Hi, I’m a new Manjaro user, trying to set up my texmaker to use native texlive from TUG, hoping to replace the preloaded tex.
I have installed native texlive following instructions from Quick install - TeX Live - TeX Users Group and following the instructions on TeX Live - ArchWiki
I appended the path by adding this line to ~/.zshrc using kate. I’m not sure if this is the right place, and I also am not sure if MANPATH and INFOPATH are critical, haven’t added these yet.
path+=/usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux

I am trying to get Manjaro to switch to using the native live so that texmaker will recognize native live install instead. I tested this example first on Overleaf using divps via latex compiler instead of pdflatex, which compiled. When I was using texmaker locally, I see the following log:

How do I go about migrating to native tex install? I tried uninstalling the texlive that came prepackaged with Manjaro and (thankfully) it warned me that
