To chroot

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with an LTS kernel.

  2. Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive.

  3. When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.

  4. Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot encironment:

manjaro-chroot -a
  1. If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

When done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart.

  1. Perform a full, complete system upgrade:
pamac upgrade --enable-downgrade
  1. Exit the chroot environment
exit
  1. And reboot 
reboot

Hold your thumbs and cross your heart.

If it works, feel free to heap on the praise. If not, well, then I think I’m not here.
