#Distro

• Manjaro

  • Out-of-the-box ex­pe­ri­ence.
• DE
  • XFCE -> I will try it out first.
  • but ac­tu­ally there are a lot of full fledged apps are from KDE fam­ily
    • digiKam
    • kden­live
• Rationale
  • Windows be­comes more and more bloated. In fact the whole OS makes every­thing run­ning on it slower. So many un­nec­es­sary stuff run­ning in the back­ground while crit­i­cal soft­ware such as File Explorer be­comes a dis­as­ter.
  • My stack is not Microsoft friendly. Docker is so heavy on Windows; and ba­si­cally all my works are on WSL; so what is the point of keep­ing us­ing Windows?
  • Microsoft evolves from M$ to Microslop.
  • In this econ­omy when RAM be­comes so damn ex­pen­sive and Windows kand its back­ground process­esk takes so much mem­ory then there is no way for user to have good ex­pe­ri­ence.
  • The UI be­comes atroucious; how on earth the user have to wait for 2 – 3 sec­onds for the con­text menu fully loaded. And what with this ugly mess here. Plus; why do we need to 2 sep­a­rate con­text menus …
  • For some rea­sons the build agent in OpenCode can­not work prop­erly in WSL.
• Manjaro
  • • I want some­thing more sta­ble; did­n’t cost my a whole week to fix is­sues if I ever want to up­grades soft­ware.
• XFCE
  • • Most of my stacks are TUI so most of the time I only need bare­bone GUI; mostly for me­dia con­sum­ing task such as.

  • 1. Issue: [SOLVED] er­ror: key “A6234074498E9CEE” could not be looked up re­motely / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums
• Migrations
  • Delete all un­used apps.
  • Move me­dia data to other disks.
  • Test on vir­tual ma­chines to see if there are any is­sues.
  • OneDrive does­n’t have the of­fi­cial client for Linux; so I opted to the open source ver­sion; which takes a while to get fa­mil­iar with.
  • VirtualBox
    • VBoxSVGA
