Manjaro Exerience Records

This will only contains the pitfalls met at installation and during utilization. So far it's great.

ORG Website

  • Use the wiki page instead of the official org website which is not really uptodate.
  • Website points to an outdated repo that host the manjaro image. If you carefully read there is a forward message on the repo pointing toward the new one
  • SHA checksum are not up-to-date on the org website. They can be found in the new repo listed above

ISO Image

Do not bother with the CLI command using dd software to create a bootable USB (failed due to blocksize) but used etcher GUI instead

Installation

Ambiguous message on the welcome screen :

  • Non-Free driver Or something similar: This has to be enabled if your monitor is plugged into a graphic card that needs proprietary drivers (NVIDIA for example). Otherwise your display won't work at all.

Troubleshooting

Upgrade package

General feelings and difference from Ubuntu

  • Package upgrades are bigger and occure more often. Take your time.
  • General purpose packages (openssll, openssh, git) are available in a more recent version. There can be key differences, mind the changelog.
