   It probably has.   
   I am used to using the terminal to install stuff.   
   Usually I have headless systems ;)   
      
    RM>> How does it compare to Ubuntu on the desktop?   
    NB> Archlinux starts from a very basic console install, with no

    NB> that. Manjaro is more comparable to Ubuntu where you have a full GUI

   Yes indeed.   
   ATM I am quite happy with it.   
   And they are really dedicated to the Pibebook Pro.   
   (Own Manjaro forum for example)
