Manjaro KDE (Plasma) - Kyria 19.0.1

Manjaro KDE (Plasma) - Kyria 19.0.1 is worst Linux Distro. This distro is flawed with bugs.

For a start the Manjaro Linux LiveCD is very slow to start. On first boot the system looks large clunkly with lots of squarish icons and lots of grey all over the place. Its a very simplistic, design/theme with lots of grey and brown borders with no eye-candy.  Although the default theme is dark any window you open there are unappealing chunks of grey maybe complimenting Windows95 or even looks worse. Sometimes I wonder, in the linux community perhaps there are lot of people who liked Windows95 and didn't let go of the fact that Microsoft moved on that they liked it so much they couldn't let and instead developed their own Windows95-like OS called Linux Manjaro.

Overall, the theme is boring unless you really know how to technically and creatively change and blend colours with the theme.







Unlike Windows7 there seems no screen capture utility like the snipper or snip tool in Windows7. In Windows7 you would you use the snip tool to capture part of the screen and not the print screen button on the keyboard. The confusion is MKDE (Manjaro KDE) does not have a snip tool but there are alternatives but the installed alternatives do not work. Whatsmore I was not able install any software from the repository because of authentication problems. Although I have set my password during installation and remember what it is MKDE will not authenticate me. Even when I repeatedly change the password from my only admin account it still didn't work, MKDE is a rubbish Linux distro. So, I was stuck with bunch screen capture utilities that do not work when summoned. Then, when press the Print Screen button 'PrtScn SysRq' button on the keyboard one of the installed screen capture utility immediately popped with the screen captured and then I was able to save the image.

Overall, MKDE was only good for surfing the web.

  
Unlike windows, there is no control+alt+del to invoke a task manager but it is in the Manjaro menu. After pressing OK the software repo won't close. Coming from a windows background your immediate response it to do ctrl+alt+del in Linux this does not work and you have to find out everything how to do it.

For arguments sake those in the linux community who well versed or educated in Linux it is not problem for them, it is easy. To newbies to proceed with a task linux seems a daunting dated system a bit like the pre-windows days. During the 80's - 90's there were systems like DOS, Nimbus and Novell Netware. Some tasks required exiting the system going into dos even by booting off a dos boot floppy and we had to type in learned commands in to a CLI (Command Line Interface). Linux command line is the same unless you know some commands it is a cryptic out of date system like the pre-windows days; for modern days this pre-historic, very cryptic outdated system with no gui to kill tasks. In MKDE task manager does not exist by default.

You have to open a CLI / terminal window and run the following command:
"ps"

this will give you a list of process with process id and then you have to issue a kill command to stop the task such as:

kill <process-id>

but even then it doesnt work.

Unlike windows file manager is a learning curve. The tree structure is not the same. Images placed in the images folder is there but system says its not there. MKDE is a so shit ancient system that if you save pic on desktop then it can't write/copy it to image foler, then it cant open it.

In MKDE there is no difference betweeen copy and move both of these functions do the same thing; sometimes they commands don't even exist and if it does exist, if you tell it to copy it will move and if you tell it move it will copy the files.

In conclusion: Manjaro KDE 19 Kyria is a broken system. Even though in power management it was changed not lock the desktop, it still, does it even after reboots, then it needs password which it doesn't accept and have reboot every time however when you reboot it logs in automatically without a password. Whatta broken system it is!

3/10
