Manjaro Linux (KDE Plasma) Daily Use and Common Software Installation

Because ThinkBook 16+ uses AMD Ryzen 6000 series CPU, keyboard malfunction occurs under Linux Kernel 6, showing continuous keypresses or freezing after pressing keys. Also installing Debian and derivatives causes boot errors, which is inconvenient for scenarios like mine with frequent system switching, so I temporarily switched to Manjaro Linux.

System environment: Version: Manjaro Linux (Kernel 6.1.11) Desktop environment: KDE Plasma 5.26.5

Common software: Chrome Beta Visual Studio Code Remmina FileZilla DBeaver VMware Workstation 17 Pro Joplin XMind WPS Office WeChat QQ/TIM Sogou Input Method Dr.Web Beta Motrix easystroke (Linux Mouse Gestures)

After Manjaro Linux installation, first connect to network using mobile hotspot (USB connection), then download and install wireless network card driver, ThinkBook 16+ Linux Wireless Network Card Driver. If GitHub is inaccessible or slow in China, please use GitHub China Mirror. Common software can be installed using system’s built-in Pamac package manager (convenient for editing and replacing when some addresses are inaccessible), or install via terminal.
