Essentials of the Pacman package manager on Arch Linux, applicable to any Arch-based distro like Manjaro, EndeavorOS, Archcraft, etc.
I discuss mirrors, installing and removing packages, updating and when to update, searching both locally and on repositories, clearing cache, the Pacman config, installing an AUR helper, and more.
A useful ArchWiki article: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta
