never use -Sy

[pearl jasper]

update mirrors

.aw sway

[keen scarab]

Sway

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

[tepid hemlock]

-Su says nothing to do

[pearl jasper]

you use -Syu, not -Sy or -Su

never use -Sy, as it leads to broken systems

aw partial upgrade

[tepid hemlock]

failed to retrieve files

[pearl jasper]

.aw partial upgrade

[keen scarab]

Partial upgrade

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

[tepid hemlock]

[pearl jasper]

update your mirrors

... reflector

[keen scarab]

#17399 📣 update your mirrors with reflector (replace US with your countrycode): sudo reflector --verbose --country US --latest 8 --protocol http,https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[tepid hemlock]

syu did not work

[pearl jasper]

[tepid hemlock]

command not found

for reflector

[tepid hemlock]

so what now

imma just rerun the installer and get me kde plasma

[pearl jasper]

you have to install it

[pearl jasper]

sure, nobody forcing you to use sway

I just use plasma for simplicity

[tepid hemlock]

besides obs and discord any needed extra packages?

[pearl jasper]

wdym

when installing arch, it's up to you to choose what to install

[tepid hemlock]

dotnet runtime, host runtime 8, etc in the archinstall cmd

[pearl jasper]

why you need dotnet?

this ain't windows

[tepid hemlock]

vscode

[pearl jasper]

up to you to know what to install. arch gives you all the control

wdym by cmd? CMD is a windows thing

[tepid hemlock]

i didnt say cmd

command

in the installer

running arch install

[tepid hemlock]

is there a fuzzy clock layout package where instead of time its like bed time, morning, breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. like with fedora 40?

[tepid hemlock]

cause i have kde plasma installing with only necessities

but fuzzy clock where its like "morning, breakfast, afternoon, lunch, evening, dinner, bedtime, midnigh; repeat"
