cold lake
cold lake
#

i wont say im a beginner but a noob

#

what other linux os's have you used?

#

i arl had experience before in ubuntu kali linux and arch linux kde.

#

then i tried linux mint. and linux mx

#

then i made bootable usb os

#

i got like

#

2 week experience

#

technically

#

who's dots did you take?

#

lemme send it

#

pasted this

#

using someones dots is begging for disaster, meaning that you don't know how to use it, then you come to the support forms asking for help on something we know nothing about

#

cryingif its a kind of famous dotfile

#

so?

#

idk 😿

#

ill make it somehow work

#

it works fine just little things

#

aLSO how does one create dotfiles

#

@cold lake pacman -S plasma-desktop

#

reboot into plasma wayland

#

why

#

@cold lake I wouldn't recommended using a wm for my first use of a wm in arch, I would recommended using a de to get to know arch a little bit better, then use a wm

#

i arl said i had a

#

1 week experience

#

in kde plasma

#

@cold lake 1 week is not enough

#

how long is long enough

#

3+ weeks

#

@cold lake

#

close enough!

#

no

#

you also took someones else's dots

#

whats wrong

#

with someone elses dots

cold lake
#

you can make your own

#

how

#

do i make my own

#

first go to plasma for easier editing

#

OHH

#

LIKE

#

I SEE WHAT U MEAN

#

hyprland can still

#

stay

#

but i should go to kde plasma

#

just so i can change whatever on the laptop

#

because its more gui like

cold lake
#

i never thought of that

#

@upbeat basalt

#

legendboyani?

#

im about to be lectured

#

@cold lake no

#

just that it's not recommended to take people's dots

#

wait im stupid

#

dots is like

#

the cool stuff

#

yes

#

like the gui u add and the cool thingys like the shortcuts

#

and the apps

#

yes

#

is it rlly that easy..

#

it can be

#

i want it to look slick and cool

#

like

#

my plan for

#

the whole os

#

or desktop

#

no

#

need

#

for

#

why?

#

one

#

line

#

at

#

a

#

oh

#

time

#

ok

#

im sorry

#

the purpose of this laptop is to be my second desktop in my desk. ill have 3 vm on it. for other purposes. roblox. discord. obsidian. some file work. and other just simple apps

#

main use is roblox and virtual machines

#

roblox so i can just afk in games

#

but i want it to look cool

#

yes ik

#

take my advice: don't go to a wm early

#

i can do all of that

#

in windows

#

or any other os

#

in linux

#

easy

#

but i wanna arch anyway

#

hyprland arch

#

i want it to look slick and simple not much stuff

cold lake
#

oh

#

IM SORRY

#

im used to type like that.

#

why?

#

texting

#

usually when you text people you dont write full pharographs

#

i just want a simple slick gui. like glass colored one and either other things to be black and white. the code to be colored when needed in spesific things for example if the command i write is wrong it highlights it in red for example if i write pacma its gonna be red but if i type pacman its gonna be green. have 2 virtual machines in it. run roblox and other like 5-10 apps on it.

cold lake
#

should i rlly make my own dotfiles

#

is it rlly hard and takes long

#

i mean

#

yes, it will help you learn linux

#

i wasted 5 whole days trying different things with arch.

#

by 5 days i mean i didnt leave my house cause allaways there was a bug or an error or i didnt like smth so i reset it and tried again and again

#

so for my goal.

#

how long should the dotfiles take

#

not that long

#

i want it to look similar to this

hq720.png
#

and that my fav apps or programs or features are pinned to a taskbar

#

a bar

#

waybar taskbar

#

whatever you call it.

#

first boot into plasma please

#

okay..

#

sudo pacman -s kde plasma

#

or is it something else

#

pacman -S plasma-desktop

#

does plasma come with a predownloaded apps?

#

like flatpak

#

?

#

no

#

nothing does

#

WAITT'

#

WAITT

#

i think i understood how cool dotfiles are

#

you mean i can create my WHOLE desktop enviorment.

#

again

#

and just make it

#

as little or as much as you want

#

downloadable on other pc?

#

like lets say im switching a compute

#

r

#

i can just make a dotfile

#

if you upload your dots

#

and download EVERYTHING TO THERE

#

yes

#

does that include system settings. some coded stuff you made for your own liking. saved pictures programs and allat?

#

sure

#

i wish i knew it sooner..

#

that makes it so easy to transfer your own desktop enviorment

#

without the hastle.

#

I made my own

#

plasma is just a desktop enviorment right?

#

it does not act do something

#

no de/wm just "does something" you have to make it do something

#

i see

#

let me boot in plasma

#

plasma x11?

#

or plasma wayland

#

wayland

#

cause hyprland uses wayla

I am sorry if I feel like a mean guy but no I wanted to help you and I did, it's just frustrating that newbies jumping into complex stuff and making dumb mistakes, it's like someone jumping into ocean without first practicing swimming in a pool
