Tips using Manjaro
Set swappiness value
The default swappiness value is set 60 as you can check it via the following command: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
The bigger the value is, the more active Linux will use swap.
To let the system use RAM actively, you could reduce the value in the following way:
vim /etc/sysctl.conf
and put in the following content:
vm.swappiness=20
Then use command sudo systemctl -p
to let it take effect.
Install trizen - the aur package installation tool
For sure it is better than yaourt. 😃
sudo pacman -S trizen
Install Microsoft and Mac fonts
There is an english fonts package called 'ttf-ms-fonts' in aur. Just use
trizen -S ttf-ms-fonts ttf-mac-fonts ttf-monaco
to install it.
And here is some other fonts:
