6 Essential Things To Do After Installing Manjaro Linux
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
So, you just did a [fresh installation of Manjaro Linux][1]. Now what?
|
|
|
|
Here are a few essential post installation steps I recommend you to follow.
|
|
|
|
Quite honestly, these are the things I prefer to do after installing Manjaro. Yours could differ depending on your need.
|
|
|
|
### Recommended Things To Do After Installing Manjaro Linux
|
|
|
|
![][2]
|
|
|
|
I am using Manjaro Xfce edition but the steps are applicable to other desktop variants of [Manjaro][3] as well.
|
|
|
|
#### 1\. Set the fastest mirror
|
|
|
|
Before even updating your system, I suggest to sort out your mirror list first. When refreshing the Manjaro system and downloading software from repositories, an optimized mirror list can have noticeable performance impact to the system.
|
|
|
|
Open the Terminal emulator and type the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### 2\. Update your system
|
|
|
|
Keeping your system up-to-date reduces the chances of security vulnerabilities. Refreshing your system repository is also a recommended thing to do before installing new software.
|
|
|
|
You can [update your Manjaro system][5] by running the following command.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo pacman -Syu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
![][6]
|
|
|
|
#### 3\. Enable AUR, Snap or Flatpak support
|
|
|
|
[Arch User Repository (AUR)][7] is one of the main reasons that a user chooses an [Arch-based system][8]. It gives you access to a huge number of additional software.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can also enable support for [Snaps][9] and [Flatpaks][10] directly from Pamac GUI package manager.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### 4\. Enable TRIM (SSD only)
|
|
|
|
If your root partition has been installed on SSD, enabling [TRIM][12] is one thing you need to do after installing Manjaro. TRIM helps to clean blocks in your SSD and extend the lifespan of your SSD.
|
|
|
|
To enable TRIM on Manjaro, run the following command in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo systemctl enable fstrim.timer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
![][13]
|
|
|
|
#### 5\. Installing a kernel of your choice (advanced users)
|
|
|
|
One of the topics that I covered in my [Manjaro Linux review][14], is how easily you can switch kernels through a graphical interface.
|
|
|
|
Do you prefer to use the command line? You can list the installed kernel(s) on your system and install a kernel using your terminal.
|
|
|
|
To list the installed kernels:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mhwd-kernel -li
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**To install a new kernel** (the latest to date 5.8 kernel for example)**:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux58
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
![][15]
|
|
|
|
#### 6\. Install Microsoft true type fonts (if you need it)
|
|
|
|
I have to often edit the work documents on my personal computer and hence I need the Microsoft fonts like Times New Roman or Arial.
|
|
|
|
If you also need to use Microsoft fonts, you can access the [package][16] from [AUR][7]. If you want to use the command line for AUR packages, you can install an [AUR helper][17].
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### Conclusion
|
|
|
|
[Manjaro is a great distribution][19] if you want to use the benefits of Arch Linux on a pre-configured, desktop optimized distribution. Though it comes pre-configured with many essentials, there are a few steps that cannot be done in advance, as everyone has a different setup and different needs.
