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
As others have said, you can install Endeavour instead. If you want a gui installer, you can still install pamac (Manjaro’s gui for pacman and AUR).
I’m on Arch and I still find pamac useful at times.
The Arch Wiki is excellent. Endeavour has a great community that will help out if you get stuck.
There’s plenty of tutorial videos that can help get you started.
I highly recommend using the man command. Appending --help is also great for when you’re not quite sure what a pacman (or any other command for that matter) works.
