Uses Linux for the first time

Installs Arch

That’s the way. Nothing improves the experience on Linux as much as a bit of learning curve. You may go with easy few clicks setup distro and then once you stumble upon any issue you’re clueless. Besides, Arch is much easier to understand than something like Ubuntu.

Your waifu is cute 🥰

LOL I don't know who that is, but when I found this artwork on Wallheaven after scrolling for an hour I thought she's pretty cute and she probably the type who use Arch on daily basis

I love your attitude lol

Nice, that's a clean looking setup! Gotta love how flexible Plasma is.

Side note, losing write access to one's own home directory sounds traumatic lol, even more so when you're new to Linux. Glad you stuck with it anyway!

Haha, I lose my write access because my dumbass trying to setup SFTP and somehow screwed it all up now I'm using SMB which is much easier to setup than SFTP

Fair enough, no judgement here either way! Unix permissions can be daunting going in, I know I've struggled with them quite a bit back when I was learning 😅

Very nice. I've been daily driving KDE for 20 years and only changed the default wallpaper once or twice.

Nice! Makes me wanna leave xfce for a while and try KDE. It's been like 8 years since the last time I tried it.

Since time how? Like you've been using it for how long?

2 weeks, this is my first time using arch for real

arch for real

First lesson, you're supposed to say "arch btw"

You've made a good choice. Arch is the way.
