Looks like I'm going to shelve NR-R until there is a version that actually works on my PC Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447119129870404433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-90713812578509852412015-02-05T21:01:54.638-08:002015-02-05T21:01:54.638-08:00I'm happy this Rolling release installed to my...I'm happy this Rolling release installed to my Hard Drive almost a s easily as an Ubuntu derivativeI use Manjaro from USB also and look to eventually install that to the hard drive. I also use Netrunner 14 LTS and enjoy iot equally well. It's a little more complicated to use Manjaro command line action, but it is certainly doable for an intermediate user or even a highly motivated RonDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835243305089855125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-86750320842237682522014-12-26T10:27:31.126-08:002014-12-26T10:27:31.126-08:00Netrunner has an easier implementation over Manjar...Netrunner has an easier implementation over Manjaro and I hope you'll like it. I agree, I am really fed up of Windows updates and it kills a lot of productive time :). Linux is a joy to use in this regard.

Hopefully the Netrunner rolling will install just as easily as the Ubuntu-based versions, and find all other Linux systems on my hard drive. Using Netrunner rolling from USB is very pleasing.

Manjaro's semi rolling release iron out a lot of bugs and make it better to use for long term. <br /><br />For Netrunner, the preloaded Firefox was eating up more RAM than expected.

I have suggested Manjaro to several new Linux users, mainly because of its excellent handling of proprietary graphics drivers, as you mentioned. I do believe it has the smartest and most foolproof graphics autoconfiguration of any distro.
