Now what? + +Here are a few essential post installation steps I recommend you to follow. + +Quite honestly, these are the things I prefer to do after installing Manjaro. Yours could differ depending on your need. + +### Recommended Things To Do After Installing Manjaro Linux + +![][2] + +I am using Manjaro Xfce edition but the steps are applicable to other desktop variants of [Manjaro][3] as well. + +#### 1\. Set the fastest mirror + +Before even updating your system, I suggest to sort out your mirror list first. When refreshing the Manjaro system and downloading software from repositories, an optimized mirror list can have noticeable performance impact to the system. + +Open the Terminal emulator and type the following command: + +``` +sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack +``` + +![][4] + +#### 2\. Update your system + +Keeping your system up-to-date reduces the chances of security vulnerabilities. Refreshing your system repository is also a recommended thing to do before installing new software. + +You can [update your Manjaro system][5] by running the following command. + +``` +sudo pacman -Syu +``` + +![][6] + +#### 3\. Enable AUR, Snap or Flatpak support + +[Arch User Repository (AUR)][7] is one of the main reasons that a user chooses an [Arch-based system][8]. It gives you access to a huge number of additional software. + +Optionally, you can also enable support for [Snaps][9] and [Flatpaks][10] directly from Pamac GUI package manager. + +![][11] + +#### 4\. Enable TRIM (SSD only) + +If your root partition has been installed on SSD, enabling [TRIM][12] is one thing you need to do after installing Manjaro. TRIM helps to clean blocks in your SSD and extend the lifespan of your SSD. + +To enable TRIM on Manjaro, run the following command in a terminal: + +``` +sudo systemctl enable fstrim.timer +``` + +![][13] + +#### 5\. Installing a kernel of your choice (advanced users) + +One of the topics that I covered in my [Manjaro Linux review][14], is how easily you can switch kernels through a graphical interface. + +Do you prefer to use the command line? You can list the installed kernel(s) on your system and install a kernel using your terminal. + +To list the installed kernels: + +``` +mhwd-kernel -li +``` + +**To install a new kernel** (the latest to date 5.8 kernel for example)**:** + +``` +sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux58 +``` + +![][15] + +#### 6\. Install Microsoft true type fonts (if you need it) + +I have to often edit the work documents on my personal computer and hence I need the Microsoft fonts like Times New Roman or Arial. + +If you also need to use Microsoft fonts, you can access the [package][16] from [AUR][7]. If you want to use the command line for AUR packages, you can install an [AUR helper][17]. + +![][18] + +#### Conclusion + +[Manjaro is a great distribution][19] if you want to use the benefits of Arch Linux on a pre-configured, desktop optimized distribution. Though it comes pre-configured with many essentials, there are a few steps that cannot be done in advance, as everyone has a different setup and different needs. + +Please let us know in the comments below, which step apart from the already mentioned is the essential for you. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://itsfoss.com/things-to-do-after-installing-manjaro/ + +作者:[Dimitrios Savvopoulos][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://itsfoss.com/author/dimitrios/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/install-manjaro-linux/ +[2]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/things-to-do-after-installing-manjaro.jpg?resize=800%2C450&ssl=1 +[3]: https://manjaro.org +[4]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/manjaro-fasttrack.png?resize=800%2C600&ssl=1 +[5]: https://itsfoss.com/update-arch-linux/ +[6]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/sudo-pacman-Syu.png?resize=800%2C504&ssl=1 +[7]: https://itsfoss.com/aur-arch-linux/ +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/arch-based-linux-distros/ +[9]: https://itsfoss.com/use-snap-packages-ubuntu-16-04/ +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/ +[11]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/pamac-2.png?resize=800%2C600&ssl=1 +[12]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing) +[13]: https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/fstrim.timer_.png?resize=800%2C600&ssl=1 +[14]: https://itsfoss.com/manjaro-linux-review/ +[15]: https://i2.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/manjaro-cli-kernels.png?resize=800%2C600&ssl=1 +[16]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts +[17]: https://itsfoss.com/best-aur-helpers/ +[18]: https://i1.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ttf-ms-fonts.png?resize=800%2C600&ssl=1 +[19]: https://itsfoss.com/why-use-manjaro-linux/
