I'm used to Ubuntu and Linux Mint, and furthermore, I'm familiar with 'sudo apt-get (install/autoremove/purge/etc.)' I tried out Manjaro (KDE) for the first time on a virtual machine and I liked it. However I think the whole terminal language thing isn't similar to that of Ubuntu/Mint. Can anyone help me? What is this sorcery?
Thank you :3
NP. And yeah, arch is kind of special.
Most distros I know of usually base their commands off of basic English. Arch uses rather obscure words to base its commands off of. Its definitely not intuitive.

Apart from the package manager, everything else is the same these days.
Pacman is fairly simple. Keep in mind though, it will not warn you about breakages (this is rare though if its always up to date), and it will not prompt or replace new config files. (there saved as .pacnew)

mostly it's just
sudo pacman -S [package]
itt'll ask if you want to modify the package, hit N, and it'll build. you'll see comments from people in order to know if something's broken, or if it needs something else to work.
