I'm new to Linux - decided to get Manjaro but I can't

Install Gentoo. And also don't use GNOME 3, because it sucks.

XFCE with Compton

I'm running Manjaro Gnome as my desktop OS and love it.

>>61614952
The xfce one is a full DE, simple and just werks. If you want something even faster and keyboard oriented and you don't mind handling with some config files try the i3wm version. Or install Gentoo.

>decided to get manjaro
why'd you do that

>>61614952
I3 or another tiling windows manager of your choice.

>>61614952
i3 is already in a nice community image

>>61614952
xfce if you want to be a normie about it

i3 is best

what about KDE

>>61616253
Suggesting i3 to a beginner who will give up and go back to botnet os
Good idea

>>61614952
I tried installing Manjaro and it wouldn't fucking install grub right for some reason. Yet if I boot the installation media, choose the option to check for EFI loaders or something, then I can load grub from there.

>>61614952
Don't listen to the basement dwellers ITT, i3 would be a terrible choice for beginners.
I would personally recommend MATE, it's the most basic, down to earth and complete DE around. To get it just install the mate and mate-extra groups.

protip - ditch manjaro
second - use gnome

XFCE for sure. It's ugly as fuck but it does exactly what it says on the box.

>>61617822
it's got a HUGE amount of options which makes it a bit of a bloat.. also it's ugly as fuck

>>61619905
it's ugly if you make it to look ugly

>>61618934
i like you

Could someone explain me this manjaro meme? How do those retards that run this shit convince people to use it?

>>61614952
Xfce is more efficient, Gnome is prettier.
I3 is the Most efficient though

Easy to install, more stabile than arch, Access to AUR.Whats your Problem with it?

>>61620031
It's ugly if you do nothing to make it look good

>Gnome is prettier
Such a retard!
Just end yourself anon. Don't made me kill you.

Manjaro i3 is fairly beginner friendly. It was the first distro i used for more than an hour without hating. Been using it for 6 months now.

Enlightenment is the only DE on Linux worth using.

Gnome is good if you install a dock, or another panel

both suck, xfce sucks less but is abandonware

>>61614952
Xfce is light, simple and straightforward, but looks a bit old and ugky unless heavily tweaked.

Gnome can be buggy sometimes.

I use xfce. Gets the job done
