Ubuntu shouldn’t have slowed down significantly in that short space of time.
Manjaro vs arch performance install#
And that all adds up.įreshly installed operating systems are always fast to start with, so is it a fair comparison? I think so. It replaced Disco Dingo 19.04, which was a fresh install in late April of this year. Manjaro is faster to load applications, swap between them, move to other workspaces, and boot up and close down. The faster my computer can get through that task, the faster I can move on to the next. That was a compelling factor because I often need to compile big codebases. It was hard not to notice that Manjaro in a virtual machine was almost as fast as Ubuntu running on my hardware. So, why did I move to Manjaro, and is it right for you? Manjaro Blows Past Ubuntu in Speedįor research and other purposes, I keep a lot of VirtualBox images of different Linux distributions.
My decision to move had nothing to do with the organization behind Ubuntu. The Amazon search results by default, which were removed, are a good example. On the whole, I still consider Canonical to be a force for good in the Linux-sphere. But, tellingly and reassuringly, it has listened to its user base and reversed some of those decisions.
Canonical has made some ill-considered moves through the years, such as foisting the Unity desktop-designed to maximize screen space on netbooks-onto all other computers. That’s a massively important role for Ubuntu to play. People tell me they’re on a particular distribution-Fedora, Debian, you name it, I’ve heard it-but they started on Ubuntu. If their current distribution had been their first foray into Linux, they doubt they would have stuck with it. I’ve heard the same story many times, both in-person and online. Once they’ve found their feet and get a bit of experience, some people move on to other distributions. You could make the same argument for Canonical, and its success with making Linux accessible for newcomers to the Linux desktop.Ī lot of people who use Linux for the first time stick a toe in the water with Ubuntu.
Over in the corporate world, no one comes close to the success Red Hat has had with promoting Linux as a serious enterprise infrastructure tool. I still rate Ubuntu very highly, and I have great respect for Canonical.
