Feat. req: please support Manjaro linux with NAME="Manjaro Linux" #142
Description
Hello, I tried and failed to install zerotier on Manjaro linux (based on Arch), and figure it might be easy to support since it is based on Arch and you seem to support Arch (i think?). I've included my /etc/os-relasE. I've forgotten how I installed it as while I can launch the GUI with /usr/bin/zerotier-gui there are "display issues" im using KDE and x11. Pretty sure in the past I was able to get the tunnel using user session and GUI manually. Its odd though cos most of the time i zerotier running as daemon each boot (on other systems not this onem my workstation). I guess that happens as part of a succesful install by root. I think this time I tried doing everything as user.
Oddly, it seems I have some items in /usr/bin.
CLI: Running as root my join command fails.
zerotier-one seems to freeze at starting control plane (only tried just now).
I don't think I used brew. I might have just copied files into /usr/bin manually.
I think I remembered how I installed it probably with 'paru' AUR manager. (See below) probably I used paru -S followed by a GUI option below but I just checked and zerotier is not listed as installed using so I should probably do paru -S zerotier-gui-git now and ideally prior to filing this issue (sorry!) if this yields greatly positive benefits I will come back and update this issue what I find.
Update: still haves at zerotier-one.
pacman -Qqe | grep zero
zerotier-gui-git
paru -S zerotier-gui-git

- Probably I should do a reinstall of the OS and try again using a root daemon instead as user GUI.
- I should uninstall zerotier-gui-git and try zerotier-gui perhaps
- Maybe I will ditch paru and try reinstall with pacman as this is better for root type installs.
