Pacman is the package installer that Arch Linux uses just like Ubuntu uses APT and Fedora uses DNF. The Arch wiki is a comprehensive body of knowledge containing documentation for virtually any task you want to complete in Arch Linux and even other distributions.īecause Manjaro Linux is an Arch Linux derivative that stays close to the heart of Arch, you can take advantage of this elegant knowledge base 5. You don’t have to worry about any updates clashing with your settings or even making clean installations because the Manjaro team makes sure to release only updates that are compatible with your system. Manjaro Linux, unlike Ubuntu and folds of distros like it, is a rolling release, which means that its core system is always up to date. Although I got past that issue and stuck with it over the years, I can’t deny that I would like it if I had to worry less about updating my system. The very first issue I had the first time I used Ubuntu is its persistent updates. Manjaro’s repo is a lot more organized with fewer broken and/or outdated packages which makes it more reliable to use. Manjaro Linux boasts a customized repository which ensures that all accessible software packages whether updates, fixes, or applications, are fully tested to be stable and are 100% compatible with your system. The Manjaro team has successfully made Arch Linux available to everyone, newbie or professional, and because it carries all the goodies in Arch with it, more people can now access the awesomeness of Arch Linux through Manjaro. In 2018, a Linux newbie can easily pick Manjaro as his first Linux distro but the same cannot be said about even Arch Linux (in most cases).
