Mmm... Manjaro sounds nice. The distro has been on DistroWatch top for about a week now and left even Mint behind. 8)

It's working. No problems installing an updating.
Since I was running LL3.2 (32bits) and I wanted to move to 64bits distro since the CPU supports 64bits, it came down to:
-LL 4.0
-Linuxmint 18.3
-Manjaro
All Xfce DE
I made 3 USB sticks using the dd command to test them Live on the same laptop.
LL 4.0 is the slowest to boot live and consumes more RAM than the other 2.
Linuxmint worked great but I read in the forum that Linuxmint 19.0 is coming out in the next months, so I was afraid I had to fresh install again.
Then Manjaro with the best boot screen where you can configure keyboard layout (for exemple), runs as well as Linuxmint.
After the live tests I made I decided to fresh install LL 4.0 since I'm signed in in the forum and for being familiar (xfce DE is all the same give or take) and so.
I have nothing important in this laptop so I didn't backup.
LL 4.0 gave me the error descrided above and left my old laptop with no OS.
So I turned to Manjaro and it lives again.
I intend to dual boot in the near future with either LL4.0 when the problems get fixed or Linuxmint 19 when it comes out.
It's this kind of experiences that either make you stick with a distro or move to other.
