So instead of using only tor when using tor browser, I can use tor while using firefox, the command line, etc.
I use Manjaro Cinnamon.
I know I’ll have to be careful with emails and some other applications that aren’t encrypted.
It’s not generally recommended.
It increases your fingerprintability and your end-to-end correlation. It will leak unless you have a tightly controlled firewall policy. It can strain the network depending of what you’re doing. You lose all the isolation of the Tor Browser.
There is already Tails and Whonix for system-wide Tor usage.
Don’t take my word for it:

I just install “tor” package in Debian-based OSes and, ensure that the “tor” service is started and configure the applications I want to use “tor” by setting their proxy configuration to Socks 5 in 127.0.0.1 IP with 9050 port if they allow it.
I only connect to it with specific programs

What archtorify does is it sets up iptables and a systemd service so that everything goes by default through tor. Installation shown in wiki.
What would happen if I use tor browser while using archtorify? I find it helpful to be able to change the tor circuit with a button. I wish there was something like that in firefox when using torify.
