Manjaro [ manʃɑːro ] is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux that is being developed in Germany, France and Austria. It is primarily a free operating system for personal computers that is geared towards user - friendliness . Like its base, Arch Linux, it uses a rolling release model.

particularities

With its own installation program and a graphical front end for package management, it is aimed at both beginners and advanced users.

The developers offer different editions, which differ in the installed desktop environment and associated programs. Xfce , KDE and Gnome are provided as standard interfaces , but projects for Manjaro users also include editions with Cinnamon , Enlightenment , LXDE , MATE , Openbox , the Deepin Desktop Environment or the minimal Net Edition (without a pre-installed display manager) available for download as an installation medium (DVD image). Manjaro Linux uses its own package repositories which are used to offer stable versions of the Arch Linux repositories. The packages go through the "unstable" and "testing" branches before they are released as a stable version. As a user, you always have the option of switching between the three different branches. The user can thus decide for himself how important it is to be up to date or stable.

The installation program Calamares offers both automatic and manual hard disk partitioning, as well as hardware detection, e.g. B. for graphics cards, and can automatically install required drivers. An installed Manjaro Linux is kept up-to-date via rolling releases with the package manager alone, without reinstallation or system upgrade. With Octopi ( Qt ) and Pamac ( GTK + ), Manjaro offers its own front ends for the Arch Linux package manager Pacman - packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR) can also be configured accordingly .

Another innovation in Manjaro 18.1 is the built-in support for Flatpak and Snap packages. The graphical package management tool "bauh" (previously called "fpakman") is available to users for this purpose.

The systemd program is used for the init process of system initialization of the operating system, which enables the computer to start up quickly.

distribution

For 2016 SourceForge counted around 130,000 downloads of the release images per month on average. Manjaro was featured on the cover discs of issues 167 and 172 of the English magazine Linux Format . Manjaro is number one of the most popular Linux distributions of 2018 on DistroWatch .

criticism

In a blog post, Keith Curtis criticizes the fact that the Arch repositories are duplicated for minor changes to the code and suggests that users should be allowed to use the Arch repositories in order to avoid a lock-in effect . Your own wiki pages could also find a place in the Arch-Wiki. Allan McRae, who u. a. pacman maintains for Arch Linux , praises the faster update strategy for security gaps since the end of 2014.

Publication table

From version 0.8.0 each version has its own code name. The code names follow the alphabet, but their origin cannot always be clearly assigned, even if some names are derived from celestial bodies.

Manjaro Xfce 17.1.0 Gellivara comes with Manjaro's own dark theme and the current Xfce 4.12. The standard kernel has been updated to linux49 4.9 LTS, the Xorg stack to the 1.19 series.

Manjaro KDE

Manjaro KDE 17.1.0 Gellivara comes with Manjaro's own dark KDE theme as well as the current KDE Plasma 5.11.5, KDE Apps 16.12.3 and the KDE Framework 5.31.0. The standard kernel has been updated to linux49 4.9 LTS, the Xorg stack to the 1.19 series.

Manjaro NET

Manjaro NET is the console-based Net installation that installs either Manjaro’s official or community editions. The user can also select additional packages to be installed in advance. All packages are downloaded in their latest versions during installation.

Manjaro Community Editions

  • Screenshot of Manjaro 17.0 Cinnamon Edition

  • Screenshot of Manjaro 17.0 i3 Edition

There are a number of community editions:

  • Budgie Edition
  • Cinnamon Edition
  • Deepin Edition
  • Enlightenment Edition
  • Fluxbox Edition
  • I3 edition
  • LXDE / LXqt Edition
  • MATE Edition
  • OpenBox Edition
  • OpenRC Edition
  • PekWM Edition

For example, OpenRC was started in June 2014 as a Community Edition by Manjaro with the aim of doing without systemd . ConsoleKit2 is used instead of logind and eudev instead of systemd-udev; some systemd libraries are bundled in the eudev-systemdcompat package.

Since July 2017, Manjaro OpenRC no longer exists in this form, but is being further developed as a fork by ArchLinux under the name Artix Linux .

In addition, we are working on ARM-based operating systems with Manjaro ARM and Manjaro Phosh (smartphone).

Derivatives

Artix

Artix is a distribution that grew out of Manjaro OpenRC. It is based on openRC init and not systemd , which is the case by default in Manjaro and the higher-level Arch Linux.

Netrunner Rolling

Netrunner Rolling is a distribution distributed by the German software company Blue Systems . Snapshots have been available for installation since 2014. On October 13, 2019, the makers of this project announced that they would no longer pursue it, but would work directly on Manjaro Linux.

Sonar GNU / Linux

The Sonar GNU / Linux project aims to provide an accessible distribution; the two desktops Gnome and Mate are supported. The first version was published in February 2015, the current and final version was published in 2016.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Quoted here from Manjaro Linux now also with KDE and Gnome. heise.de, September 4, 2013, accessed on November 30, 2013 : "Manjaro Linux lowers the entry barrier for Arch Linux with graphical tools and a pre-installed graphical user interface, thus making the Linux distribution accessible to a wider range of users."
  2. ^ Liane M. Dubowy. Not a gram too much. In c't - Magazin für Computertechnik , 24/2013, p. 168. Quote: “Closer to Arch Linux [than Chakra Linux ] are Manjaro and Antergos , who also have an installation assistant, a desktop surface and graphic tools ready, but they do use the same package base as Arch Linux. "
