Editor to share with you what to do after the installation of Manjaro Linux, I believe most people do not know much, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

What to do after installing Manjaro Linux

I am using the Xfce version of Manjaro, but these steps also apply to other versions of the Manjaro desktop environment.

1. Set the fastest mirror

Before updating the system, I suggest tidying up the list of images. When refreshing the Manjaro system and downloading software packages from the software repository, the optimized image list will have a significant impact on the performance of the system.

Open the terminal emulator and enter the following command:

Sudo pacman-mirrors-fasttrack

two。 Update the system

Keeping the system updated can reduce the probability of security vulnerabilities, and it is recommended to refresh the system's software repository before installing new software.

You can update the Manjaro system with the following command:

Sudo pacman-Syu

3. Enable AUR, Snap, and Flatpak support

Arch user repository (Arch User Repository) (AUR) is one of the main reasons why users choose Arch Linux-based systems. You can access a large number of add-ons in AUR.

(LCTT translation note: the PKGBUILD in AUR is uploaded by users and unaudited. Users should be held responsible. Please check whether the contents of the package are reasonable before building the package.)

As an option, you can enable support for Snap and Flatpak directly in the Pacman graphical package manager.

Enable TRIM (SSD only)

If your root partition is already installed on SSD, enabling TRIM will be one of the things you need to do after installing Manjaro. TRIM helps clean up blocks in the SSD, thereby extending the life of the SSD.

To enable TRIM in Manjaro, enter the following command in the terminal:

Sudo systemctl enable fstrim.timer

5. Install the kernel (advanced user)

One of the topics I mentioned in the Manjaro review is that you can easily replace the kernel in the graphical interface.

Like to use the command line? You can also list the installed kernels in the system and install new kernels in the terminal.

List the installed kernels:

Mhwd-kernel-li

Install the new kernel (take the latest 5.8 kernel as an example):

Sudo mhwd-kernel-I linux58

6. Install Microsoft TrueType fonts (if required)

I often edit working documents on my personal computer, so I need Microsoft fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial.

If you also need to use Microsoft fonts, you can get this package from AUR. If you want to manage AUR packages from the command line, you can choose to install an AUR assistant.
