Manjaro Linux – the popular Linux distribution that’s based on Arch Linux uses pacman as it’s command line package manager. So installation/removal of software packages in Manjaro is different than in Linux Mint or Ubuntu which uses apt.
[By the way, a cool feature about Manjaro is it’s rolling updates release. That means it is always updated without having to reinstall/upgrade from older versions. Whatever system updates are pushed, it automatically upgrades to the latest version.]
It too does have many of the popular packages. Here is how to install the popular Opera browser directly from terminal :
