How to rollback pacman updates in Arch Linux
Arch Linux is often praised for it’s bleeding edge software and rolling release model. We discuss these features more in depth in our article comparing Arch Linux and Manjaro. In addition to this praise, Arch Linux also has a reputation for being unstable. This reputation stems from the sometimes unpredictable nature of bleeding edge software. The latest software from upstream developers may contain bugs that were not apparent during initial testing. As a result, the risk is always present that updating with the package manager, pacman, may bring about unexpected results. These may include a specific piece of software no longer working properly (or at all) or even multiple applications or Desktop Environments no longer working as expected.

Install Lutris on Manjaro
Lutris is a game manager that can be run on Manjaro and other Linux distributions, and it does its job incredibly well. It has thousands of games in its catalog and works with very little fuss, allowing you to install games from the cloud and keep them up to date. Most games are “one click install” titles, meaning that you shouldn’t have to worry about fiddling with extra configuration to get a Windows game working on Linux. It just works.
You’ll need to have Wine on Manjaro in order to ensure a smooth experience with Lutris. The two work really well together, and that’s because the developers of Lutris also work directly with Wine staging. Since the Lutris developers already program their installers to use the most optimal settings possible, there’s no need to fool around with Winetricks or any of the usual Wine configuration utilities.
If you’ve already installed Manjaro and are ready to start gaming, follow along as we setup Lutris and its dependencies on our system.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to install Wine and dependencies
- How to install Lutris
- How to install a game on Lutris
Manjaro Linux kernel headers installation
A Linux kernel is the core of a Linux distribution and consists of three things: the kernel itself, the kernel’s headers, and the kernel’s extra modules. The kernel headers are used to define device interfaces. For example, they can be used to compile the module that controls your computer’s video card and driver.
The main reason you may find yourself needing to install kernel headers is if you are compiling kernel modules and need Linux to access and communicate with hardware as intended. Sometimes device drivers may require you to update the kernel headers on your system to function properly. Other times, there may be compatibility issues with new versions and you’ll need to roll back an update. The process for doing this can vary on each distribution, but in this guide we’ll be going over the steps specifically for Manjaro Linux. Continue reading to find out how to install kernel headers, check the version of installed kernel headers, and switch between kernel header versions on Manjaro.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- Linux API headers vs kernel headers
- Install or update kernel headers
- Switch between kernel header versions
How to install Java on Manjaro Linux
Many developers and programmers choose Manjaro because it’s one of the most user-friendly and feature-rich Linux distributions. In this guide, we go over the steps to install the Java Development Kit on Manjaro Linux.

Arch Linux and Manjaro only officially support the OpenJDK, as that is the non-proprietary version. However, the Oracle package can be installed from the AUR, as you’ll see shortly.
In this tutorial you will learn:
- How to install OpenJDK
- How to install Oracle Java SE Development Kit
- How to test Java installation
