Notes from running Manjaro linux on MBP (early 2015)

• ✅ Run in docked mode. (laptop lid closed, external monitor ON)
  • When using KDE plasma version, this can be done easily via "Energy Settings" option
  • Choose Do nothing option for Lid Closed
  • Can also be done for XFCE by updating /etc/systemd/logind.conf (I did not have success)
  • Uncomment HandleLidSwitch option (Google for exact details)
• Install Hyper Terminal
  • ❌ Using pamac UI or enabling AUR did not help. It failed eventually
    • To be fair, they suggested aurman which I did not use.
  • ✅ Using AppImage downloaded from their website worked
  • Also installed nord-hyper theme
  • Ctrl+, to open config file
