Manjaro Linux rolling

Description

Manjaro Linux is an Arch-based rolling distribution that combines continuously updated repositories with graphical installation and administration tools. Official KDE Plasma, Xfce and GNOME images are complemented by community editions for additional desktop environments and window managers.

Who is Manjaro Linux for?

Manjaro Linux is primarily suited to people moving from Windows or trying Linux for the first time; daily desktop use, study, web browsing and productivity. Its rolling-release model delivers changes continuously, so regular updates and attention to project announcements are part of normal maintenance. This distribution is based on arch, which influences package formats, repositories and much of the available documentation. The listed desktop environment is KDE Plasma, Xfce and GNOME; confirm its memory, graphics and accessibility requirements on the official project site. The best choice depends on hardware support, preferred software, update policy and the amount of system administration the user wants to perform.

Before installing

Read the release notes and installation guide before downloading. Select an image that matches the processor architecture and intended use: desktop, server, live media, virtual machine or another published edition. Test Wi-Fi, graphics, audio, storage and suspend from live media when that option is available. Back up important files before repartitioning, encryption changes or dual-boot installation. Download from an official project page or mirror, compare the published SHA-256 checksum, and verify a signed checksum when the project provides one. After installation, apply updates before adding third-party repositories or drivers.
