    Please carve out a slice of yer time for this super-long, detailed review of Manjaro 18.0.4 Illyria Plasma edition, tested in a dual-boot configuration on a laptop with Nvidia graphics, covering two separate live sessions and installations with free and nonfree drivers respectively, plus post-install usage and tweaks, including network support - Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing and printing, multimedia support - HD video and MP3 playback, smartphone support - Android, iPhone and Windows Phone, partitioning, home directory re-use, package management and updates, AUR and extra software, applications, hardware compatibility - Nvidia drivers out of the box, connectivity issues with Broadcom drivers, suspend & resume glitch, Spectre glitch, performance and responsiveness, resource usage, customization, various visual problems and niggles, other observations, and more. Lots of text and some 50 lovely screenshots. Enjoy.

    I did enjoy the read, Manjaro KDE has been my pet for almost 3 years now and still get butterflies when I get my machine updated with new goodies from their team.

    Mrk, bookmark the flavour of our beloved linux in this manifestation and form ;)
