manjaro
Posted December 6, 2024 ‐ 1 min read
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
