Still some life in that ol' Pinebook A64 ...
#ManjaroLinux
@wodrow Yes I agree. Once a Linux distribution designd for those new to Linux is installed on a computer, most users can use it, find it benficial, and end up liking it better than Windows.
I have had 80+ year old friends who can barely use Windows, like and be successful with #ManjaroLinux.

A-ha... my #ManjaroLinux is not going to sleep because of the tab I have open in #Vivaldi that's connected to my #Ubiquiti router management interface. I'll just have to hibernate the tab when not in use, or remove the pin and close it.
I've had quite an interesting time over the last few days with #ManjaroLinux. It has a beautifully put together KDE plasma desktop, and it's really slick. However, it's definitely not for the beginner. For me, the experience has been like going back in time a few years, but with the advantage of having #Claude and #Gemini to help me.
Thanks to AI (and a lot of prior knowledge, an essential when using AI in my opinion), I was able to get a number of things working that didn't just work out of the box, including:
- an Epson printer/scanner
- a Brother laser printer
- a Bluetooth mouse
- KVM virt-manager
The mouse was the most interesting. I'd read that my MediaTek chipset isn't well supported, and through the UI it detected the mouse but refused to successfully connect. However, using the command line bluez utility all is good.
One final thing to work out is why it's not going to sleep. It'll sleep when triggered manually, but not when left idle. I suspect the web browser might be at fault, but that's tomorrow's challenge.
All in all, despite my reservations about #Linux distros with systemd, #Manjaro has greatly exceeded my expectations. Isn't #FOSS great?

ちなさっきの25GBはmanjaro-VAIOくん #manjaroLinux
Manjaro 26.0 Released with Linux 6.18 LTS, Xfce 4.20, KDE Plasma 6.5, and GNOME 49
#XLibre became the default Xserver on the #ManjaroLinux-based #DeLinuxCo Workstation in version 25.09. Please read the announcement at https://forum.manjaro.org/t/delinuxco-25-09-251012-released-xlibre-is-the-default-xserver/182249 and learn more about the distribution at https://delinuxco.com. A big thank you to https://github.com/delinuxco!
#XLibre #ManjaroLinux combo experiment btw. Working on a custom Awesome WM Manjaro spin with XLibre integration in manjaro-hello. Still WIP but showing promise! ISO at https://github.com/megvadulthangya/manjaro-awesome-iso #XLibreArchWeek #AwesomeWM
#XLibre runs on #ManjaroLinux btw. You can use the x86_64 binary packages from https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64/README.html or the AUR PKGBUILDs from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xlibre-xserver#comment-1037485. We've tested both ways and they work just like on #ArchLinux. #XLibreArchWeek
