    Distro testing! I've written a review of Manjaro 20.2 Nibla Plasma edition, tested in a triple-boot configuration on a laptop with AMD processor and Vega 8 graphics, including live session, installation, post-install usage and tweaks, look and feel, ergonomics, fonts, fractional HD display scaling, Samba connectivity, printing, multimedia playback, audio quality, boot speed, network speed, performance, resource utilization, power management, battery life, stability, various bugs and niggles, some other observations, and more. Enjoy.

    Mellifluous news to my ears, Mrk

    Hope it's a fruitful relationship between you two.

    This. I'd always go for Kubuntu over Manjaro.

    I agree. Why do people install the likes of Manjaro and Endeavour and keep posting in the forums when things go wrong? Fair enough if you've got the time to sort it and whatever data you have isn't critical but it all seems a bit masochistic for home and certainly business users.

    And the number of active masochists, including myself, keeps growing, at least according to distrowatch.com
