I have just installed Manjaro Linux for a few days, and loved it.

<ul>
<li>Xfce is the default desktop environment</li>
<li>GRUB more beautiful by default</li>
<li>Proprietary drivers are no hassle</li>
<li>Even deciding the partitions, or swap, is no hassle. (But it chose ext4 rather than btrfs.)</li>
</ul>

The last time I tried several distros was some ten years ago, like OpenSuSE, Fedora, Sabayon, Elementary, but never Arch or Manjaro.

I also noticed several different things

<ul>
<li>
<code>pacman</code> instead of <code>apt</code> / <code>apt-get</code>
</li>
<li>AUR git repositories: I started with <code>pamac</code>, but later learnt about <code>yay</code>.</li>
<li>I found <a href="https://community.chakralinux.org/t/how-to-use-pacman-to-search-for-install-upgrade-and-uninstall-packages/7205">this guide</a>.</li>
</ul>

Otherwise, I can install all I wanted.
