My help thread for everything [mostly basic stuff]

[timid trout]

Hi, if i need help [And i do need it often] im gonna write here

How do i save in nano?

[pallid haven]

Ctrl+s to save
Ctrl+x to exit

[timid trout]

Got it

[pallid haven]

.

[timid trout]

Because i don't see save on nano command list

So thats why i asked

Ok thanks

I cant exit

Cntrl x doesnt work

Ok nvm it did

Strange

[pallid haven]

feel free to mention

[timid trout]

What is that before x?

@pallid haven prepare to be mentioned often i guess

[timid trout]

How to type that

[celest stone]

It's a +

[timid trout]

Plus?

[pallid haven]

yeah

[timid trout]

Ok thanks!

[celest stone]

chmod +x

[timid trout]

Okay

[celest stone]

Allows a file to be executed

[pallid haven]

executable*?

[celest stone]

Yeah that

[timid trout]

Iuhh

Uhh

I've typed startx but they guy did an mistake so i have to come back

How to come back from the black screen?

I want to go back to the terminal because i have to use nano

[timid trout]

And my screen is black now

@pallid haven

@celest stone

[pallid haven]

I don't much about bspwm
But you can try exiting bspwm if you can type some command that can exist bspwm in terminal

OR

you can try switching tty

[timid trout]

Screen is literally black

There was a shortcut

To come back to terminal

But i don't remember it

Somebody told me it before

Switch something or smth

Well

Uhhhhhh

Let me restart my pc maybe

[celest stone]

Change to another terminal, control f3

[timid trout]

Doesn't work

[celest stone]

Hmm I guess restart

[pallid haven]

ctrl+alt+f3

[timid trout]

This!

Thanks

[celest stone]

Ah I knew I was forgetting something

Werid how I remember the action but not the command itself

[timid trout]

Oh no fucking way

I changed the thing

But

My screen is still black after i run startx

Maybe it's an issue with drivers?

[pallid haven]

I don't really know about bspwm, I haven't used it

try if this helps

.aw bspwm

[quasi bobcat]

Arch Wiki: Bspwm

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bspwm

[timid trout]

There's nothing about black screen after startx on wiki

I mean

Oh wait

There is

[pallid haven]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bspwm#Troubleshooting

[timid trout]

Huh

"Make sure ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc is executable." HOW DO I MAKE SURE

[pallid haven]

try doing chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc

[timid trout]

Didn't i do that already?

[timid trout]

Here

Wtf cntrl alt f3 doesnt work

Time to reboot then i guess

[pallid haven]

you can switch ttys btw

[timid trout]

What's ttys

Huh

Startx still give's me a black screen...

[pallid haven]

plural of tty
ctrl+alt+f1 -> switches to tty1
ctrl+alt+f2 -> switches to tty2
ctrl+alt+f3 -> switches to tty3
and this goes until f12 probably

[timid trout]

Ok.

Tty 1 give's me a black screen

After i lauch startx

Same with the others

[pallid haven]

can you share the video you are referring to?

[timid trout]

It could be an issue with my driver but not sure

https://youtu.be/ySbrz-6vryY

9:52

[pallid haven]

did you install xorg-server?

pacman -S xorg-server

[timid trout]

Let me try

[pallid haven]

can you send the output of lspci -vnn | grep VGA here?

[timid trout]

No, i didn't

Just installed it

[pallid haven]

also install xorg-xinit

hmm

nvidia

I think startx works

[timid trout]

Its already installed

Nope, startx still gives me a black screen

[pallid haven]

can you try startx bspwm

[timid trout]

Sure, let me reboot

Nope, my screen is still black

[pallid haven]

did you select the nvidia drivers in archinstall?

[timid trout]

I didn't have option to

I selected minimal

But the guy in tutorial did a command

And it installed the driver i think

Something like sudo pacman -S nvidia nvidia-settings

I think

[pallid haven]

yeah

you need to manually install driver now

[timid trout]

How

[pallid haven]

.aw nvidia

[quasi bobcat]

Arch Wiki: Nvidia

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia

[timid trout]

I do have NVidia-utils installed

[pallid haven]

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils

[timid trout]

I did that already

[timid trout]

That was the command in tutorial

Should i type it again?

[pallid haven]

did you reboot after that?

[timid trout]

No

I've continued with tutorial

He didnt reboot either

Well let me -Rs NVidia NVidia-utils then

And -S nvidia nvidia-utils

Do i need reboot after them?

[pallid haven]

yes

[timid trout]

Done

My font is blurrier after install, seems like a low resolution

A VERY LOW resolution

[pallid haven]

yes, you need to manually set resolution

[timid trout]

How

[pallid haven]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xrandr

[timid trout]

I need to install it?

[pallid haven]

pacman -S xorg-xrandr

[timid trout]

Should i reboot after install?

[pallid haven]

no

[timid trout]

Seems like it was already installed

[pallid haven]

alright

[timid trout]

Ok. What now

[pallid haven]

run xrandr now

and send the output

it should show you all possible resolutions

[timid trout]

"Can't open display"

Darn ITS COMPLICATED

Uhhh

My native resolution is 2560x1440

144hz

I have free sync (gsync) turned on in my monitor settings (LOD or whatever its called)

[pallid haven]

you need to run startx first

[timid trout]

My screen is black as always

[pallid haven]

xrandr runs in X wm

[pallid haven]

even after installing drivers?

[timid trout]

Monitor changed resolution tho because it displayed a resolution change

[timid trout]

Yes

Literally now

[pallid haven]

can you try installing a display manager?

[timid trout]

Uh

You probably know my answer

how

[pallid haven]

pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter

or

[timid trout]

Wait i have to reboot

[pallid haven]

pacman -S sddm

once they are installed, run systemctl enable sddm or systemctl enable lightdm (for lightdm)

[timid trout]

They both?

Or which one

[pallid haven]

any one

[timid trout]

Which one's better?

Uh ill enable SDDM because i know the name from something

[celest stone]

It's from KDE

[pallid haven]

lightdm

[timid trout]

Too late

[pallid haven]

its fine

sddm works with almost everything

to enable it, run systemctl enable sddm

[pallid haven]

and reboot

[timid trout]

I need to run systemcdl with sudo, right?

[pallid haven]

yes

[timid trout]

Huh

[pallid haven]

but you are already running as root

[timid trout]

Ok it worked with sudo

So, reboot now?

[pallid haven]

yes

[timid trout]

What was the command for reboot?

[pallid haven]

if it is successful

[pallid haven]

reboot

[timid trout]

It created symlink

[pallid haven]

👍

[timid trout]

"Session - bspwm"

[pallid haven]

yes

[timid trout]

Let me login

It does nothing

Stuck

I can move cursour tho

But SDDM is stuck

[pallid haven]

thats normal

because you did not set a wallpaper

[timid trout]

Ok. What do i do now

[pallid haven]

wdym?

[timid trout]

Im stuck

So, what do i do now

Nothing works, only mouse cursour moves

Buttons doesnt react, keyboard doesnt work either

[pallid haven]

go to a tty

[timid trout]

Cntrl alt f2?

[pallid haven]

ctrl + alt + fwhatever

[timid trout]

Ok im in tty2

[pallid haven]

login

[timid trout]

Done

Startx?

[pallid haven]

and install (copy) the default configuration for bspwm:

install -Dm755 /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/bspwmrc ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc
install -Dm644 /usr/share/doc/bspwm/examples/sxhkdrc ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc

[timid trout]

In the tutorial the guy configured some bspwm files

Will it revert the changes

[timid trout]

Exactly those files

[pallid haven]

if you followed it, it will overwrite

[timid trout]

But i dont want to revert those changes

Cuz i want to follow the tutorial

[pallid haven]

rename them to something else for now then

[timid trout]

Do you know my answer lol

[pallid haven]

the convention is to append .bak after the file name

[timid trout]

Uh

What

Christ maybe ill go back to a DE

cuz WM's are so complicated lol

[pallid haven]

mv ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc.bak

mv ~/.config/sxhkdrc ~/.config/sxhkdrc.bak

[timid trout]

Uh

Wait.

What do i do now. I've just logged

The the 2nd one

How do i type the normal tilde

When i type tilde its the different one

The up one

Do you understand now why did i choose archinstall?
Lmao

Even if i followed the wiki with installing arch i would destroy it in the first minute probably somehow lol

Ok so

I've wasted 3 hours

Let me reinstall arch with archinstall, but i'll select awesome wm this time

Because many people recommend it on YouTube

And its selectable as a WM in archinstall

So i won't fuck anything

[celest stone]

Believe in yourself more lol

[timid trout]

I do

That will be my 11th arch install

I wasted 4 days for installing arch now

I wont give up tho

[timid trout]

It bricked 9 times, and now for the 10th time i just don't have any more patience to deal with bpmwm

[astral frigate]

its the same thing

its just the font that's different

[timid trout]

Seriously

Oh for fucks sake

I just wiped out my 10th install for nothing

4 hours lost this time

[timid trout]

@pallid haven

I've just installed arch with awesome

And

Uh

Is there any way to get a login manager?

Because from what i understand now

When i boot i have to login and startx

@celest stone

[livid bough]

sudo pacman -S sddm 
sudo systemctl enable sddm
sudo reboot

[timid trout]

Is that the kde one?

[livid bough]

Kdm?

[timid trout]

The login manager which is used in kde

Sorry, typo

[livid bough]

Don’t just randomly ping people. They are not obligated to (continue) help you with every issue you have.

[livid bough]

I think so, yes

I haven’t ever used KDE extensively

[timid trout]

.

Ok

[pallid haven]

it is called sddm

anyway, i will not spoonfeed you with commands to run

I think you should switch to beginner friendly distro for now

[livid bough]

You should start with something like Linux Mint or Pop!_OS.

Not Arch

[timid trout]

I did

I've used nobara, pop, zorin, mint, endavour, element and ubuntu before

[livid bough]

You didn’t take your time to learn with them, really use them, and do your research.

[timid trout]

Maybe, i guess

I REALLY used them tho

Im just not used to WM's

Today was my first time installing a WM

I usually go with gnome so

[timid trout]

I don't have much to config there

[livid bough]

If you just want to try a tiling WM, go ahead and try on one of those.

[timid trout]

I tried two

But seems like it's just not for me

I cant understand how these work and can't use them.
They are too complicated for me

[livid bough]

Tiling WMs? No, you just haven’t learned them yet.

[timid trout]

I spent a lot of time watching tuts on yt how to use them

[livid bough]

Nothing is too complicated, but you can’t just jump into the deep end. You must learn slowly and take your time.

[timid trout]

But when it comes to actually using it

I dont remember it then

And its an horrible experience for me

Idk ill just go back to a normal DE then

[livid bough]

i3 has good documentation and easy binds. If you’re going to use a WM at all, use that. Just do it on a distro you know, not changing everything all at once.

[timid trout]

The thing is that arch is the easiest for me somehow

I know it sounds strange

But

I can understand more stuff

[livid bough]

When I first started using Arch, I used XFCE because that’s what I’d always used. Then I moved to i3 after a bit.

[timid trout]

Than on other distros

So what do you say, xfce4?

I always wanted to try budgie or deepin

But people told me to not try them

So

[livid bough]

Do KDE. That seems to be what you know.

[timid trout]

You didnt read my messages which i sent yesterday

The point is

I want to try something other than kde and gnome

And other than cinnamon and mate [cuz i've used them and they were awfull]

[livid bough]

Then yea, try XFCE

[timid trout]

Is the xfce 4 the newest one?

[livid bough]

I stand by saying that you should probably stay with an easier distro though

Yes

XFCE is like Debian, it doesn’t update often

[timid trout]

Oh, then its not for me

I want a rolling release you know

What about lxqt?

[livid bough]

I gtg for a test

[timid trout]

Cya then

[bleak saddle]

what part did you not like? be specific

[timid trout]

Generally everything

Layout, provided programs and stuff

And their design

[bleak saddle]

def sound like you need a WM then

.aw window_manager

[quasi bobcat]

Arch Wiki: Window manager

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Window_manager

[bleak saddle]

heres a good list of a lot of window managers for wayland and X as well as an explanation of diff types of WMs

choose a few then we can try installing, also mayb3 check out unixporn they have a lot of cool setups maybe you want to copy one of theirs

[pallid haven]

@timid trout Have you settled down?

[timid trout]

@pallid haven what do you think on garuda linux?

Just downloading it, seems like it will be the one for me

[pallid haven]

garuda linux is more bloated than endeavouros

[sharp raven]

why not arch?

[timid trout]

I've bricked it 10 times in the span of 3 days

So i finally gave up on normal arch

[timid trout]

But it has some cool stuff

Let me just try it

And we'll see

[I'll see]

Endavour is shit btw

[pallid haven]

why do you think its shit?

[timid trout]

You know what i need?

It bricked itself 3 times when i tried to install it lol

God bless that i had arch on ventoy

[pallid haven]

WHY IS IT BRICKING!!!?????

[timid trout]

You won't believe what am i now

[timid trout]

I dont know!!

[pallid haven]

Nothing bricks unless you did something seriously wrong

[timid trout]

Yeah. So i did something seriously wrong

10 times with arch

3 times with endavour

[timid trout]

During a fucking installation with setup

i'm on archcraft rn btw

but it's not for me

i need a pre-customized arch install with a WM or a SERIOUSLY GOOD CUSTOMIZED gnome

so thats why ill try garuda

[pallid haven]

basically endeavouros can do that

[timid trout]

i've already broken some stuff and dependiences while trying to uninstall music daemon

lol

[timid trout]

yeah but i can't install it lmao

[timid trout]

login manager doesn't work [i've managed to destroy it somehow lol]

and i have to start with startx

look at my usb speed

NO FUCKING WAY 5MB/PS

Uhhh its stuck

[sharp raven]

bricked.

RIP

[timid trout]

Wait what

Ok its finished again

What should i do then

Wait?

[timid trout]

YOOO

I've turned it on with open source drivers and it worked

[timid trout]

What is pentesting software?

What should i select?

Bruh

[pallid haven]

sigh

What are we dealing with here

[timid trout]

Ok lets go

This tab

I mean not 1st but...u get what i mean

[fallen rose]

pentesting software is stuff you would use for pentesting

[timid trout]

What is pentesting

[fallen rose]

penetration testing

[timid trout]

I need it

[fallen rose]

you dont

[timid trout]

I NEED IT

yeah, just joking

[timid trout]

.

Discover's bad

What is gnome firmware?

[pallid haven]

Yeah what's wrong with this tab

[timid trout]

I want the gnome screenshot manager

[timid trout]

Because its Nice

[timid trout]

.

Do i choose gnome firmware for it?

[pallid haven]

tf is gnome firmware

They don't make any

[timid trout]

"GNOME Firmware Updater is a GTK application that can be used to upgrade, downgrade and reinstall firmware on devices supported by fwupd. It can unlock locked fwupd devices, verify firmware on supported devices and display all releases for a fwupd device."

[pallid haven]

and does that sound like a screenshot tool

[timid trout]

No

[pallid haven]

You answered yourself

[fallen rose]

gnome screenshot tool comes with gnome

[timid trout]

I dont want spectacle

Spectacle bad

[fallen rose]

or you can install it separately via the package name

[pallid haven]

But you're using kde

[timid trout]

Can i install gnome screenshot manager in kde?

[fallen rose]

which is probably gnome-screenshot or something similar

[fallen rose]

yes but it wont integrate as well

[timid trout]

Oh, ok

Do i need an app center?

Gnome-software or discover

Or none

[pallid haven]

pacman is all you need

[timid trout]

Ok, then none

[pallid haven]

App center is for normies anyway

[timid trout]

I want to use my os for mostly gaming and as a daily pc

[pallid haven]

uncheck all of that

Except xanmod probably

[timid trout]

I mean they are unchecked, i have a choice to check one or not

Ok. Do i tick xanmod then?

[pallid haven]

Yes probably

[timid trout]

And why would i tick it?

[pallid haven]

You're fine with the regular kernel most of the time

[timid trout]

So

I wont check anything then

[pallid haven]

It's advertised as a "performance kernel"

And also "gaming kernel"

[timid trout]

Ok ill tick it

I dont need any office stuff

For browser i selected brave

I don't need email client...

I selected discord in communication

Should i check anything here?

Its an "internet" tab

I dont use ftp

But i heard that jdownloader downloads stuff faster than normal browser

Is it right?

Im checking qBitTorrent for sure

[pallid haven]

Well if you're torrenting, sure

[timid trout]

I am a daily torrent user lol

[timid trout]

Anyway...

[pallid haven]

ok

[pallid haven]

IDM better

[timid trout]

What?

Its not here

[pallid haven]

Internet Download Manager

[timid trout]

.

[pallid haven]

I know

[pallid haven]

I can read, okay?

Stop pointing it out

[timid trout]

Ok ill choose jdownloader, just to try it

[timid trout]

Ok sorry

VLC, probably?

And maybe i'll choose obs too

[pallid haven]

vlc bad

mpv better

[timid trout]

Its not there

[pallid haven]

What the fuck why are they displaying smplayer and not mpv

[timid trout]

Idk

[pallid haven]

Install it with pacman later

[timid trout]

Okay

[timid trout]

Is audacity good on linux?

[pallid haven]

No

[timid trout]

I use audacity to record youtube vids usually

Oh

What should i select then?
I also like to just listen music

[pallid haven]

Tenacity better

[timid trout]

Its not there lol

[pallid haven]

Its in the AUR

I think

[timid trout]

Ok, and what music player?

One with gui preferably

Oh wait

Ill just install one later

Ill just go with krita there i guess

[pallid haven]

Cmus

Also doesn't this thing is just basically "choose what you like"

Why'd you ask us anyway

[timid trout]

Right lol

Ok im pressing ok

Thats A LOT of packages

Dkms again bruh

[timid trout]

@pallid haven seems like garuda will be my os from now on

its good and friendly for begginers

[pallid haven]

EndeavorOS better

[astral frigate]

garuda has better sys defaults

such as snapper

the DE is kinda mid but other than that

[pallid haven]

The DE is what turns me off from garuda

And their rice looks mid as hell

It reeks of either "oooo I'm a dirty hackerman i will hack ur ip address" or "i play games on linux because reviews in youtube and google says linux is better for gaming and garuda gud for gaming"

[timid trout]

What's snapper?

[timid trout]

For me its perfect

Exactly what i was looking for

[astral frigate]

it uses btrfs snapshots to make rollbacks of your root filesystem

[timid trout]

I was looking for a futuristic customized DE with distro based on arch

[astral frigate]

so if something breaks you just do a rollback

[timid trout]

So..its a program?

[astral frigate]

u can also retrieve deleted files

[timid trout]

Is it that the option in ueif?

I mean grub

Grub has an option for rollback

[astral frigate]

hmm?

[astral frigate]

no like rollback your filesystem

[timid trout]

Oh

Okay thats nice

[astral frigate]

like if you accidently delete /etc

you can literally just roll it back

[timid trout]

Uhh what's /etc

[astral frigate]

the directory

/etc

[timid trout]

Maybe it's not WM but still it holds up to what i wanted

[pallid haven]

pong 🏓

[pallid haven]

good choice, just use whatever you feel comfortable with

[astral frigate]

if garuda ends up not working for you, id reccomend cachyos

its a gaming optimized arch based distro

you can transform Garuda to Cachyos by changing the repos and installing a different kernel

[sharp raven]

Did you brick your Garuda yet?

[pallid haven]

[timid trout]

nope

wtf is wrong with my goverlay

[pallid haven]

looks like you did

[timid trout]

Nah i didn't

Its wrong only with goverlay bruh

[timid trout]

I've bricked it 30 minutes ago

[remote zephyr]

alright i can try offering some help

[timid trout]

Coming back to arch now

[remote zephyr]

no guarantees though

[timid trout]

I know..I know

[remote zephyr]

try pressing ctrl + alt + f2

[remote zephyr]

or any other function key

[timid trout]

Bruh

Im on tty2 now, i can login

[remote zephyr]

nice

[bleak valley]

something basic

[timid trout]

huh

[remote zephyr]

do you have sxhkd

[lusty bridge]

do pacman -S xterm xclock

[timid trout]

I dont know

[bleak valley]

its trying to use the default xinitrc

[lusty bridge]

yeah

[bleak valley]

which is located at /etc/X11/xinit something

[timid trout]

I've only installed neofetch in archinstall

[bleak valley]

u can just remove that

[remote zephyr]

do pacman -S sxhkd

[bleak valley]

and make a .xinitrc in ur home directory

[lusty bridge]

this will install a basic gui terminal to test if xorg works

[timid trout]

Done

Installed it

What now

[lusty bridge]

@timid trout I don't like DEs at all but,
if you're relatively new why don't you use something like kde/gnome first? rather than bspwm...

you can install it alongside later

[timid trout]

Love it

[timid trout]

I've used linux since 2019

[remote zephyr]

so do you understand how bspwm is controlled by using shell commands?

[timid trout]

Of course no

Its the first wm i try

Except for openbox

[remote zephyr]

well, do you now?

[lusty bridge]

oh okay then

[timid trout]

But in openbox, no keyboard hotkeys work

[pallid haven]

@timid trout dont install arch

[timid trout]

Maybe something was broken idk

[timid trout]

I will install arch

I won't give up

[pallid haven]

first, start with a beginner friendly distro

[timid trout]

https://youtu.be/L30qDChTnVI

I want to get this rice

Anyway

What do i do now

[bleak valley]

dont need anything else

neofetch is all u need

for arch liwux

[lusty bridge]

echo -e "sxhkd &\nbspwm" > .xinitrc

then startx

[timid trout]

What about tty 1 tho?

[vivid pond]

it's trying to launch xorg-twm just delete the xinitrc and make one in the root folder
sudo rm -rf /etc/X11/xinit/xintitrc then sudo touch .xinitrc

[bleak valley]

xintit

[timid trout]

Uhhh

[bleak valley]

xin tit

[timid trout]

Guys you gave me 2 commands

[lusty bridge]

this creates a .xinitrc file that startx uses to start your wm

[timid trout]

Uhhh

[lusty bridge]

you don't have to delete the /etc one

[vivid pond]

true

[lusty bridge]

~/.xinitrc is preferred over that one anyways

[bleak valley]

whos the loudest wins the battle

[timid trout]

Stop.

[remote zephyr]

hey check your dms for a second

[timid trout]

STOP.

Ok

Ok

Im gonna talk with @remote zephyr for some time, 'll be back later with news lol

[vivid pond]

you shouldn't put sxhkd in the xinitrc

[lusty bridge]

why?

what's the alternative?

[vivid pond]

bspwm loads it by default

[timid trout]

Uhh so i installed sxhkd but

It still doesnt work bruh

I still have the black screen

[vivid pond]

do you have a terminal emulator installed

[lusty bridge]

oh

[vivid pond]

also
#1105480527626108970

[lusty bridge]

wot happen?

[vivid pond]

they put sxhkd in the xinitrc

[lusty bridge]

oh my sxhkd in .xinitrc works

deleted it now cuz why not

how does bspwm start sxhkd?

because my .config/sxhkd is weird
the one i use is .config/bspwm/sxhkd

[vivid pond]

use .config/sxhkd/ lmao

[lusty bridge]

if it works it ain't broke

😃

[pallid haven]

bro honestly, arch aint for you

[bleak valley]

L take

[pallid haven]

I'm surprised he could install arch

Can he not brick it though?

[vivid pond]

@timid trout have you used any distros before arch before?

if so how long have you been using it?

[timid trout]

yep

[timid trout]

i've been switching between linux and windows often

but first time i've ever used linux was 2019

[timid trout]

pop os, nobara, ubuntu, zorin os, and some other

[vivid pond]

Hmmm

[sharp raven]

@timid trout
maybe this is the case.
because you seem determined to bomb your system by doing weird stuff for no reason

[pallid haven]

We've been telling him that to no avail

He's better off with noobie distros

Until he learns more about Linux, it's better for him to not nuke his computer continuously

[sharp raven]

this is not even about learning or knowing Linux.
he just does stuff :D

[pallid haven]

In that case, he should just use Windows

Because Windows disallows you to delete system files even as administrator

That way he can stop fucking up his computer and actually does something productive

[timid trout]

I'm not

Just

Maybe a easier distro would be better for me

But

I just like the arch based distros overall

[vivid pond]

then use endeavor

[timid trout]

nah

[vivid pond]

it's legitimately just manjaro but good

endeavor is manjaro but good

[timid trout]

even i had to give up

but still, i didn't for a loong time.

[remote zephyr]

Well, if you ever do decide to go back, study the wiki like a hawk n make sure you understand what each command does

[pallid haven]

You just gotta understand the concepts of everything

to install and use Arch

Instead of blindly copy pasting a command from some random thread

[timid trout]

Basic Navigation ^
For basic movement you can use the arrow keys or keys inspired by vim:
j/k move up and down
l enters the selected directory or opens a file
h returns to the parent directory

More useful keys:
i inspect file or exit from inspecting file. Inspecting a file means to show a preview of the current file fullscreen, available for scrolling.
q quit. You can use this key to close active tab, quit from inspecting or quit from ranger if this is the last tab.

Key bindings and hints ^
A lot of commands can be performed using key bindings, making use of the hints to find the correct mapping.

Command hints show up whenever a mapping has multiple continuations:
g for navigation and tabs
r for :open_with command
y for yank(copy)
d for cut/delete
p for paste
o for sort
. for filter_stack
z for changing settings
u for "undo"
M for linemode
+, -, = for setting access rights to files

Command hints consist of keys in the left column and corresponding commands in right column. When you press a key the corresponding command is invoked or further hints are revealed.```

posting it for future cuz i might need it

[timid trout]

go on with your life, don't mind 'bout it
