How are archlinux packages installed?

That isn’t an Arch Linux Package. It’s a user built PKGBUILD. You build the package yourself on your computer from the PKGBUILD, though some of them are prebuilt bin, which is nice on slower computers.

If you don’t know what AUR is, please read about it before using it:

• Arch User Repository - Manjaro
• Arch User Repository - ArchWiki

Remember to always read the comments of the package on AUR before installing it.

You can view the PKGBUILD to see if there are any issues with trust or malware too, because it’s user created, not distro managed.

To use AUR, you need an AUR helper to make it easier. yay and pacaur are popular ones, but there are plenty more.

That being said, you are on Manjaro and have pamac, which also can build AUR packages, and works really well actually.

You can either use the GUI after turning it on, or use the CLI and type pamac build devilspie2

If I can get Krita working I’ll be in business.
Strangely, it does not work when installed off the Package Manager.

So, when you install the package via sudo pacman -Syu krita or pamac install krita, after krita installs and you launch it, it still has the same issue with it crashing? Did you also try restarting your computer?

Uninstalled Krita with Package Installer and tried off this website.
Failed with an error message: "error: too early for operation, device not yet seeded or device model not acknowledged:

Now that you have pamac-snap-plugin installed, try using the pamac GUI to install the snap package to see if it works. You have to go into pamac settings and enable the Snap toggle, which is easy.

If you want to try to flatpak of Krita instead, you can install pamac-flatpak-plugin to enable it in pamac.
