Manjaro is an ancient European word meaning "Arch Linux won't support ARM". Nobody in their right mind should use Arch Linux, but for ARM devices it's sometimes the least-worst choice. The package manager, inherited from Arch Linux, is insane. Here are some common commands: ``` lang=bash # Update the system pacman -Syu pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade # Like, //really// update the system pacman -Syyuu # Okay but surely there's an obvious install command... lol nope that's the -S / --sync option actually pacman -S packagename pacman --sync packagename # Search for a package pacman --go-fuck-yourself ```
