It has been on unstable since Arch had it. Unstable is just mirroring Arch repos. So it wouldn’t give you any idea of when the update will reach stable.
I hate the Wayland logo; it’s trash.
unfortunately I cannot find alternatives to the gore subreddits :(

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)
Manjaro has Pamac installed out of the box. Its commands are much more readable:
Install: pamac install {software}
Remove: pamac remove {software}
Update: pamac update
. You can just run man pamac
and read that, it’s concise and self explanatory.
You can also use Pamac-gtk (the GUI app-store). I recommend the GTK4 version. Just run sudo pamac install pamac-gtk
it will prompt you to replace pamac-gtk3.
You can enable the AUR by opening the GUI store (it will be called “add/remove software” in the app menu) > three dot menu > preferences (will prompt for password) > third party > Enable AUR support.
Only use the AUR as a last resort; check if the app is on flathub first, then the official repos, and finally check the AUR. You can add flatpak support by installing the flatpak
package and the libpamac-flatpak-plugin
optional dependency.
If you want updates to be as fast as they’d be on Arch you can switch to the unstable branch, and now you can’t blame Manjaro for your AUR problems.
and how to find in which package an command lies.
I am not sure what this means, but if you meant how to check what commands a package provides, then you can search for the package in the app-store and scroll down to “provides” everything under that section is commands the package provides.
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.
You can edit the ~/.zshrc
file to add your aliases and permanent environment variables.
On Arch based distros you can also add environment variables in the /lib/environment.d
file as KEY=value
, for setting firefox to use Wayland for example.
If you want to switch from ZSH to BASH here’s how.
Fedora 39
Manjaro 23
Ubuntu 23
Linux Mint 21
Debian 12
Kernel version 6 currently 6.7.0
I just added it because the current answer (jiggle) is a Gnome shell extension. So this is just my answer for Plasma.
KDE Plasma has a desktop effect called “Track Mouse” after you activate it you can use it by pressing Ctrl+Meta. It doesn’t look like the MacOS variant, but it does the job.
Flatpaks have the concept of runtimes; instead of downloading the entire qt tooling for a qt app the app could just use the KDE runtime same goes for GTK with the Gnome runtime. Flatpaks also have dependencies which can be shared between multiple apps even when they are not part of their runtimes, they are called “baseapps”. Flatpak apps still use double the space my normal apps take on a fresh install, so I assume using appimages to replace them will leave no space on my SSD.
Before deciding to settle on using Flatpak I tried to search for appimage permissions and how to set them, but it seems there is no such thing? If that’s true then there’s another advantage for Flatpaks and Snaps.
Also with all due respect: Flatpak and Snap tooling are not maintained by Probonodb.
Unfortunately not every app follows that convention. A lot of them just dump config files into your home directory, including Firefox.
There’s a script called XDG-Ninja that can list some of the apps that do that. You can probably get it from the AUR
Isn’t this just Firefox not using XWayland when you’re in a Wayland session?
If that’s the case, then the answer to “What if the DE you’re using is on x11?” is: nothing new will happen.
There’s another icon called “folder-book”
It does run on XWayland, or has that changed?
You can do this in Nemo by default, and for Dolphin you’ll need to install the KDE “kio-admin” package.
That’s kind of hard to do when your software is open source and distributed on every Linux distro’s repos. Someone will fork it as soon as this happens and at the same time FOSS enthusiasts will not be happy with it, and GIMP will lose most (if not all) of it’s donations.
I had another section about GIMP having to play catch up with Photoshop for eternity because of low funding (compared to PS), but I deleted it. And yeah this is another thing: GIMP will always be behind if it doesn’t have professional users who are willing to donate, and professional users will not use GIMP unless it stops lagging behind. additionally even professional users of GIMP may not donate, because they are not forced to. So even if GIMP gains a lot of users, it may still be underfunded.

The problem with this is that GIMP doesn’t aim, or have the funding to be more than just a Photoshop clone, so at best it will be as good as PS but for free. That won’t help you convince people already making money from their work using PS, but maybe given enough time and some advertisement people who are new to image manipulation will start learning how to use GIMP instead of Photoshop.
If you want more people to use your app, then more people have to be using your app. Simple as.
Someone has to direct them, and have a final say in which features get implemented and which do not. Otherwise the project will go nowhere.
The intention of this post was probably to find new distros that not many people have heard of.
Manjaro is one of the most popular (well known) distros especially for gaming. Not complaining though; some people think that your device will self destruct if you install Manjaro, so I don’t mind people showing their good experiences with it.
This isn’t a replacement for cut & past. It’s for creating a new folder and moving the files into it, not to an existing folder.
