I've never tried an Arch based distro before.Manjaro officially comes with 3 DEs of choice (XFCE, KDE Plasma and Gnome).Been using Gnome for quite a while (since Gnome 2 era), might as well I try something new. Downloaded KDE Plasma version and I'm hooked!Love

It's been a while since I last play around with Linux. Last version I used was Linux Mint 17.1. My Dell Studio XPS 16 overheated while my son played games on it. It's gone for good. Last year, I bought an Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition. It's a nice laptop. I'm glad that it play nice with Linux. Found out that Canonical has ditched Unity and revert back to Gnome Shell.

It's been a while since my last post in this blog. I've been busy learning new stuff. Most of the time in my career life I've been doing a lot of programming. Started jumping into integration pool in 2004 with Microsoft Biztalk for a year and then back to programming business again. Sometimes opportunities come when you least expect it. Who might have thought that now I'm back into integration

But GNOME Shell, is a different story,
