What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
BL is pretty solid, kind of your middle of the road not especially stand out at anything distro, it gets the job done but inherits issues of Manjaro, there’s better out there, but for general use BL is alright.
What issues with Manjaro are you referring to?
Performance is an issue, it doesn’t run as well as some other distros I’ve used such as Ultramarine or Q4OS, and all distros I’ve used so far seem to have horrible SSD performance when comparing results with Windows using the same drives. If a Linux distro has ever felt sluggish to you, thats why.
Please provide evidence to support your claim re Manjaro
I’ve been using Manjaro for years, SSD performance is the same as other major distros. And disk benchmarks are the same as under Windows.
Sounds more like an issue at your end.
