GNU/Linux Manjaro-X is made for GNOME users with new and stable releases, created specifically for New GNU/Linux Users, Designers, Animators, Film Editors, and GTK Developers. Manjaro-X was also developed from the GNOME edition manjaro-tools. The difference is that some packages are deliberately removed such as the Adapta-matcha theme, excessive manjaro branding, distinctive green colors, or some things that "don't look like GNOME" will be removed. This will restore GNOME's flavor.
During these Christmas holidays I had a lot of free time, so I decided to try to bring back to life this "old" laptop by installing Linux on it. I have to be honest, I didn't have a lot of hopes because in my mind linux was not good on detachable tablets.
First I tried pop os 19.10 and ubuntu 19.10. Since on my main laptop I run arch linux, I wanted to have a debian based machine.Well, I tried Bluetooth, wifi, touch screen and.. They all worked great!I was really surprised and happy to see this out of the box experience with linux on a tablet. The only problem was the speakers: no sound at all ?
So I downloaded Manjaro 18.1.5 KDE version, which is a DE I wanted to try. And yes! Sound worked out of the box, together with all the other things I tested before. If you are curious, I have 19,4GB of free storage even if manjaro KDE comes with too much a lot of software preinstalled like libreoffice and thunderbird.
Of course I bet that linux on this device doesn't do everything right, expecially without further tweaks. For example, one thing I noticed is that after that I close the lid, the device suspends correctly, but when I reopen it the touchpadtap to click doesn't work anymore.
Once you have booted into manjaro try if everything works and if you are happy install it!I choose the option to completely remove all the data on the hard disk and install manjaro on it.Furthermore, I didn't created a swap partition in order to save space on the hard drive.
If you like me tought that linux was not ready for hybrid tablet/laptop devices, I hope you changed your mind at this point.If you have a device of this type that is not working as expected with windows, you can give linux a chance by trying it without installing it with a live distro on a USB stick.
