Linux Install Extras
Just set up Manjaro on a couple PCs and I realized that some of the most fun is browsing all the great packages and setting up a PC to meet as many forseeable needs I can. I want to list some of the things to do after install, housekeeping and additional apps to get.
System Updates
- sudo pacman -Syu
Enable AUR, Snap or Flatpak support
In the software updater, click the right side hamburger menu and preferences. From there open the tabs for the AUR, Snap and Flatpack and enable those app repos.
Install Brave
Get the brave browser from the software center.
Get MS Fonts
Open terminal.
- pamac upgrade -a
- sudo pamac build ttf-ms-fonts
Enable TRIM (SSD only)
- sudo systemctl enable fstrim.timer
- sudo systemctl start fstrim.timer
Enable firewall
Firewall is a pre-installed app on Manjaro that allows us to configure the network firewall. Open the app and toggle Status checkbox to activate it.
Get Redshift to protect your eyes
Redshift is a Linux application for protecting your eyes by reducing the amount of blue light at night.
Open Pamac → Search for redshift → Build → Apply.
