[HLUG] Manjaro Linux with Cinnamon - promising

[Ann]

Manjaro is now my only distro using xfce, haven't done any distro 
hopping since discovering it. Have you looked at any of Spatry's guides 
and reviews on youtube regarding Manjaro. We have a facebook group for 
Arch and Manjaro users if you want to join:

I use lots of the AUR packages which I install via the terminal using 
yaourt... just so easy.
regards
Ann
