Nice. :+1:

Nice work.

What about transfering this to a wiki?

If you create this as a text(-wiki) post here, anyone can access the commands directly (copy and paste), and it can be extended (if as wiki-post).

System and Screen

Display the Kernel-version

uname -r

Or if you agree, I can create it in the manjaro-wiki. (It is more beautiful there than here)

and force refresh the packages databases (required when changing mirror), and update the system

AUR included

typo, one o added

typo, not sure what you meant there

could maybe note that it is the same as the ~/ folder (for current user)

could be confusing for people with literally a Fn key (laptops usually)

Hello @guillopachecoifconfig’ is not installed per default on manjaro. But ‘nmcli’ should be available for everyone. :wink:

post updated, @andreas85 wiki - CheatSheet - Manjaro

Good as info, impossible to use as desktop wallpaper (for me) cause desktop icons presence and represents recent and constant working files/folders on the Desktop.
Could be useful for users who have no working files/folders on their Desktop and have to access them in more complicated way instead of instant and having list of them constantly immediately.

PS
Could be useful for those who have 2 monitors setup to show on second screen with no desktop icons on it.

maybe using virtual desktops, or activities can help you with that situation, we are free now in manjaro linux.

I agree with alven. It is the same reason why i don’t like and use conky. Putting up this in the wiki is a really nice idea :+1:

I actually have the cheatsheet as sticky notes, so i can change the wallpaper, or leave it random, theres the image, the text, the wiki… all covered

At copy and move operations source and target are in the wrong order:

cp [file] [target]

missing:

create symbolic link {{UserCmd|command=ln -s [target] [link]}}

outdated with systemd:

starts a daemon {{UserCmd|command=rc.d start [daemon]}}

stops a daemon {{UserCmd|command=rc.d stop [daemon]}}
restarts a daemon {{UserCmd|command=rc.d restart daemon}}

done
