All the Manjaro Builds!

[preflex]

I tried the lomiri Alpha 1 and it is super snappy, which I expected as that was my experience with UBPorts, but it's a hopelessly closed system. there doesn't look to be any work to even port over libertine to get X11 apps working, and there's only like 8 apps (weather crashes, and the calendar doesn't even get added to the menu. I haven't found any other method of finding apps that work in lomiri, other than a pacman -Ss lomiri

installing an X11 app (for instance, Firefox) results in some weird split window thing where one window is the title of the app, and the other window is titled /usr/lib/appname and both are empty.

this might be a viable solution if there were more apps, and/or Anbox worked in it.

Other than using the Lomiri DE, Manjaro is nothing like UBPorts.  

Libertine is not needed at all.  You can just pacman -S whatever you want.  The rootfs is r/w by default.  XWayland is included.

Firefox is launching with wayland by default, and that's not displaying correctly.  If you launch it in XWayland, it displays fine, but the keyboard has issues.  Just do

Code:

GDK_BACKED=x11 DISPLAY=:0 MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox

You may need to manually launch Xwayland first. If you launch it from the built-in terminal app, you will have problems with mir suspending your terminal when it loses focus.  This will stop that silliness:

Code:

gsettings set com.canonical.qtmir lifecycle-exempt-appids "['com.ubuntu.music', 'ubuntu-terminal-app']"
