Just installed Arch in a VM, only used Mint for a few weeks before installing Arch. What should I do to learn it better?

>what can I do too learn it better
Have you tried using it?
Duh.
>>54761846
Yes, I'm installing some shits, adjusting others, but I want to go deeper.
>>54761877
Go balls deep anon
>>54761877
as in what? Arch isn't for learning linux, configuring your userspace won't teach you shit and using auto compile scripts. Get a book on linux internals or install linux from scratch, or learn C and learn the linux API, write LKM, etc.

if you're not familiar with linux, go back to mint and read the bible:

when you're done, come back and memorize this wiki page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/creating_packages
go through your `pacman -Q`, read and understand the manpages of all the core packages.
go through again and read and understand the source code of each package
read the linux kernel source
good luck anon

>>54762373
Linux from Scratch LOL
>>54761801
Install Gentoo now and learn about GNU/Linux with it instead.
Just install Debian and call it a day, OP. Seriously.

this
people think arch is some magical linux master class. its just an OS like any other. I use arch because its fairly simple and it does what I want it to do.
