Thanks for your support
The Manjaro Linux receives a great deal of support from its community of users and we would like to thank each and every contributor for participating. We are growing at a steady pace and our distribution is getting better every day thanks to you.
It is very easy to make a difference. Depending on your skill set, your availability you can help Manjaro in one or more of the following ways:
Support and Promotion
Spreading the word
If you like Manjaro, let people know. Write a review and publish it on distrowatch.com. Talk about it with your friends and the people around you.
Joining the Community
Manjaro isn't just an operating system, it's also a dynamic community of people who enjoy, gather, and interact with a free and open project. Whether it's by helping others sort through issues, by making them feel welcome, or simply by meeting and talking to other Manjaro users, we recommend you join the community and participate in making Manjaro better.
Helping others
If you have some spare time and you're willing to help other users with technical problems, you should seriously consider reading the forums and/or joining the IRC channel and helping other Manjaro users solve the problems you know how to fix.
Project contributions
Bug reports
If you've noticed something that doesn't work properly while using Manjaro, let us know. The problem you have discovered is likely to affect others as well; The sooner we know about it, the sooner we're able to fix it.
New ideas
The vast majority of improvements included in each release come from the community. If there's something that you think is missing or that could be done better, please tell us. Whether it's the inclusion of a missing hardware driver, or a software application that should be part of a stock installation, or if you have any other ideas on how to make Manjaro better, we're always interested in hearing them.
Artwork
If you are talented in graphic design and willing to contribute to the project, please send us your creations and artwork. Whether it's a simple wallpaper, an icon set, a splash screen, or even a new logo, we're always interested to hear from you about new artwork.
Code
Most of our development is done in QT, C++, Python, HTML5/CSS and BASH. We also use Git for version control and PKGBUILDs for packaging. If you're comfortable with these technologies, don't hesitate to have a look at the code. If you think you can improve our applications or write new ones don't hesitate to suggest patches or to fork our git repositories.

Handling hardware
Manjaro not only supports the use of multiple kernels (selectable from the advanced options at the boot screen), but allows easy access to the very latest bleeding edge kernels as well. This is undertaken through use of the Kernel module in Manjaro's graphical Settings Manager, or via the command line with the MHWD-kernel (Manjaro Hardware Detection) command.
These Manjaro tools will automatically update a newly installed kernel including any modules currently in use with your existing kernel. For example, if you were to update from kernel 3.18 to 4.1, mhwd-kernel would automatically include the 4.1 builds of any and all modules presently used in 3.18. How about that!
You can configure your hardware through the Hardware Detection module in the Settings Manager or alternatively with the MHWD cli-application. With these tools you can install for example graphical drivers, free and propritary.
Getting help
Although Manjaro is designed to work as much "out of the box" as possible, we don't claim it's perfect. There can be times when things go wrong, you might have questions and a desire to learn more or just want to personalise it to suit your tastes. This page provides details of some available resources to help you!
Search the web
Perhaps the first place to look for generic Linux help is by using your favourite search engine. Just include words like 'Linux', 'Manjaro' or 'Arch' in your search query.
As Manjaro is based on Arch Linux, guides and tips designed for Arch usually apply to Manjaro too.
Look in the forums
For specific help with Manjaro we have a dedicated online forum where you can search for topics, or create one yourself! This is probably the next best place to go for collaboration, discussion and assistance. Ask for help, post your thoughts, or outline some suggestions. Don't be shy!
The Manjaro forum is divided into sub-forums for different topics and environments, please post your query in the appropriate place!
Join us on IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
Another option is to join us on IRC by joining our #manjaro channel on the chat.freenode.net servers.
Sign up to a mailing list
Another way to get help is to email questions to a Manjaro mailing list (you can also search the history for past discussions). Simply sign up to the list you prefer and follow the instructions. There is a list dedicated to several topics, just take a look!
Other resources
Manjaro Germany - Official, support for our german community.
AUR Repository - Extra software not in the regular repositories, built from source.
Manjaro Wiki - Official wiki for Manjaro.
Arch Wiki - Official wiki for Arch.
IRC Chat - Live talk and help by users for users.
Suggestions
Got a suggestion on how we can make Manjaro better? Found something you want included, or want to help out? Please let us know, by posting your suggestion on the forum or drop by on IRC.
Thank you!
We hope you enjoy using Manjaro!

Manjaro 16.10
We are happy to publish another stable release of Manjaro Linux, we call Fringilla.
The Xfce edition remains our flagship offering and has received the attention it deserves. Few can claim to offer such a polished, integrated and leading-edge Xfce experience. We ship Xfce 4.12 with this release of Manjaro. We mainly focused on polishing the user experience on the desktop and window manager, and on updating some components to take advantage of newly available technologies such as switching to a new Vertex-Maia theme, we already using known as Maia for our KDE edition.
Our KDE edition continues to deliver this powerful, mature and feature-rich desktop environment with a unique look-and-feel, and with the perks of Manjaro's latest tools. We ship now Plasma 5.8 desktop in combination with the latest KDE-Apps 16.08. It was a huge step to get it all playing together smoothly and to give the user experience the same feeling as our KDE4 editions of the past.
Kernel 4.4 is used for this release, such as the latest drivers available to date. Relative to the last installation media release, our tools have been improved and polished.
The Manjaro Settings Manager (MSM) now provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for installing and removing the many series of kernels we offer. Manjaro's selection of readily available kernels remains the most extensive of all Linux distribution we know of. At the time of this release, nine kernel-series are available directly from our binary repositories, ranging from the mature & rock-solid 3.10 series to the latest 4.9 release. Additionally we offer two realtime kernel series. Such a wide array of available kernel options results in extensive hardware support, getting the most out of your system for you, be it old or new. We also created a kcm module to integrate MSM seamlessly into System-Settings of Plasma 5. We have now several notifier for MSM to be installed optionally.
With Pamac 4.1 we have switched to CSD design. Guillaume was working for some time on this new design for pamac. Followed features you can expect:
- https mirror support
- column sortable in updater
- sort search result by relevance in manager
- add clean cache tab in preferences
- systemd timer unit to clean cache monthly
- systemd timer unit to generate mirrorlist monthly
- if the db lock file is present, it waits if pacman is running, else it removes the lock file
So please test this release thru and thru and let us know what you think of Fringilla.
We hope you enjoy this release.
