Manjaro provides its own distribution-specific tools such as the Manjaro Hardware Detection (mhwd) utility, and the Manjaro Settings Manager (msm).

Run automatically during the installation process, it allows for Manjaro to work fully on your system 'straight out of the box', without the need to manually identify and install the necessary drivers or to manually edit the appropriate configuration files. Also usable via the terminal after installation, the features of the mhwd command include:

  • The choice of free (i.e. open-source) or non-free (i.e. proprietary) drivers
  • Identification and listing (general or detailed) of your system's hardware
  • Identification and listing (general or detailed) of installed drivers
  • Listing of available drivers for installation (free and proprietary)
  • Support of hybrid graphics cards (e.g. Nvidia Optimus)
  • Easy removal and installation of drivers (selected automatically, or you can identify and choose your own)
