Summary
In this chapter, we started with an overview of processes, daemons, and how to inspect those running on our system. We then investigated systemd’s basic concepts and got deeper into init sequence analysis and service management with systemctl. After that, we briefly reviewed the virtual Linux consoles. We then explored the usage of journalctl and system logs, with detailed explanations and examples. Finally, we delved into the critical topic of user management, groups, and ownership settings to learn how to manage any user and file.
In the next chapter, we will continue our journey by learning how to optimize such a clean and effective distribution as Manjaro. We will also investigate how to use inxi and get specific system state reports when problems arise. We will finish the chapter with a short explanation of how to keep our home partition when reinstalling.
