Distro Monday 32: Arch Vs Manjaro, What is the Difference?

DM 32.1: Linux 6.0 Kernel now available in Arch iso
All the goodness of Linux 6.0 prepackaged for Arch. Not much to say here. If you download it from the Arch website now, it is what you will get by default now. If you were already running Arch, you will already be on 6.0 by default. This is so that anyone who downloads it will have the benefits of the 6.0 kernel. All you need to do to make sure that you are up to date is to periodically run sudo pacman –Syu. It really is that simple in Arch and other distros based on it which run the Arch repositories.

DM 32.3: Arch Vs Manjaro – What’s the Difference?
Arch is one of the Big Three Linux Distributions, the other two being Red Hat and Debian. These are the Big Three in the Linux world. That means that these are some of the most consequential of the built-from-scratch distributions out there. Arch is about 20 years old, and is built on the KISS method (Keep It Simple, Stupid). It is a bare-bones option that allows you to build your Linux the way you want, but you have to know what you are doing. The reason for that is that sometimes if you look at an Arch build funny, it can break.

Manjaro is based on Arch, but think of it as Arch with training wheels. It is meant to be Arch simplicity, plus user-friendliness. GUI-based tweaking tools, and a pre-done desktop, with any of the main desktop environments out there, from KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and a handful of window managers as well.

Manjaro is far easier to install, offering a GUI installer based on the Calamares Installer, where Arch is entirely command-line based installer. Manjaro is just like almost any other mainline distribution, with Arch, you have to understand it all and walk through each step. However, in doing that, you will have full control of your system and understand your system far more than you would using say, Manjaro.

Being based on Arch, which is a rolling release model, Manjaro is as well. Manjaro adds extra layers of testing to add greater stability to the Arch base. Arch is bleeding edge in terms of new packages, and does have an unstable branch to do preliminary testing with brand new packages when they are submitted by their respective developers. All of Manjaro’s extra testing should make it more stable than its Arch base, but it doesn’t actually do that.

The AUR, which I mentioned last Tuesday, is the thing that sets Arch apart from the rest of the Linux world, including Manjaro, by default, at any rate. It provides just about any package available, maintained by users worldwide, but these are not guaranteed by the Arch team, and can cause greater instability in your system. This article states that Arch is roughly as stable as Manjaro, however, it isn’t. Unless you are a major tinkerer and have the patience to learn how to install and configure Arch by hand, I do not recommend it it for new users in the least. Manjaro, however, as it is far easier to install and use, I encourage people to check out all of the time. That is not to say that it doesn’t have its own set of issues and problems, though. However, that is not within the scope of this piece.
