sotp using this fucking gui shit
learn how to use your system
and understand how the fucking installer works you fucking tryhard neckbeards
Please learn how punctuation works.
Not everyone has infinite time to waste.

Up your nose with a rubber hose, dweeb.

> learn how to use your system
kek, you dont need to install arch to learn how your system works, just build a lfs system a few times and thats it, you learn shit using arch, lfs or at least gentoo
>>53541469
and after that just return to using normal/stable distros instead of wasting your time

Let's get over the meme that a text based install requires any more thinking or understanding than a gui install.
Running pacstrap from the guide is the same as clicking next.
>>53541341
okay.
What DE should I use?
Convince me for not using KDE

Okay you tryhard fag I'm trying rn
What desktop should I select? Please help

Are you running a plex server? If so on what?
>>53541796
OK; Don't use KDE
>>53541933
What do you suggest?
>>53541922
Running it on my (that) Arch box
netbooting a kernel, manually partitioning, and using arch-get
wow so hard

I used mate up until yesterday, switched to cinnamon, don't know why but think I'll stick with it. Pretty comfy. Just my 2 cents.
KDE is just bloated buggy shit
>>53541982
>bloated
Fully featured*
Daily reminder arch is a trojan upon the linux world tricking users into a false sense if knowing what works under the hood but in fact know shit, so lennart and his red hat buddies can implement backdoors unscathed
>>53541982
Also, I would've used cinnamon but it's no where near the complete environment of KDE
>>53541902
Xfce
>>53542016

KDE is heavy as fuck in itself.

You can't set up Cinnamon though, it's stiffer than a virgin's cock on a nude beach.

Low disc space? Also, Does cinnamon/muffin have this?
>>53542107
I've set up cinnamon just fine. What do you mean?
>>53541341
This is why Arch is toxic on /g/.
>>53542119
>low disk space?
huh?
With regards to your SS, I'm not entirely sure, I've not looked into it. I don't think so though.
>>53542128
>setting up Cinnamon
What did it entail? Moving the panel to the top of the screen?
>>53542141
It's a bait by a winnigger
>>53542151
No, see >>53541841
I meant installing shit that I need, rather than uninstalling shit I don't like I would have to do with KDE. Cinnamon is way less bloated initially.
>>53542111
Running a VM for torrent use only. VM uses a VPN, host doesn't.
>>53542225
>>53542150
Can you still move the panel to the right/left?
>>53542225
What I see is a stock Cinnamon setup, you haven't even touched the panel icons.
>rather than uninstalling shit I don't like I would have to do with KDE. Cinnamon is way less bloated initially.
Then install just Plasma 5 instead of the KDE metapackage.
>>53542255
At the moment, in Cinnamon (or any Gtk3 based DE) you can't. Although there's a fresh pull request for that.
>>53542261
>plasma 5
I'll check it out. Though at the moment, what I've got is what I need. The actual "setup", in regards to packages, isn't stock. If you mean ricing, that's not my thing
>>53542289
Good to know. I used to use Cinnamon, it's pretty comfy. But KDE is just more feature rich.
>>53542323
Also, fuck gtk. Move over to Qt

Stay classy faggots.
>>53542323
It's also more bug rich. And with their current approach to fixing them we might get a stable version of KDE5 sometime in 2025. Of course, that's when Qt6 gets released and the whole code rewritten from scratch...
Xfce is where DEs are (still) really at.
>>53542340
Qt has dogshit hotkey handling, only KDE makes it bearable
>>53542035
>Implying Arch user's dont audit every line of code they use on their system
>>53542373
At this point KDE4 is quite stable, honestly. I like Plasma but i'll wait till it is stable enough to get into debian stable repository.
No one forces me to upgrade here on linux, I'll stick to kubuntu 14.04 for a long time.
Also I hope KDE neon is a step towards the right direction. Because only KDE ecosystem can compete with windows in terms of features. GNOME is ruined by the prajeets at Red Hat

Why dont you use debÃan?

It's also 2 years old and even slower than 5, and misses some quite obvious features like a search function in the application menu. Also for Windows feels, KDE pinned taskbar icon function is pretty damn weak (though at least it's there), Xfce can do it better.
>>53542482
You mean thumbnails when selecting a picture to upload to shitty websites like 5chin?

The wiki doesn't explain GRUB very well. I still don't know how the hell to install Arch as my second Linux distro in dual-boot. I've got a 30g volume just sitting there with an unusable Arch install. I'm lost on what to do with a prior Debian install on disk.
Doesgrub-installafter installingos-proberupdate the already installed GRUB, or am I completely wrong there?
>>53542545
>I have a different opinion
It's literally the reason why they made a new KDE in the first place
>But there is
Where?
>>53542504
Yes anon, can you zoom in the previews?
>>53542584
Right click on the application launcher, switch to applications menu style.
Simple
Don't mind my theme config, I'm testing out new ones atm
>>53542586
Why would I need to zoom in on the previews?
>>53542624
Because you don't have to scroll and see each of 1k+ memes individually
>>53542617
Applications menu style is generally dogshit though.
KDEfag signing out. I'll be late for my work
Learning the system is pointless and unnecessary. Arch is the stick shift of operating systems.
>>53542668
>I'll be late for my work
Exactly, time to stop playing with toys and boot to a functional desktop environment.
>>53542645
Ahhhh, gotcha. Ok well guess you've got me there. I'm sure there's some way to sort it though.
>>53542699
Damn, microshills. You gotta take every single chance for the rupees

Arch is a meme.
These are the distros used outside mommy's basement:
Red Hat/CentOS
Debian
Ubuntu
Fedora
Gentoo
>>53542699
>Boot to a DE
>>53542751
Not him, but XFCE has done me good. Only thing is trouble with desktop specific apps like Okular, but CoolReader works great and there's a decent replacement for just about everything else, so that doesn't really matter to me.
>>53542804
Used Ubuntu, then OpenSUSE (both years ago), then Mint, then Ubuntu (recently), then Debian, then Arch, then Fedora.
I'm now back to Arch because it's the best distro (IMO) out of the bunch.
I Installed it the "proper" way 3 times before switching to Fedora. Then used Architect yesterday because I needed my system up and running ASAP. Literally no fucking difference to installing it "properly".
Arch is great. First time I had it, I had it for a couple of weeks. It fucked up less times in those 2 weeks than Fedora did in 3 days.
>>53542805
Fug of :DDDD
Just installed arch on Macbook Pro mid 2010.
I'm using only using awesome window manager with compton composition manager and chromium and the cpu is already getting hot. Why does this happen? OS X can easily handle several tabs without the fans going wild. Should I scale down the cpu? I am satisfied with the RAM usage
i only use my system for shit posting
why should I understand it
>>53542583
It's easy enough. You only need to know that if you have os-prober you can just install grub and make a config file for it. after you reboot your other os's will be missing but just boot to Arch, run mkconfig again, and you're all set.
>>53542969
Thanks, anon.

Wowwww, I learned so much
>>53543087
That's hardly true and you know it. You're not far off, but that statement is pretty much bollocks.
>>53543136
I'll concede a bit.
>you can set up networks manually using config files
>you understand how different WMs might work
>you learn about font rendering maybe
>a dash of git?
I ran out of ideas.
>>53543189
Prime example; Before installing arch I never knew what xinitrc done, or even existed.
With Arch one's introduced to it by force.
>>53543239
Except configuring xinitrc is usually just done as a timesink. It's not a useful skill outside of really niche hobbyist scenarios.
>>53543281
You cleary know more about this than I.
Alll I'll say is I learned more than I initially knew by installing Arch than I did before doing so. I suppose mainly becuase the wiki explains why you're doing it, not just how.
But granted, installing arch doesn't make one a Linux god, as some people imply.
>>53541469
Wallpaper?

is anyone having trouble using arch with bspwm?
updated yesterday and it kinda broke lol
there was another update today and still didn't fix it
not looking for help, just wanna know if I'm alone in this problem
