Title: LINUX
Post by: bernard stafford on June 22, 2019, 12:22:51 PM
I am using Linux Lite 4.4 kernel 5.1.
just completed Dual Boot of:
Manjaro_KDE_18.04_x86_64.iso
499 update files 
Changed the Kernel from 4 to 5.1
Have a small  WD 80 GB HDD 
1/2 for LL & 1/2 for Manjaro
Manjaro found my factory ATI  video driver . 
The video driver failed.  While I am still laughing about having
a black screen. I will stick with Linux Video Drivers.
All I have found so far is factory video drivers for wind_blows dll's.   
I would appreciate any suggestions and comments .

Re_Install Manjaro .  Linux Lite works just fine.
Wiped WD 80GB HDD. Re-installed everything on a WD 640GB HDD
I like the 16 MG Buffer better.
Manjaro installs with the 4.19.49 kernel which I left alone this time.
Linux Lite 4.4 64 bit. Is Faster than Manjaro KDE 64 bit. download size was 2.1 GB.
The new Manjaro is based off Ubuntu 18.04, Plasma desktop it has two different
Office Programs one is Linux the other is Microsoft office. Comes with the Default
Web Browser Firefox . It also has A program from Open SUSE. Manjaro is a very
Heavy Program the full program. Or can be installed as a minimal  OS - Office - File system - Web Browser
          ???    :o    :-\

Sooo, display works on LL with the ATI, but I'm guessing you are stuck with basic drivers and maybe low-resolution?

I may be mixing up posters but ;):
If this is related to other post with ATI X1300, have you tried using the on-board (Intel?) graphics instead?

You may want to review the Manjaro base. It's Arch not Ubuntu 18.04. Also be aware Manjaro is not always dual boot friendly. I've been running Manjaro KDE, as a the only OS on a desktop build for 4 years, and really like it. At the same time my Lite installs have all been more reliable and trouble free.

Regarding video drivers, I have a couple AMD based desktops and one laptop. All work great with the open source video drivers.

It all good : My Download name for the OS:
Manjaro_KDE_18.04_Stable_x86_.iso
Kernel 4.19.49.1
I agree it is an ARCH Distro. It is still based on Linux image 18.04  Ubuntu 
Download size 2.1 GB
This is the latest new Manjaro KDE 
Does your version of Manjaro have Microsoft Office Suite installed on it ? It is an online only office suite.
It does come with a boot easy installer. Based on Open SUSE boot installer. 
Installs along side of Linux Lite OS being one of the options.
Thank's for the correspondence this is  the first time I had Manjaro.
