Manjaro Linux 18.1, released on Sept. 12, is one of the most complete Linux OSes you will find. It is a powerhouse distro that offers a better Arch Linux computing platform, and it is the de facto standard for comparing Arch family options. After six months of development, the latest series is a fast, user-friendly, desktop-oriented operating system based on Arch Linux — but its independent nature makes this distro a hallmark of out-of-the-box computing. Arch Linux itself is renowned for being exceptionally fast, powerful and lightweight.
Manjaro hates my computer. I tried installing it twice to two different disk drives. It boots and shutdowns too slow and anything dealing with disk access to another partition slows the computer to a crawl. I've got an Arch and Bluestar installs and they work fine, so it isn't Arch linux that's the problem, nor is it my disk drives, as I've got 7other distros installed and they all work fine. Puzzling, to say the least.
