
    Im not faulting it all to the OS, I'm sure I could have worked out the issues if I spent more time with it but Im not really one renown for my patience with such things.

    At 5:44 you say that Manjaro has architect DE. Architech on Manjaro is not a desktop environenemt, it's an installation wizard allowing you to install Manjaro in any configuration you want. You can choose from any DE, file system, software, etc... And you're comparing Manjaro XFCE to Pop'OS (gnome), If you choose Manjaro Gnome you will have the exact level of customization and if you take Majaro KDE then you're customization will be to the roof.

    I really liked pop OS but the sound issues were too much to deal with and after struggling without any sound for a week and constantly searching the internet for fixes that didn't work anyway, I decided to switch over to Manjaro. Manjaro had no sound problems and it installed flawlessly without any problems. But I still couldn't find any working solutions to the sound problems in Pop OS.
    Another thing to mention is that I recently switched over to linux from windows and I am by no means a linux veteran, which made solving issues like this much harder. But so far, I haven't got any issues with Manjaro.

    I used Pop OS for a while as my first linux distro, but I HATE Gnome and other desktops were messy to use in Pop OS, which only officially supports Gnome. I also had several annoying graphical bugs with Pop OS. Manjaro in KDE Plasma is perfect for me with gaming and regular use. Plus the AUR kicks ass!
    Protip: If you're using Manjaro for gaming, consider this before thinking of using XFCE. If you turn off mouse acceleration in XFCE, it will slow your cursor down, and there is no mouse cursor speed option to speed the cursor back up without acceleration. I think KDE is best.

    I would personally prefer PopOS, but the only reason really is because it has full access to the ubuntu repositories. I have changed the desktop env on my PopOS install. If manjaro was based on Ubuntu and had access to ubuntu repos then I would choose it any day, Let's be real. A lot of linux applications being developed today still focus on ubuntu, which means that having an OS based off of it can be very beneficial.

    I've been using Arch based distros for about two years. Started with Antergos, then migrated to vanilla Arch when the project died. Since Arch has a bleeding edge always fresh policy I ran into some issues. When I first used Manjaro (Gnome) I had some personal opinions concerning how they've changed the DE. It seems to me that Gnome is the DE they hated most. Why so many changes? They've practically tried to turn Gnome into some XFCE/KDE hybrid like stuff.
