    A new week is upon us. How about a long, detailed review of Manjaro 18.1.0 Juhraya Cinnamon edition, tested in an eight-boot Windows and Linux environment on a laptop with UEFI, 16 partitions and Intel graphics, covering live session, installation and post-install usage, including look & feel, fonts, network connectivity - Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing, printing, multimedia - HD video and MP3 playback, smartphone support - Android, iPhone and Windows Phone, partitioning and setup, package management and updates, extra software via AUR and bauh, applications, hardware compatibility, suspend & resume, performance and responsiveness, resource usage, customization, other observations, and more. Take a look.

    Thanks for the review. Cinnamon on an Arch base is a tasty combination.
    I'm with you on the pale fonts issue :mad: and Cinnamon is terrible in that particular. There's a Cinnamon specific theme that's better than usual with fonts contrast and quite pleasant overall:
