I was thinking about getting Manjaro XFCE for my low end laptop to game, but then saw some posts talking about it being buggy?!. I really do not mind how it looks or how easy it is to setup. I kinda like the long setup process anyway. If all I cared about was performance and stability, do you think I should go with Arch instead of Manjaro? If yes, is XFCE perfectly fine or should I mess around with i3 or KDE?

Been playing around with the HM50 from minisform that I got on Ebay around a month ago. PC was never used, just open box condition. Took out the preinstalled SSD that had windows 10 and put a 500gb Samsung evo nvme ssd with Linux Mint preinstalled on it from my UM350. All was good until my keyboard stopped working. I unplugged it from the rear usb, to the front usb. No issues at all. Same with my mouse. It appears the rear USB ports stop working after 10 or so minutes. I disabled USB legacy support in the bios, thinking that was the issue, but it still bugs out. I then installed Manjaro over Mint, thinking Mint might be the issue, but again, rear ports stop working after awhile. What could be this issue? While in BIOS, this issues never happens, so it has to be something software related correct? Typing lsusb shows that the drivers for my logitech keyboard and mouse are loaded and running properly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm on Manjaro with kde, and I was really happy to see that 99% of the things I need to daily is available and sometimes easier to do than on windows. League id the only thing that really holds me back, because that is the only game that everyone in my friend group plays, so we play together and have a chat daily there. First, I installed lutris (from pacman not github, not sure if there is a difference) and followed the install guide, with closing the client before logging in and all. Didn't work. Then I found this guide with snap and starting it with --devmode. Didn't work either. After that I said f*ck it and found a guide to compile it myself, as you can guess didn't work either. The thing is it’s the same problem 3 times. The launcher loads in, I log in, there is a screen to choose what riot game to launch, then screen where there is a clip playing and on the bottom left corner a blue start button. I click on the button, the window disappeared except a small piece from the middle (a freeze frame from the video playing, like a centre 9th), then there is nothing happening, I waited 30 mins once, nothing. There is a riot games logo on the right of the system tray, if I click on it the launch window comes back up, the one with the blue start button, however the button is greyed out and can't click on it. I have no idea what to do, not even what troubleshooting steps to make. The only thing that now came to me as I was writing this is I updated the kernel and as I'm on an arch based distro, it might not have been a good idea. I would be glad if someone could confirm a kernel version where league works.

Last month, I needed to use my father's laptop to do online school. I realised some of the programs i need wasnt supported on windows 7. So I switch to Windows 10 but it was sooo slow, booting up will take 5mins and opening browser will somtimes even crash the pc. My little brother gave me this awesome idea to use linux, and i never regretted it all my programs run smoothly. But there was one issue I may have screwed up the deleting process of windows 10 every time i turn on my pc G-rub will show up and i would choose manjaro or windows7 but when i choose windows 7 there will be a blue screen and i have to press F9 boot to windows 7. This is extremely annoying and i want it gone. Thank you for reading this very messy text. U attached an image of the blue screen.

So I got a new 1tb crucial m.2 ssd. I've installed it into my pc, and even installed linux manjaro onto it. However my Gigabyte ga-ax370-gaming motherboard just wont boot into it. The worst part is I know it recognizes it, it just says its offline. So can anyone please help me with this edit: I have no idea what I did but it worked

This could be an easy fix but searching for Solutions Online is an absolute Pain in the Butt. Speedtest reports a 3600ms ping(consistent thru several tests) and an Up and Download rate less than 1Mbps(I have a 200Mbps line). I already renewed my IP address from the DHCP server but no luck. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. I Dual Boot Windows and have no problems getting full speed there.

I recently installed Manjaro on my computer (inspired by the linux challenge) and I am having an issue that is consistant across other distros as well (previously tried Ubuntu and Fedora). Two of my three monitors are working and being detected, but the third, which is usually my primary display will not even be detected by the system, and this was a problem on every other distro as well. I know this is a problem with linux because the motherboard splash screen shows up on this primary display after post. I have an XFX RX590 and a Ryzen 2600. I think I have the correct drivers installed (video-linux) based on the fact that others said nobody should have to download the proprietary AMD drivers.

While this is obviously not a gaming laptop, I'm updating it with an extra SSD 2TB for just a couple of games in order to isolate (Linux e.g. Manjaro or Pop! OS) game stuff from (Windows) work stuff. It's going to be mostly strategy games, so nothing heavier than 50gb -combined- at most. I've seen different reviews. What do you think?

I hope I'm on the right sub-forum. Hi, I'm attempting to run Manjaro in Hyper-V, but it refuses to boot. It keeps giving me an error: Could not initiate memory: Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation. (0x8007000E). Here's a screenshot of the error with the Task Manager. I've already tried lowering my RAM to 1024MB, but it still won't run. Here's a screenshot of my settings. Here are my specs: Thinkpad T14 Gen 1 BIOS: N2XET29W (1.19) Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1083) i5-10210U 1 x 16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz 256GB NVMe SSD Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So I've got Manjaro KDE running, and for some reason, none of my apps recognize controllers. The System Settings and AntiMicroX recognize them, and they also work on Cemu via Wine, but Native Linux apps I've tried out (PCSX2 and Dolphin Emulator) don't recognize any controller. I have noticed that there appears to be a number of critical background programs that are missing from AUR. Proton-GE has dependencies that currently won't install. Anyone having these same issues, and is there any way to get linux to recognize the dualsense touchpad?

Hello .. Me again .. Nayr438 - Soz I didnt reply in the old thread, but TLDR, it gave the same result n my head blew up n I had to leave it for a month Anyhow on to the current issue... Guess what .. its the same one ... Current setup - I5 2500, R9 290, 16Gb RAM, Manjaro KDE installed, Still on 5.9 Kernel due to a time-shift rollback ( I buggered the GRUB just b4 this post with too much desperate tinkering ) .. Anyhow .. This time somehow I have "vulkan" working using I assume the updated Radeon drivers, I can get vxcube running and get no errors when I "vulkaninfo" it .. But I cannot get any dx11 Proton games working in steam ... I can get a few working via wine .. but would prefer to use the amdgpu-pro driver so that I can use Proton to its full abilities for "my GPU". So AFAIK I have all the required drivers installed and I am back to where I was b4 I messed up the GRUB ... Current installed drivers are - My Issue is that when I Follow the Archwiki guide .... Whatever I do """" always"""" ends in a totally blackscreen where I cannot even access the tty2 screen to fix my errors. ... I have made sure > - Made sure amdgpu has been set as first module in the Mkinitcpio#MODULES (I only wrote amdgpu in the modules tho?) - Set module parameters in kernel command line both in the amdgpu.conf & radeon.conf file - Make sure modconf is in the the HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate the initramfs ( I believe this covers the "Early KMS start" bit too ) - Made sure the "Install the amdgpu-pro-libglAUR. Optionally install the lib32-amdgpu-pro-libglAUR package for 32-bit application support." are installed - Even tried the last fix on this site that has the same Issue as me but with 390`s - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/1222 - And this ... Yet - Everytime I get a blackscreen on boot. However .. If I edit /etc/modprobe.d/amdgpu.conf to options amdgpu si_support=0 options amdgpu cik_support=1 ... It does allow me to boot with nomodeset & get the tty2, so I can revert it If I select any other option from any guide I have found .. I get total black screen with "" no chance "" of the TTY2 screen. I read on another site that 1 dude believed that the GDM was loading b4 the amdgpu driver .. I dont totally understand what hes trying to say re: the fix, so have not tried it yet, but it could be a option as nothing else is working https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/kx8mam/radeon_loads_fine_cant_get_amdgpu_to_load_on_gcn/https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/kx8mam/radeon_loads_fine_cant_get_amdgpu_to_load_on_gcn/ Here are some random screenshots via my adventures of trying to get the amdgpu driver to boot 1st (Just in case they help) .. But Im at a bit of a loss as what to try next considering I cant use the wiki anymore Long post but would rather give as much info as poss to fix this issue ... Other people have it working with a "very" similar setup .. So it "should" work on mine too ... But for the life of me .. I cannot Anyone

My linux laptop can't get past this screen. Will not boot to desktop

Hi, I just installed Manjaro gnome one day ago and it got stuck at a black screen with no cursor or any display at all, i tried opening the TTY but that didn’t work too, no command prompt appears, then after several forced shutdowns, it booted normally. Then when i rebooted it, it went back to the same problem, the system boots up because i can activate airplane mode and caps lock, even when i hit Fn+F1 which is for sleep mode, the pc goes to sleep mode. I tried replacing “quiet” With "3" In the grub menu but still, nothing worked I repeat, TTY won’t open up as well. I installed the proprietary Nvidia and Intel drivers during installation. Thanks in advanced

I recently built a friend a pc, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/2024jrb1/saved/9LrPFT, and long story short, their house was not wired for ethernet and the motherboard had no wireless card. They have manjaro linux, and they ordered a netgear wifi card (a7000), but it would not work with drivers. They are sending it back, but in the meantime, what is a good wifi 6 card (bluetooth is a +), that will work reliably on manjaro? I have seen some good things about cards with the intel ax200 chip, but wanted to check with y'all on the best thing to get. I liked the look of this TP link card, and it has the intel chipset. Is this good? What about the intel NVME one? https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Bluetooth-Ultra-Low-Archer-TX3000E/dp/B07ZV2CJL2/ https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wi-Fi-Gig-Desktop-AX200-NGWG-NV/dp/B085M7VPDP/

I installed Manjaro Linux on one of my drives, but now my Windows installation on a completely different drive won't boot or even show up in the boot order on my BIOS (my motherboard is a Asrock B450 Pro4 btw), I can go into linux fine and I can see the Windows files on my drive, but can't boot into them. What should I do?

I installed CoreCtrl, hoping to tweak my system performance a little, and while the options for my graphics card show up as they should, they don't for my CPU: I've read that this is caused by MSI motherboards having the "Cool 'n' Quiet" BIOS option disabled, however my B550M MAG Mortar does not have that feature in the first place. What can I do to fix this? I'm running Manjaro 20.2.

I was following someordinarygamers guide to setting up a gaming vm and iommu isnt working. Is my mobo or cpu? Btw i have a ryzen 5 3600x and an asrock b550 pro4 mobo. Any help on the matter would be appreciated thanks

My cpu normally runs around 1.1-1.7Ghz at idle, but when I open Warframe and get in-game, the clock drops to 798Mhz (minimum frequency) and stays there until it really needs to go up, which causes stuttering and lag, super annoying. The cpu temps are fine, sitting around 60-70C, so its not a thermal issue, I have tried Proton 5.21-GE-1 as well as 4.2-9 (Proton GE and 4.2-9 are the only two that work with Warframe) they both have the same issue, although Proton GE also makes frames appear to load out of order, giving a shaky feel to the game, making it unplayable. The only cpu related software I have installed is Corectrl, in which I have tried every cpu frequency governor and they all give the same result. Specs: Intel Core i7-4600u Intel HD 4400 HP Elitebook Revolve 810 G2 OS Info: Manjaro KDE 20.2 Kernel 5.10.2-2 64-bit I just want to make it clear that this issue ONLY occurs in Warframe, no other game, and that the cpu is NOT overheating, it sits around 60-70C under load. This issue appears to be very rare from what I can tell, no one on ProtonDB has this issue in Warframe, so I am assuming it is not specifically due to the game and is being affected by something else, but again, this issue does only appear in Warframe, no other games or apps. The graph shows the cpu clock, as you can see it drops down to minimum when warframe opens

After months of using this build, rebooting randomly broke something. After powering off and then powering on at the wall for something else (I'm using an extension with a couple of things connected), my motherboard's onboard bluetooth isn't working at all. I can reinstall bluez and use it via: sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils sudo modprobe btusb sudo systemctl start bluetooth sudo systemctl enable bluetooth ...but my Xbox controller isn't being recognised when I attempt to pair it. I have not performed any updates recently and this has never happened before. My motherboard is an MSI B550 Mag Mortar, and I'm running Manjaro 20.1.1 on the 5.8.11-1 kernel.

We will be running a speed test on various distros running Gnome. Finding the best preforming Linux distribution is a difficult thing to do. There are so many factors when trying to figure this out. The most important variable is what desktop environment you want to run. Gnome is one of the most popular desktop environments today as it comes pre-installed on many Linux distributions. We will run some general speed tests and benchmarking to see if there are any performance differences to consider. We will be comparing the performance of Ubuntu 20.10, Pop!_OS 20.04, Manjaro 20.1.1, and Fedora 32. Later, we will add benchmarking for Fedora 33 and Pop!_OS with an updated Kernel. Benchmark Devices: ThinkPad: Lenovo ThinkPad T450, i5-5300U, 8gb DDR3, 256gb SSD Desktop: Asus x570-p, Ryzen 7 3700x, 32gb DDR4, 256gb SSD, GTX 1650 General Speed Testing All of these general speed tests were done on the ThinkPad. Overall all systems were really close when it comes to speed, but there were noticeable advantages with both Pop!_OS and Manjaro.

Hi, Using Manjaro KDE 5.24.5 After a recent system update I go this issue https://github.com/flathub/com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects/issues/64 As you can tell from the answer I received the modules that are causing the issue have nothing to do with pulse so I tried removing the modules but cannot as 1 is used with timeshift (xapp) and the other is used with gnome-disk-utility (canberra) programs. I do not wish to delete these programs. How can I stop pulse from trying to use these modules so this error goes away? Also on the same post I received advice on how to make it run in the back ground, but Im not to sure where to place this command? If I try and edit the application > command .. by adding "--gapplication-service" to the end, I get a error "Could not save properties due to insufficient write access to: ‘/home/rob/.local/share/applications/com.github.wwmm.pulseeffects.desktop’." Im a little stuck .. Any ideas?

So I'm trying to set up an old HP tablet for discord calls but I'm running into a issue where pulseaudio fails to start and therefore no audio recording or playback works on the system. tablet is an HP X2 something with an Intel Atom x5-Z8350, there's a Blue snowball USB mic connected. OS is Manjaro 21.2.4 (minimal XFCE) with (I think) everything up to date (I ran pacman -Syu). pulseaudio --start just returns: E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. I attached the log from running pulseaudio -v I'm not very experienced with linux but I did try disabling some suggested options in the /etc/pulse/defalut.pa file (bluetooth and auto-device switching). I'm also tried reinstalling pulseaudio via pacman and clearing all the configs in ~/.config/pulse/ It might be related to an update that was installed, it worked initially but after installing discord, connecting the mic and running pacman -Syu it has stopped working. pulseaudio.log

@peotr26 I don't want to hijack that thread so I make a new one. Yes I have Cuda installed. When I set encoder to HEVC in OBS Studio, It greet me with this message when I click Start Recording/Streaming. vdpauinfo show me HEVC is not supported. First I thought my 980 Ti don't support HEVC but It work fine in Windows.

Oh my god I can do center spacing why TMW LTT Forum has a 10000X better writing system, thanks vbulletin Alright enough screwing around. I have a 2012 MBP that is absolutely maxed the hell out and I love it. I just got it and I've legit never been happier. ----------------------------------------- Specs: Intel i7 3820QM 4c8t 8mbL3 4XL2 16GB Ram @ 1600 Intel HD4400 + Nvidia GT650M (compares to my desktop 730 rather well, actually, bonus) Samsung 870 EVO SSD Dvorak Keyboard because I'm a nut running Manjaro on the latest kernel ------------------------------------------ I need bumblebee installed, which is the MUXing software for linux provided by Nvidia and their partners. Or whatever. Theres Bumblebee, which is the switching package, then theres BBSwitch, which is the software that talks to the kernel and muxxer itself. What happens is I get BBee installed, reboot, then I can't get to TTY, cant get to anything. Its legit the reason I have avoided Nvidia my entire life at this point, they just have bad hardware IMO. But, I install the normal driver, skip the mux, then it works, but I have significant lag to my screen. Probably to someone else they wouldn't care, but I play TF2 and I can see the trailing that happens in videos with people talking. No bueno. ------------------------------------------------ Things I will not be doing: Reinstalling linux / installing windows / installing mac os If I have to look at another installer I will smash the machine Booking it and seeing what happens I already know what happens Read wikis I did, no one actually spent the money to buy one of these back in the day to get it working near as I can tell, and anything I find nowadays is just snobbery. I don't want the lag, I don't want a shit OS, I just want gpu switching. Buy something Gimme money ------------------------------------------------ What do I do? Alternatively, is here a distro that will just work out of the box? I somewhat doubt it, but years ago when I had a GS63VR I ran deepin and it had all the shit setup already. Chinese people love these laptops as much as I do. ------------------------------------------------------- @LinusTechthanks for using vbulletin why the hell was I at level1techs
