Now available with XFCE, GNOME and KDE environments
Manjaro uses the development model known as Rolling Release, which means that after a first installation, we will receive updates for life. Therefore, new ISOs are only for zero installations and everything mentioned above will appear as updates to existing users. Manjaro 20.0.3 is now available with desktops XFCE, GNOME y KDE. The next major version will already be a Manjaro 21 whose codename will start with M and should be released this summer… if there are no surprises.
I'ma test it on a nyeca machine
Manjaro is a real pass, I have it since edition 19, I think, because how it is rolling is the only thing that you never know very well and I have it pointing to testing, nothing stable, I mean it is as if it were a pure linux arch, because When targeting testing, it is the same arch update cycle and the day I have a problem has yet to come, I always have everything up to date, zero problems and you install the distro only once and you forget everything.
Any real solution with the screen resolution ??
