Hi All,

Over the previous 20 years I’ve used at home mostly Mandriva, then kUbuntu and just installed a Manjaro. So I am not “new to Linux” but still new to Manjaro/arch. Has anyone a good “primer” for people migrating ?

A few questions I have

  • How does pacman work compared to apt-get ? and how to find in which package an command lies. I struggled a bit to get lsinput (to configure a rudder pedal for flight sim)

  • I am struggling a bit with Zsh, like I ended up starting bash to configure an environment variable, any ressources on-it. Or shall I simply change my setting (and how) to use bash that I know a bit. It’s a home/Gaming PC so I don’t plan to use the console that much but as anyone who has been using linux based OS for a while, I find-it more conveinient

    Yeah, let’s be real, if you like manjaro, okay whatever, but no one should be using manjaro when EndeavourOS exists.

    Which makes me wonder, if manjaro tanked, what other twists on an Arch based distro aimed at gaming and content creators could spring up in its place? Something with the level of execution of EndeavourOS but with its own comprehensive GUI tools?

      There are a million Arch derivatives. I think we are ok.

      EOS is my favourite though.

      Isn’t garuda the main gaming arch derivative?

        I dunno if it is “the main” one, but it’s where I landed for my desktop gaming rig. Benchmarks seem to hold it in good regard and it’s been really easy to transition to from limited previous Linux knowledge.

        I’d highly recommend it to anyone that’s used Linux before, but maybe not to someone that’s never left windows or macos.
