    Great post, so overall recommend for Linux Manjaro? Also what version do you own? The V4? Or newer?

    Thanks ….
    Manjaro is highly recommended for the ezbook 3 pro.
    I have a bios of 6-12-2017 so probably my ezbook  is V6…

    After 3 hours of working on google docs, during which I was listening to music for bout 30 minutes with audacious, I have 65 % battery:

    [dimitrios@dimitrios-laptop ~]$ uptime
    23:59:05 up 3:00, 1 user, load average: 1,79, 1,37, 1,20
    [dimitrios@dimitrios-laptop ~]$

    All the tests I do for my type of usage result to more than 8 hours battery time……

    I am truly amazed!!!!!!! Truly truly amazed….
    Lets hope thee battery quallity is good, or that i can find a replacement when the time comes.

    The only deeply deeply disturbing thing is the ()*&(^&$$#%^(&*() space bar and it;s often failure to register unless I give a firm press……….

    Is this docky in a standard configuration or did you tweak it somehow to make it look like this?

    Dear Martin, in  my system there is no screen tearing, which is odd because the xfce compositor is terrible.

    I am using the intel video driver, not the mesa one.

    Since you are using gnome its most probably its compositor.

    Go to the manjaro forums and you will find allot of threads regarding  screen tearing.
    Some people  install compton as compositor.
    I have the same exact issue in my desktop with manjaro xfce in firefox and some other programs.  When I disable the xcfe compositor it goes away. It also goes away when I enable compiz. But I dont like compiz….so……

    In laptops like the ezbook 3 pro…. and as a general rule…. I suggest you avoid all the heavy DE and WM.
    XFCE has a very small footprint, its low on resources and more or less feature full. Ok it has some glitches there and there… but we have to take things under perspective.
    I got a very fast 200 Euros laptop with great battery time and well build….. I cannot ask for more……

    Hi there, how did you install Manjaro?

    I seem to be having troubles booting into my live USB!
