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.

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.

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.

It was the same architecture but with more nodes and data

So the architecture just needed more data to generate useful answers. I don’t think that was an accident.

Fedora 39
Manjaro 23
Ubuntu 23
Linux Mint 21
Debian 12

Kernel version 6 currently 6.7.0

I’ll try out Privacy Badger. I never got an ad on Firefox except for this one.

There’s a loud ad for “Duolingo super” that has a high chance of showing up after every lesson. Also using Firefox with Ublock installed, and it’s still here.

Snap sucks, but not for the reason OP stated. There’s a decillion reasons for why Snaps suck, why make up a reason that applies to other formats that are actually good?

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.

Gamescope is just a Wayland compositor. It’s like switching from Gnome to Plasma (or Mutter to KWin), I don’t think that would matter to Steam.

Does Steam even have any support for Wayland? There’s maybe one dialogue window that runs under native Wayland, and the rest of the UI uses XWayland. I’ve been running the few games I played under XWayland and they work just fine on KDE Plasma / Manjaro.

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.

The language model? It’s open source and more catered towards developers than consumers, but yes it’s here to stay along with react and other developer tools.

I have never played any VR games, and I don’t really intend on changing that. If I ever decide to, then the device isn’t gonna have the Meta logo on it.

people are actually buying these? I thought they were already a dead project when they were launched.

Besides Instagram and maybe Whatsapp, what services does Facebook(Meta) provide that are gonna survive the boomer extinction?

This isn’t about truth or facts. If something major happens in Russia or related to it and the president doesn’t show up to talk about it, that would raise eyebrows. Now imagine that happening over and over again. Putin dying would be the perfect opportunity for the US to start swaying Russia into a civil war. They definitely don’t want the president’s chair to be empty and contested for.

The most useful thing to them will always be to shove anyone atop that chair before the US notices.
