From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

I see that you are trying to be nice.

If you have a chance to save me in the future, please do not withhold your wanting to be nice. Please tell me what you know ( like, for example, that. I should not use Manjaro ).
