In fact, I contacted Linux is not a short time, the first during a college student, first contact with RedHat, and then start using Ubuntu, later came into contact with a lot of Ubuntu derivative version, such as Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Deepin etc. in addition to the on RedHat and CentOS server, I used basically the Department of Debian, Ubuntu recent years has been felt too bloated, especially for some old hardware support is not good, in the GNOME desktop environment, a lot of dynamic the effect can not be achieved, the video is even more common.

Until some time ago come into contact with Manjaro, only to find the original with the next Linux can be so easy to use. Manjaro based on Arch Linux is a derivative version, inherited the rollover of Arch Linux, AUR repositories, etc., extremely easy to upgrade the kernel, and has a wealth of the latest software resources. For me, Manjaro like that does not require complex configuration Arch Linux, it has a nice interface and good performance, as an everyday desktop no problem.

Manjaro have a lot of common version of the desktop environment, such as XFCE, KDE, GNOME, etc., which I have used several versions, like most versions of KDE, computer performance if possible, is strongly recommended to install this version, if it is many years ago computer , or use XFCE better, this version of the small footprint, my laptop is to install XFCE version, the interface is also possible, desktop computers installed the Win7 + Manjaro dual system.
