Most Linux distros use their own package manager, so don't assume they are all the same or you will be dissatisfied

I mean honestly, there has got to be a better way to install these deb files

Arch Linux doesn't use deb files. Whatever you are looking for is most likely in the AUR. So you can use yaourt or the package manager to search for the program

So for google chrome you would type in "yaourt google-chrome" or even just "yaourt google" and be able to install it that way.

I watched a youtube video with a dude with manjaro using the wget command to download stuff, so why doesn't that one work for me?

yum and yaourt also bring back "command not found"

Never tried Manjoro, most people say for a newcomer to Linux to use a Debian based distro as it is much more user friendly. It used apt (which I really like).

Debian bases are pretty friendly, but Arch bases feel more 'yours'
Also, afaik, you have to feed wget a url http://imgur.com/a/xdz84

Just gonna go with another version of the darn thing, since I'm too curious to give up, but too irked to troubleshoot this command not found crap. How's Mint Linux for newbies?

wget should be working since that's basically stock in every linux distro.
And yum won't work either. What program are you trying to install?

Mint Linux is honestly the best for newcomers(in my experience), I found Mint easier to use then any other Debian based distro. It's super polished.

Eh, I'll just make a Mint USB thing, see how that works out. Also, I couldn't for the life of me get my speakers to work with Manjaro. It looks slick, but there's too many issues for me!

Discord is in the AUR. I just typed "yaourt Discord" and it was the 3rd option. I think something might be broken with your build.

after 7 years (i got into linux on 2010 barely, and what you described was me back then) I have to say: you need some basic programming background for linux to make sense. Sockets, SSH, perl scripting, gnu make files, objects, source code, headers, tarballs. Otherwise stick to debian and use a GUI guided setup. Also try a Virtual machine environment with networking shit (internet)....

@Coto what distro did you use? Most people that use Arch don't even need to know that stuff haha.

plain and simple debian (or plebdebians like some say), better get used to set up packages as .deb first, THEN when you master the art of linking and compiling sources you may tweak your kernel sources as you wish....
