A “Live-CD” has a version of the operating system that will run without needing to be installed. This is a feature of most GNU/Linux and BSD-based operating systems.
Xfce
The Xfce desktop environment is designed to be lightweight while retaining a familiar desktop interface. Xfce is the most conservative desktop, it strives to stable at all times. If you’re not sure which edition to choose, this one is a good place to start.
KDE
This version includes the K Desktop Environment. It offers a highly integrated environment with plenty of functionality and options. It is also highly customizable and offers a slightly different feel than the other editions.
GNOME
This edition of Manjaro includes the GNOME desktop, which is part of the GNU project. It offers an unconventional but intuitive desktop aiming to help productivity. It comes with a very
complete and aesthetically coherent set of applications to fill the most common needs.
