This article introduces the relevant knowledge of "how to use Manjaro, the release of Linux". Many people will encounter such a dilemma in the operation of actual cases, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

1. Arch loves but not.

Arch is a very good Linux distribution, but anyone who knows about it knows that the installation process of Arch is a hell-level horror index. Therefore, many people want to experience Arch but are afraid of its installation process, so they choose Manjaro as the second choice.

Arch Linux does not have a default graphical installer, and you must install it on your computer through the command line interface. In fact, it has no user interface at all. Therefore, the installation process is very difficult for beginners, especially for users who are used to the Windows graphical interface.

In this case, Manjaro is based on Arch, with a graphical user desktop and a very simple graphical installer, successfully attracting the attention of the public. Its entire installation process will not take more than 10 minutes at most, and it is very friendly to beginners.

two。 Get started quickly

Partners who have reinstalled the Windows system all know that after the computer is installed with the system, it can only be regarded as the first step, and there is still a lot of work to be done, such as patching, driver installation, and so on.

The same is true of installing the Linux system, after the system installation is completed, you also need to install many drivers. But the Linux system is after all relatively minority, many drivers are difficult to find, unlike the Windows system, you can find a lot of drivers on Google Baidu.

Manjaro is very good at this, and this release contains everything you need to get to work right away. It has its own graphics package manager, and you can install any program you want:

It also has its own "hardware configuration" program that automatically detects all your hardware and downloads the required drivers:

It even has its own tools to download various versions of the Linux kernel, which allows you to test better drivers:

By default, Manjaro comes with a host of other very useful software. For example, the GNOME version comes pre-loaded with many themes and about 20 GNOME Shell extensions.

All this makes Manjaro very friendly to novices, making it the perfect choice for advanced users who just want to install the operating system and continue to use it.

3. Get the latest software updates

As mentioned earlier, Manjaro is based on Arch, while Arch rolls through the update system, which means that as long as upstream software developers provide the latest software updates, you can use this update immediately. In most cases, this update strategy is very good, but for some users, such rolling updates may damage their systems.

Manjaro solved this problem by introducing its own software delivery layer, which they tested before sending the update to the user. When the test passes, the update is pushed to the user:

This gives the distribution the best of both worlds: you can get the latest version of the specific software you need while keeping the rest of the system stable.

4. Massive software resources

Don't think that Manjaro lacks software just because it doesn't have PPA. The Manjaro team maintains a large software repository, similar to the software store on mobile phones.

In addition, Manjaro users can also access the Arch user repository (AUR). AUR is a community-driven repository for users of Arch-based Linux distributions. A considerable number of applications in AUR are either initially packaged for Ubuntu or extracted directly from Github.

Of course, there are drawbacks to using AUR. For example, the dependencies required by the AUR package conflict with what has been installed; or you may encounter a corrupted and outdated package. But this kind of situation is relatively rare, so we should pay attention to screening when installing.
