Hello guys, there is certain hype with the recent release of Manjaro 17.0 Gellivara. We also tried out the latest release and it just surprised us so we decided to write some good and bad things about it. Let’s see what Manajro 17.0 has to offer us.

Manjaro 17.0 is based on Arch Linux. But we think, Manjaro is on comp[letely different level from any other Arch-based-easy-to-install type of distribution. Manjaro clearly maintain it’s own repositories while giving advantage of utilizing AUR too. Manjaro repositories have some exclusive packages which can’t even be found in Arch repositories.
