Any recommendations for where, how, or why to learn more about using Manjaro(or linux) i’ll gladly accept!

My recommendation: experience! There’s no teacher like it!

I guess i’ll be using Manjaro for a while then ~

You can find tons of manuals here

@learning-bakpao

and after my hard drive broke,

Open a new topic here: #support and mention your HD broke down previously and provide the output to smartctl --all /dev/XdY Where X and Y denominate your HDD letter (unless it broke down completely and you replaced it with another one, in which case you can ignore this notice)

Thank you! I have some reference for a starting line now

I assume it broke down completely since I couldn’t access the partitions anymore from a live session. Got a new HDD with double the memory now~

Start with Timeshift - daily snapshots on another drive - then play with it as much as you like knowing you can restore it.

[HowTo] make a crash-proof backup for Manjaro

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ A few things you need to know about backups: One copy does not constitute a good backup! Backing up is not about the backup itself, it’s all about the easy and fast restore! Backup files should be stored on an external disk that gets connected to the system only during a backup or restore cycle so that RansomWare cannot encrypt your backup when it stumbles into your system through wine ¹ Alternatively, you can use a NAS directory that is protected by a password and that get…

Hi everyone!

New user saying hi!

I decided upon donating to Arch Linux and Manjaro by setting up a repo mirror. Will post a topic in the development area with all the details.

[Snubbi]

Hello everyone
I am now back after about 6 years break. Just installed MATE today.

[Coenraad]

Greetings from South Africa. Many thanks to all the Manjaro kingpins and the support community. I renamed my Manjaro partition to “Bromponie” which translates to motorcycle. Fast, beautiful and dependable…

[JulianVickers]

Coenraad, I think you’ll love it here. It’s hands down the friendliest and most supportive Linux community I’ve seen.

Welcome!

[Coenraad]

Thanks Julian, I installed Manjaro when many left for MX (can’t remember how long ago ). I was expecting it to break down, but it turned out to be rock solid. Today I deleted most other systems to increase my Manjaro partition size. I realized that I was using it 99% of the time anyway…

[Mirdarthos]

@Coenraad

which translates to motorcycle

Nope. To "scooter*. Motorcycle is "motorfiets.*

Moet nou nie dat ek Afrikaanse lesse moet gee hier nie!

[ceres]

Hi,
I’m from Turkey, not-so-new Manjaro user. I just like Manjaro because it reminds me the book The Snows of Kilimanjaro, Ernest Hemingway whenever I said Manjaro. Its so silly that I want to share with you…

IIRC that’s what @philm named Manjaro after. After he summited it.

[ceres]

after the mount or the book?
edit: of course the mount.

[Mirdarthos]

@ceres

The mount. But not the mount.

Edit:

@ceres

Of. Course.

But not off.

I think it was rather Roland.

[Mirdarthos]

I plead ignorant.

So I might not have Recalled Correctly…

[Falav]

Roland was the founder of Manjaro. He let the lead to Phil some time later.

[Mirdarthos]

Aaah cool!

That, then!
