I'm downloading with the desktop.

It's one of the few distros that positions and on the same level, and I want to see how's the out-of-the-box user experience.

Also, I'm curious to see what the Manjaro installer looks like...

I've been using for years, but I couldn't recommend it to any of my less technical friends. Even with archinstall, it's still not a smooth experience.

The live image booted quickly and effortlessly in UEFI mode, bringing me to a plain desktop (which is good).

The kernel in the live image is 5.15.60 (an LTS kernel), and KDE is 5.24.6, which is quite outdated.

As expected, WiFi, GPU and sound work perfectly out of the box. If this isn't your usual experience, learn to pick your hardware more wisely, or stop using outdated distros.

The installer looks neat, but I'll stop here: I just needed a live image to recover my existing Linux install which deleted its own kernel...
