Im too retarded for this

grand moth

Now i have a pc i cant use

#

Great

grand moth
#

Thanks for all of da help yall gave me

#

A shame you wasted it on a failure like me tho

#

Welp

copper lily
grand moth
#

I learned shit

#

All i did was follow your commands

#

You guys basically built the system

#

I am just a keyboard masher

copper lily
# grand moth I learned shit
  • You know what a WM is
  • You can install packages and do some other basic system management
  • You’re vaguely familiar with what needs to be done for certain tasks (this is worth more than it sounds)
grand moth
#

Alr then

#

I still cant type tilde

#

Therefore unable to go further in da installation

#

But somehow my keyboard layout

#

Is back to croat

copper lily
#

Did you change your keyboard layout ever

grand moth
#

So das nice

#

Yes many times

#

Using archwiki

#

Tried everything

#

But now

#

Terminal doesnt work

#

In i3

#

It just wont open

copper lily
#

Probably a bugged config or something. You can reset it by deleting it and you’ll be prompted to generate a new one upon starting i3 again.

@grand moth

grand moth
#

Hay

grand moth
halcyon vapor
#

that was it

grand moth
#

Xd

#

Whyd u ping me tho

#

Alr welp

proud storm
#

@grand moth What I suggest is to install back windows for now so you can have a usable computer

#

Then on windows install arch on a virtual machine with virtualbox

#

This way you can have a working machine and learn how arch works at the same time. When youre ready one day for the switch then attempt a clean install again.

#

Btw, you can rice arch within the virtual machine and your progress won't be lost since you can extract the dotfiles (config files) from the virtual machine

#

And since you already have ventoy installed on ur usb, just copy the windows installation iso to the usb then choose windows in the ventoy boot menu

grand moth
#

Okey

#

Well idk how ill learn on a vm

#

Since im too dumb to follow the damn wiki

#

All i do is follow your commands

#

I think im just gonna fuck around with arch till i learn it enough

#

Because i got arch to relearn linux again

#

And i shall

#

Idc if it will take me months to do so

#

Ill try my best to learn it

grand moth
#

Note i dont really need the pc except for games

#

And i shall go thru everything to make arch run

#

Fuck windows man xd

copper lily
grand moth
#

Okey

#

Im doing it rn

#

Not too hard currently

#

We shall see

#

Hmmm

#

If a font is mission in config

#

What do i need to do?

#

Install a valid font?

turbid pawn
#

wait so what happened?

#

oh, I see problems with window manager

#

you are coming from windows, right? I wouldn't recommend a window manager straight away since it works very differently than windows in the sense that you use workspaces rather than tiling your windows and alt tabbing between them.

A desktop environment is probably easier to work with at the start.
Up to personal preference though. If you want the most similat thing to windows to get used to linux, I recommend KDE.

proud storm
# grand moth Install a valid font?

start with basics. Do not worry now about special unicode characterss, fonts, swap etc. Set a goal and try to make it work. Think simple. How to get a wallpaper? I bet your background is still black. hint: nitrogen. How to get a start menu when you press the super key to list apps? Better than starting apps from terminal (hint: rofi) How to get steam and play games like csgo? How to get nvidia drivers to use with said games? Hint: whats an optimus laptop, read about optimus manager

grand moth
#

Okey

#

Thanky

#

I shall do wm tho

#

Because i really need performance

#

Talkin to arc btw

normal frostBOT
#

0v3r10r6 received a thank you cookie!

grand moth
#

I shall try my best to learn everything bout linux

#

Cause its amazing

#

And i love it

proud storm
#

Np, try as best as you can to do it alone. All those questions can be answered by googling the arch wiki btw. When you get really reallly stuck then we can help, but if its something simple we will just link you to the relevant arch wiki. That's really the best way to learn about arch linux. And its very worthwhile at the end. good luck 👍

grand moth
#

Yea

#

Okey

#

Thank ya!

grand moth
#

I still cant get the damn layout to be in croatian
