Manjaro KDE Plasma

 Plasma is good, 

Dolphin FIle Browser & Kate Text Editor is good

 But takes wee bit longer for Firefox to load and get ready to accept key strokes.

 

So, It will be XFCE 4.20 for me (i3 & Hyprland !!)  

 

I hope the broken Arch Packages Sob Story of Oct to Dec 2026 will not haunt me.

 

I just could not install both VLC Player and Google Chrome on Manjaro between Oct to Dec 2025... I had screwed up LC trying to make it run video's from thunar root/other partitions.... 

 

The pain of installing VLC drove me to test Omarchy, Debian, Xubuntu.....

 

Well.... 

single boot Manjaro with KDE Plasma .... somehow, Plasma on 4 GB RAM + Intel i3  Processor is pretty slow compared to xfce..

Update:  February 15... I couldn't stand kde plasma.. overwrote kde plasma with Fresh install of Manjaro xfce

manjaro screwed up grub & Ubuntu not booting

manjaro has screwed grub ..  Ubuntu isn't booting .. able to use root in Ubuntu recovery journalctl shows every single service failing ... i used etcher to write Manjaro boot disk.. that isn't working. I tried to write Ubuntu ISO on it but that USB is being seen by etcher or Rufus or .. as only 512 mb USB .. . don't know how to get myself out of this.    Update Aug 2025: Manjaro 25 is a Breeze to install, just works...

moved to debian Dec 13 2025 -moved out Jan 4 2026

Debian Linux 13 Moved to it Debian, it was always a Dream ...  Since I could not install Arch (it simply did not detect Hard Disk .....), wanted to move to Debian. I wanted to create lots of gifs/mp4 of Kannadiga's on tenor.com I need a light Linux Distro, but with XFCE :)  Installed Debian 13 with XFCE without any flavours   Found below things that pained me during Debian Install  Connecting Mobile Phone, selecting transfer USB files in mobile Phone.. The Phone won't get detected in Thunar or Thunar Root. Just won't show up. ery painful sudo apt-get install mtp-tools and gmptp   too won't help. sudo apt install gvfs-backends  sudo cp ~/image.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/ vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf   <Nothing to do here> sudo vim /etc/default/grub  Add this line GRUB_BACKGROUND="/home/m/anna-aane.png" sudo update-grub
