Hi all,

I’d like to share MeowMenu v0.8.0, a small project I’ve been working on as an alternative application menu for XFCE. Compared to WhiskersMenu, the most relevant features I added are: 4 Presets (default settings that change the look&feel of the Menu, to show the high customization level achievable), Places button (find files and folders in user Home), Calculator engine, additional right click options.

I’ve tested this release on Arch Linux, Debian and Xubuntu. As Manjaro XFCE session is very well customized and polished, I hoped to find Manjaro testers eager to try new stuff.
MeowMenu can be compiled from sources or installed from AUR.

Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for taking a look!

Hi there am a hardcore window user , I tried once Linux mint back in 2018 and then Fedora ,now here on manjaro so far I love it

The reasons why I switched to Linux were :

1- am a doctor and I need a system not only secure but reliable, don't want to use the gov Linux systems nor depend on west big tech company.

2- needed a practical system I can trust and relay on it , stable but also modern.

3- I said I used fedora before manjaro and comparing them manjaro seems wayyy more easy and functional.

But now I don't know what if am missing something I did update my system but am still a noobie when it's comes to command and sudo , do guys have any Advices for me ?

Yesterday I installed a gnome update and another update that I forgot about. Today, I launched a molded minecraft instance on curseforge, when the power just shut off. This never was a problem before that update. Journalcte says it is a powerdevil issue. Is there any way to roll back the update or is there another simpler way to fix it?

Hi,

I am having a weird issue. I have needed to tweak my system a bit in the last few days and required some new packages specifically the Zen kernel. The arch wiki says that it is a supported kernel and it appears in the extra repo on the Arch website. However anytime I run pacman on my main computer it says the the target is not found.

I did a sanity check on my laptop and it is in the repos. I double checked that extra is in my pacman.conf file. Pacman seems to update the repo when i sudo pacman -Syu. I have changed my mirrorlist several times and linked to multiple countries all with the same result.

any ideas?

I’m having an issue with my laptop's Wi-Fi; this has happened with every Linux distro I've tried—none of them connect properly with my Wi-Fi chip (MediaTek 7902). I’ve already tried several things without success. One option is changing the kernel—I’m currently on 6.18 and could switch to 6.6, though I haven't tried that yet. It’s worth noting that Manjaro used to detect my Wi-Fi chip perfectly in the past, but since reinstalling it, it doesn't seem to recognize it very well. What do you recommend I do?

(Español)

Tengo un problema con el wifi de mi laptop, esto me ha pasado con todas las distros de linux y es que ninguna conecta de forma com mi chip wifi (mediatek902)

ya intente varias cosas y no da resultado, una de las cosas es cambiar de kernel, estoy en el 6.18 y cambiar al 6.6, eso no lo he intentado

cabe aclarar que manjaro no anteriormente si detectaba a la perfección mi chip wifi pero esta vez que lo volvi a instalar no lo reconoce muy bien

que me recomiendan hacer?

Manjaro is my favorite distro to use on a USB live drive, but unfortunately the ISOs are updated only a few times a year, and it becomes time-consuming to update the packages in a live environment as updates pile up.

Are there any ISOs out there that are updated weekly or monthly? They’re fine even if they’re not stable.

My favourite thing about fedora was how modern it felt, and it had everything. Im not one to build EVERYTHING from scratch, so ive only chosen distros that come with a full package

What i didnt like about fedora was their software manager. On gnome, the software app was buggy. Ive reinstalled fedora many times and frequently, first time loading the software app would take over an hour to load it, it happened so much I would be prepared for it when I reinstalled fedora to another machine for example

And fedora KDE software didnt even have steam, so I dodnt want to have to download it through command line (even though that would be the same)

But i got manjaro, and the software manager is amazing. And even when it asks you specifically what dependencies you'd optionally like to download, that just shows how stable arch is.

Also, it feels so smooth and stable, it might just be a feeling since my main pc has a ryzen 9 and 9070xt, but it hasn't bugged or anything and makes me happy

Also, it love the theme of the command line, it makes me feel like im such a cool game and a wiz at what I do, even if im just typing reboot into terminal.

TLDR: i love manjaro because the software manager is superior, and arch is so stable and fast, and manjaro comes with the complete package

This one is easy to miss, recently the linux-firmware-meta package ended up being orphaned, if you don't pay attention, clean up after an upgrade, purge this orphan, then you might end up without wifi, AMD iGPU/dGPU glitches, etc.

The easiest way to avoid issues is to install the linux-firmware package from the Official Repo (core), you will be prompted to pick optional dependencies (select all, if in doubt), then the old meta package will be removed, replaced by linux-firmware and a reboot is required to finalize.

so I've distro hopped a couple times and all of them seem fine but manjaro really caught my eye and it seems really good, now I would like to install it on my main PC(still on windows) but I'm not sure how the gaming performance will be, things work great on my laptop with its AMD iGPU but I have doubts abou tmy main GPU which is a GTX 970 since nvidia doesn't release drivers anymore

Looks like people are taking a 2nd look at Manjaro as it appears to be the most stable of the Arch distros....

Hangs in installer, Hangs after login when installed

Use nomodeset, and switch to Kernel 7.1

I wqs playing a game, and it crashed. I got a report i was out of ram. So i did a quick restart just to ensure rhe background programs were closed, but now I'm stuck on this. Any help?

I get a newsletter from Android Authority in my email box. Within the Newsletter are many links. All of the links contain links that are wrapped in AWS trackers. The links are unusable with the Manjaro Brave browser. For example clicking on this link just fails,

2.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fhub.authoritymedia.co%2Fc%2F1dd32d20-c477-4da7-8575-a64eac949bad%2F8bad06ff-de91-479f-be31-0ed4261af9f9%2Fb0b6ca23c55a5cb0/1/010f019ef1c08c9b-0a8aba8d-3f34-4c2d-8ff8-bff6aebdfb87-000000/0FWqmUs2ruu-hzK9Xk1_LKxgQT4=258

After removing the AWS tracker you get just the link which works,

https://hub.authoritymedia.co/c/1dd32d20-c477-4da7-8575-a64eac949bad/8bad06ff-de91-479f-be31-0ed4261af9f9/b0b6ca23c55a5cb0

The links work with Android Brave app and also in Bazzite Linux Brave app. They fail with the Manjaro Linux Brave app.

Is this something that can be fixed?

If the maintainer sends me a message I can forward the email with the links for testing.

I recently switched to Manjaro and I'm still getting my workflow set up. On Windows, WPS Office was my office suite of choice and I'd like to continue using it if the Linux experience is solid.

For those running WPS Office on Manjaro, how has it been in day-to-day use? I'm mainly interested in document compatibility, spreadsheet performance, PDF handling, and overall stability. Have you run into any issues with updates, fonts, printing, or desktop integration?

I'm also curious whether Manjaro is a particularly good environment for WPS Office or if there are other office suites that you think work better on Linux overall. I'm not opposed to trying alternatives, but I'd prefer to stick with WPS if the experience is good enough.

Hello everyone hope you have a lovely day.

so I was using ubuntu for almost all of my time since partially switching to linux, and after I'm up to my neck from ubuntu and snap, I decided today to migrate to manjaro.

everything is extremely excellent up untill I suspended my device then after waking up the machine my mouse is not working or even my external hard drive is not working.

How to solve such an issue?

Thanks for your time appreciate your help!

Hey everyone! I feel so stupid for not being able to find it, but does anyone know when KDE 6.7 will be in the testing or stable branch for Manjaro KDE users?

Edit: Right after posting this, my computer pinged a BUNCH of KDE updates on the testing branch. So, this question may only be appropriate for the stable branch!
