And yet, I still have trouble running normal software that was built for Linux, on Linux. Every set of updates might cause a problem that I've never seen on Windows or a Mac. I had an Ubuntu machine that only lasted 2 weeks before it wouldn't boot one day after an update. Never figured that one out - it was an experiment to see how much easier Manjaro was to setup and add software to than Ubuntu. (The answer: it's much, much easier.)

I run Manjaro too. Having up to date versions of software is nice instead of having to wait until ppa's are updated.

Also there is a community version that includes just i3 the tiling window manager out of the box.
