Hi All,

Over the previous 20 years I’ve used at home mostly Mandriva, then kUbuntu and just installed a Manjaro. So I am not “new to Linux” but still new to Manjaro/arch. Has anyone a good “primer” for people migrating ?

A few questions I have

  • 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)

  • 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. It’s a home/Gaming PC so I don’t plan to use the console that much but as anyone who has been using linux based OS for a while, I find-it more conveinient

    apt update && apt upgrade > pacman -Syu

    apt install package > pacman -S package

    apt remove package > pacman -Rns package

    apt search package > pacman -Ss package

    Except first dump Manjaro for EndeavourOS.

    Once on EOS, dump pacman for yay ( sub yay in for pacman above ).

    Yay will add access to the AUR ( WAY more packages )
