> I'm on Manjaro

Of course, I'm not here to tell you how to use your computer, and it's 
great that you're using Linux, but I'd suggest that you look into 
installing Arch Linux proper.

Arch Linux isn't as difficult as people make it out to be (I'd argue 
that anyone who's had to deal with the Calamares installer has seen 
worse), and it's hugely rewarding as it gives you a fundamental overview 
of how your system operates and what makes it tick, since you need to 
install it yourself manually.

Plus, Manjaro holds back packages by about a month or so, sometimes 
more, which breaks AUR packages, which are designed around Arch Linux's 
packages, which are newer. On top of this, the Manjaro team just can't 
be trusted with basic things like not having their SSL certs expire on 
their website (this has happened half a dozen times in the past, which 
is embarassing, given that things like certbot make installing a 
certificate the easiest thing in the world).

Again, I'm not some power hungry elitist Arch Linux shill or whatever, 
it's your computer, use it how you want, these are just my suggestions. 
Don't say I didn't warn you though :)
