I’m having problems with Manjaro again, always after those big updates. Anyway, I’m moving from Manjaro since it seems it will not work (authorization isn’t working properly). I already tried Ubuntu before (used it for 3 months), but moved on since file management in Ubuntu is pretty bad (had to use terminal to copy files and format drives because system wouldn’t recognize me as administrator). I’ve been using Manjaro for 4 months and it’s really good, the update problems ruin it.

Anyway, I was thinking of moving on to something like Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora. I wanted something with support and with people that care for the code. What do you guys suggest? I ask because I don’t want to encounter another distro changing problem with my next distro.

    As for the file management in Ubuntu…just get used to it. Doing stuff as root in a GUI never has worked out well for me. Learn the terminal and be happy

      …or start a file manager as root ?
      sudo nautilus or something ?

        sudo nautilus may not work directly, often X has some security rules set up so that root can’t launch GUI applications. So you have to run xhost + before sudo nautilus, or use a dedicated tool like kdesu (though I think kdesu in particular is deprecated?)

          .1) Thanks for this more ​thorough view of the question
          .2) it works fine on new install of Ubuntu. sudo thunar is also ok in there.
