Установка окружения рабочего стола
Обзор
Для Manjaro доступно несколько окружений рабочего стола и оконных менеджеров, каждый из которых имеет свой собственный уникальный стиль, интерфейс и возможности. Более того, при желании можно установить несколько окружений, которые можно выбрать на экране входа в систему в любое время. Пользователи не ограничены тем, что поставляется с предустановленной версией Manjaro.
Среды рабочего стола
Стоит отметить, что среда рабочего стола (DE) не является единым целым; на самом деле это набор различных компонентов, работающих вместе. Обычно она включает в себя:
- менеджер окон для отображения, перемещения и изменения размеров окон приложений
- файловый менеджер для визуального просмотра, копирования и доступа к файлам и т.д.
- поставщик фона для отображения обоев и т.д.
- панель для создания меню и отображения информации, например, времени.
- менеджер настроек/конфигураций для изменения внешнего вида среды
и т.д. Большинство сред рабочего стола также поставляются со своими собственными приложениями, в дополнение к различным виджетам, дополнениям и расширениям для обеспечения дополнительных возможностей. Поэтому после ввода в терминале команд, приведенных ниже, для загрузки и установки окружения рабочего стола, Вам может быть предложено выбрать из предложенных компонентов. Для установки полного окружения рабочего стола - с собственным файловым менеджером, приложениями и т.д.
Там, где доступны дополнительные (и необязательные) дополнения к окружению рабочего стола, также приведены команды терминала для их получения.
Некоторые важные сведения об установке пакетов настроек Manjaro:
- Пакеты настроек Manjaro содержат темы и настройки, чтобы сделать рабочий стол таким же, как в ISO Manjaro.
- Они имеют соглашение об именовании manjaro-<desktop>-settings, т.е. manjaro-xfce-settings.
- Они используют общие файлы, поэтому одновременно можно установить только один.
- Если вы переходите с gnome - вы должны удалить мета-пакет manjaro-gnome-assets перед установкой пакета настроек для другого рабочего стола.
Риски при использовании нескольких DE
Установка нескольких DE не лишена рисков. Вот некоторые вещи, которые могут возникнуть при запуске более чем одной DE:
- Пакеты настроек пересекаются, поэтому вы можете иметь только одну DE, предварительно настроенную на тематику Manjaro. Остальные должны быть настроены вручную.
- Вы можете получить несколько экземпляров одинаковых приложений. Например, часто бывает, что в конечном итоге работают два менеджера Bluetooth. Чтобы заставить один менеджер работать в нескольких DE, его нужно немного подправить.
- Иногда две разных DE используют одни и те же конфигурационные файлы, что приводит к странным вещам, особенно с темами.
Эти риски значительно снижаются, если для каждой DE использовать отдельную учетную запись пользователя.
В целом, запуск нескольких DE возможен и является отличным способом насладиться Manjaro, но это требует готовности к устранению неполадок и решению мелких проблем. Если Вы относитесь к тому типу людей, которые хотят, чтобы "все работало из коробки", запуск нескольких DE может быть не для вас.
Xfce
Xfce или XFCE, произносится как четыре отдельные буквы, является легкой и универсальной средой рабочего стола, использующей классическое выпадающее/всплывающее меню для доступа к приложениям. Она также совместима с Compiz. Также потребуется немного времени и усилий, чтобы правильно настроить рабочий стол в соответствии с личными предпочтениями. 64-битная установка Manjaro под управлением Xfce использует около 390 МБ памяти. Начиная с версии 18, Manjaro перешел на gtk3 версию Xfce.

Enlightenment, sometimes known simply as E, is a lightweight desktop environment known for its configurability and tools for creating beautiful user interfaces using its Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). E started in 1997 as a stacking window manager, emerging as a desktop environment since development release version 0.17. E does not come with a broad array of tools by default, which can be an advantage for experienced users who want to customize their installation, and a disadvantage for users with little or no experience of Linux. E uses a few unique terms, for example referring to panels as “shelves”. A 64-bit installation of E uses about 160M of memory.

LXDE
LXDE is a super-lightweight desktop environment that is very similar to XFCE, with the exception that it is not compatible with Compiz. As with XFCE, LXDE is also a somewhat basic desktop environment, lacking some modern features that would be expected, such as a search-bar to find applications and files. However, due to comparatively low resource requirements, it is also an excellent choice for less powerful computers.

Window Managers
Although desktop environments commonly provide a good range of customisation options to suit personal taste and preference, they may still be seen as somewhat restrictive or controlled in the sense that they merely allow for the personalisation of their pre-defined components. However, certain Window Managers (WM) empower users to take a 'do it yourself' approach in order to create their own desktop environments. In essence, they may be used as a foundation on which to build upon, as literally every component and every aspect of the desktop is under the direct control and choice of the user. An environment may be as elaborate or as minimalistic as desired, and it is even possible to mix and match various components from other desktop environments.
Therefore extremely powerful and versatile, these window managers also carry the additional benefit of being faster and more resource efficient than pre-defined desktop environments. Interestingly, the super-lightweight LXDE environment is itself built on the Openbox window manager. There are two types of Window Manager: Stacking and Tiling. These names denote how application windows will behave on your desktop.
Stacking Window Managers
Stacking window managers are by far the most popular, and essentially allow application windows to be moved freely around the screen, which may overlap - or 'stack' - upon one another, hence the name. All popular desktop environments such as Xfce, KDE Plasma and GNOME use stacking window Managers.
Openbox
Openbox is by far the most popular Window Manager available. Due to its popularity there is excellent documentation available, as well as a good choice of additional themes that may be downloaded. To install Openbox, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S openbox
To install a logout script, configuration application, menu-editor, and extra themes for Openbox, enter the following command:
sudo pacman -S oblogout obconf lxappearance-obconf-gtk3 obmenu openbox-themes-extra
Optional: Install the Manjaro configuration, theming, and tools for Openbox
sudo pacman -S oblogout-manjaro manjaro-openbox-config manjaro-openbox-scripts manjaro-openbox-fonts matcha-gtk-theme
FluxBox
FluxBox is another popular Window Manager. It is particularly notable for providing some features not seen in Openbox, such as tabbing, which allows for windows to be grouped together. To install FluxBox, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S fluxbox
Optional: Install the newsfetcher and workspace pager for Fluxbox
sudo pacman -S fbnews fluxter
Optional: Install the Manjaro configuration, theming, and tools for Fluxbox
sudo pacman -S fbmenu-manjaro oblogout-manjaro artwork-fluxbox fluxboxtheme-manjaro
IceWM
IceWM is a Window Manager notable for perhaps being closer to a full desktop environment than Openbox or FluxBox. This includes providing a panel complete with menu, in addition to a workspace switcher. To install IceWM, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S icewm
To install a suite of tools and themes specifically for IceWM, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S icewm-utils icewm-themes
Tiling Window Managers
Tiling window managers - as the name would suggest - tile application windows; each will have their own place on the screen, just like conventional tiles do not overlap. However, unlike conventional tiling, these window managers are usually very flexible, and allow for a multitude of different tiling patterns to suit personal taste and preference. Where stacking window managers focus on using the mouse for navigation, tiling window managers focus on the utilisation of the keyboard instead. As such, they can be much faster to use.
Awesome
Awesome is a popular tiling Window Manager, notable for using the Lua language for configuration. To install Awesome, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S awesome
To install some extra widgets for Awesome, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S vicious
Alternatively you can install the Awesome Community Edition.
i3
i3 is arguably the most popular tiling window manager available, and notable for using a single, completely self-contained configuration file. To install i3, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S i3-wm
To install a status bar and screen-locker for i3, enter the command:
sudo pacman -S i3lock i3status
