You just need generate a arch repo using mirrorlist generator then paste it in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch, then refresh your database.

After that run pacman -Qm and you will see many manjaro packages that become foreign pacakges (Inlucing manjaro kernels) . Replace them with packages coming from artix / arch repos

Another way of getting arch mirrors is to install archlinux-mirrorlist which provides arch repo in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch automatically. If the file were already existed prior to installing it, the file is saved as /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch.pacnew

If I can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

So essential, where we are now and today, forget about copying the manjaro pacman files as in the instructions (and my original question) and to just cut and past a mirror file from the generator?  pacman can't create that mirror list on the command line?

Yes, that is if you want to switch your manjaro repo into arch repo

Sadly no, as pacman is just a package manager not a mirrorlist generator

I am removing the comment lines?  They are not in the original manjaro list.

linux412-ndiswrapper linux412-tp_smapi

what is this?

Those are modules for the 4.12 linux kernel. ndiswrapper is for some wifis and tp_smapi is a thinkpad extention of features for the kernel.

I am assuming you figured this out, but just in case you did not forget to mark this thread solved:

Yes, uncomment the server(s) you want from the countries you want and/or are closest to. The first uncommented server will be the first checked, then the next, then the next, in seqencial order of the uncommented servers listed.


Sorry for the delay, doing some catch up now.
