[HLUG] Manjaro Linux with Cinnamon - promising

[Ann]

Not really, but I always install them via terminal using yaourt then I 
can choose which version to install, on rare occasions I chose not to 
install if something looks a bit buggy. The facebook group though is a 
great help, obviously they like you to read the wiki first or google but 
there is always someone with an answer if you get stuck. You can also 
register on Spatry's cup of Linux website.
regards Ann
PS I don't come to meetings as they are usually in Hereford, but if 
there is one in Leominster in the near future I will do my best to come 
along.
