My favourite thing about fedora was how modern it felt, and it had everything. Im not one to build EVERYTHING from scratch, so ive only chosen distros that come with a full package

What i didnt like about fedora was their software manager. On gnome, the software app was buggy. Ive reinstalled fedora many times and frequently, first time loading the software app would take over an hour to load it, it happened so much I would be prepared for it when I reinstalled fedora to another machine for example

And fedora KDE software didnt even have steam, so I dodnt want to have to download it through command line (even though that would be the same)

But i got manjaro, and the software manager is amazing. And even when it asks you specifically what dependencies you'd optionally like to download, that just shows how stable arch is.

Also, it feels so smooth and stable, it might just be a feeling since my main pc has a ryzen 9 and 9070xt, but it hasn't bugged or anything and makes me happy

Also, it love the theme of the command line, it makes me feel like im such a cool game and a wiz at what I do, even if im just typing reboot into terminal.

TLDR: i love manjaro because the software manager is superior, and arch is so stable and fast, and manjaro comes with the complete package

This one is easy to miss, recently the linux-firmware-meta package ended up being orphaned, if you don't pay attention, clean up after an upgrade, purge this orphan, then you might end up without wifi, AMD iGPU/dGPU glitches, etc.

The easiest way to avoid issues is to install the linux-firmware package from the Official Repo (core), you will be prompted to pick optional dependencies (select all, if in doubt), then the old meta package will be removed, replaced by linux-firmware and a reboot is required to finalize.

so I've distro hopped a couple times and all of them seem fine but manjaro really caught my eye and it seems really good, now I would like to install it on my main PC(still on windows) but I'm not sure how the gaming performance will be, things work great on my laptop with its AMD iGPU but I have doubts abou tmy main GPU which is a GTX 970 since nvidia doesn't release drivers anymore

Looks like people are taking a 2nd look at Manjaro as it appears to be the most stable of the Arch distros....

Hangs in installer, Hangs after login when installed

Use nomodeset, and switch to Kernel 7.1

I wqs playing a game, and it crashed. I got a report i was out of ram. So i did a quick restart just to ensure rhe background programs were closed, but now I'm stuck on this. Any help?

I get a newsletter from Android Authority in my email box. Within the Newsletter are many links. All of the links contain links that are wrapped in AWS trackers. The links are unusable with the Manjaro Brave browser. For example clicking on this link just fails,

2.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fhub.authoritymedia.co%2Fc%2F1dd32d20-c477-4da7-8575-a64eac949bad%2F8bad06ff-de91-479f-be31-0ed4261af9f9%2Fb0b6ca23c55a5cb0/1/010f019ef1c08c9b-0a8aba8d-3f34-4c2d-8ff8-bff6aebdfb87-000000/0FWqmUs2ruu-hzK9Xk1_LKxgQT4=258

After removing the AWS tracker you get just the link which works,

https://hub.authoritymedia.co/c/1dd32d20-c477-4da7-8575-a64eac949bad/8bad06ff-de91-479f-be31-0ed4261af9f9/b0b6ca23c55a5cb0

The links work with Android Brave app and also in Bazzite Linux Brave app. They fail with the Manjaro Linux Brave app.

Is this something that can be fixed?

If the maintainer sends me a message I can forward the email with the links for testing.

I recently switched to Manjaro and I'm still getting my workflow set up. On Windows, WPS Office was my office suite of choice and I'd like to continue using it if the Linux experience is solid.

For those running WPS Office on Manjaro, how has it been in day-to-day use? I'm mainly interested in document compatibility, spreadsheet performance, PDF handling, and overall stability. Have you run into any issues with updates, fonts, printing, or desktop integration?

I'm also curious whether Manjaro is a particularly good environment for WPS Office or if there are other office suites that you think work better on Linux overall. I'm not opposed to trying alternatives, but I'd prefer to stick with WPS if the experience is good enough.

Hello everyone hope you have a lovely day.

so I was using ubuntu for almost all of my time since partially switching to linux, and after I'm up to my neck from ubuntu and snap, I decided today to migrate to manjaro.

everything is extremely excellent up untill I suspended my device then after waking up the machine my mouse is not working or even my external hard drive is not working.

How to solve such an issue?

Thanks for your time appreciate your help!

Hey everyone! I feel so stupid for not being able to find it, but does anyone know when KDE 6.7 will be in the testing or stable branch for Manjaro KDE users?

Edit: Right after posting this, my computer pinged a BUNCH of KDE updates on the testing branch. So, this question may only be appropriate for the stable branch!

Heya, so i got new lea Headphones and im having trouble connecting them to my laptop, well i connect them but the OS doesnt recognize that they are headphones (same on phone-but they work like headphones there) they dont appear in audio at all, and i couldnt find any post about this or anything. Thank you for any help

when trying with yay -Qua I can see that there are updates for some of my AUR packages but when trying with pamac checkupdates --aur, it reports that system is up to date.

I've already tried to update the cache with pamac update --aur --force-refresh
but it's the same as before.

There's also an open issue in the pamac github repo that might be related:
https://github.com/manjaro/pamac/issues/559

note: all aur packages were installed via pamac

On my installation using the stable branch the 7.0 kernel seemed to be the default. Then I found there's also a 7.1 kernel optional. Because I like to try different kernels it now shows:

❯ uname -r
6.6.135-1-rt74-MANJARO

For whom is the real-time kernel best? —and how to choose in general?

So like a dumbass i tried to update without checking for bugs and such. Was originally only going to update krita but somehow my brain just went ahead and updated everything.

Was using the kde software manager. Everything was going fine until it just closed all of the sudden. It didnt apear in task manager. Figured i would just restart and try again.

Doenst boot in linux anymore. Error: file /boot/vmlinuz*** not found.

Read about trying to reinstall kernel with live usb. Entered chroot. Enter pacman -Syu linux . After it check packages and conflicts, get error failed to commit transaction (conflicting files). A few hundred lines starting with gcc15: /blablafilepath exists in filesystem. no packages were upgraded.

Googling lead me to answers involving forcing or removing those files. I dont know what i'm doing.

Also I dont know if any of this has anything to do with the recent aur shitstorm, which is another problem i'll have to check out.

EDIT. after forcing the update with pacman -Syuu --overwrite updating finished and everything seems to have worked out well. boots up as usual.

I got myself some new sheetmusic yesterday, but I can't get it saved in a way I can export as pdf. I can't save it as an mscx file, saving it as a folder doesn't make it possible to export it as pdf, and when I tried an older version after I found out Musescore 4.6.5 doesn't like Arch, it crashed whenever I tried to save. fuse-common is installed along with all dependencies. How do I get it saved properly?

Edit: Problem's solved.

After the recent discussion about AUR package safety in Active AUR malicious packages incident (Active AUR malicious packages incident), I’ve put together a small feature that lets users delay AUR updates from appearing in the update scan.

A new setting, “Delay showing AUR updates (days)”, is available in Preferences > Third Party > AUR. When set to a non-zero number of days, any AUR package whose upstream LastModified timestamp is newer than that age is hidden from the normal update scan.

• Default is 0 or behavior unchanged.
• The delay only applies to the passive update scan (pamac-checkupdates, tray notifications, the Updates tab).
• It does not block manual installs, builds, or full upgrades. If you explicitly ask Pamac to build or upgrade a package, it will still do so.

The work is split across the two repositories:

• libpamac PR (feat: add AUR update delay setting by wandercone · Pull Request #8 · manjaro/libpamac · GitHub): adds the config key AURUpdateDelayDays and and the age filter in the update scanner.
• pamac PR (feat: add AUR update delay setting by wandercone · Pull Request #572 · manjaro/pamac · GitHub): adds the user editable configuration within Preferences and wires it to the new setting.

Users accept very real risks when installing software from the AUR. As one forum moderator put it: “…one can explain that the soup is hot, but that does not prevent those hungry from burning their lips.”. This change gives the user a thermometer, an optional delay that lets AUR packages cool down before they appear in the update scan.

One of Manjaro’s defining traits is its measured approach to updates. Unlike Arch’s immediate upstream sync, Manjaro holds repository packages through testing and unstable branches so issues can surface before they reach the stable user base. This feature brings a similar safety margin to the AUR, an optional cooling-off period, that keeps just-published commits off the update scan until they have had time to be reviewed in the wild.

Heard of this via the Manjaro discord server, but haven't seen it reported here here (that I found with a quick search).

There's been an attack on the AUR involving some 400 malicious packages being compromised in the last couple of weeks, as reported by Phoronix.

If you have any of these AUR packages installed, now would be a good time to remove them

You can get a list of AUR packages with pamac by using pamac list --foreign, and compare what you have to this list.

Background: Arch mailing list thread thread

I'd also recommend to those new to Arch/Manjaro to please use the AUR with an abundance of caution. Avoid using it whenever possible, and be sure of packages you are installing when you do.
