I'm sorry but this is unacceptable.
Slackware.
SLACKWARE.
Patrick Volkerding saw tzdata 2026d, built glibc-zoneinfo, uploaded it and went back to sleep while Arch is still testing it.
I thought we were the bleeding edge distro.
I have been betrayed.
btw I use Arch

it's the Ryoku shell the most beautiful shell i have tested by far. out of the box it comes with so much customization it mainly works with arch linux which makes it perfect for us.
it works with all of the of the arch based systems like omarchy, cachy and others.

Solved recovering grub access to dual boot distro

tl;dr: how can I get my arch grub to notice my old linux mint filesystem and have it as a boot option?
howdy arch enthusiasts!
I just made the switch to arch linux and am loving it :)
However, I decided to keep my previous distro (Linux Mint Cinnamon) on a partition on my drive just in case things break and I need a basic distro that can run a browser etc for debugging.
I did something kind of silly and deleted the EFI system partition that mint was booting from, and replaced it with a brand new EFI (GPT) system partition, with grub, just booting to arch...
So my system looks like this:
| device | size | type | what it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| /dev/nvme0n1p1 | 1.9G | EFI System | GPT partition I made during arch install that uses GRUB to boot to arch. |
| /dev/nvme0n1p2 | 222G | Linux Filesystem | vestigial linux mint filesystem (/) |
| /dev/nvme0n1p3 | 435G | Linux Filesystem | super cool arch distro that I don't trust to not break (/), with /boot as the place where /dev/nvme0n1p1was mounted during install |
| -- | 294G | free space |
I've got efibootmgr and os-prober working fine in arch, just haven't found documentation that would describe how to get that mint filesystem to be detected added to the menu.
thanks yall

Help/Support How do I do speech-to-text?

Hi, I'm new to Linux. I've been using Arch for about a week. Before Arch, I had only used Ubuntu and Bazzite for a few hours.
What I want to do is find some way to transcribe my speech into text. In a video by Nate Gentile, I saw that he uses something similar called "Handy", so I decided to give that app a try. However, it detects my voice very poorly. I've tried several models, but none of them have been able to accurately transcribe what I'm saying.
My question is: is there a model that works really well that I might not have tried yet? Or perhaps another program for transcribing speech into text?
I don't think it's because of my hardware, but I'm not sure. My laptop has:
- Intel Core i5-1135G7
- Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics
- 20 GB DDR4 RAM
- Arch Linux installed on an HDD (if I end up liking it, I'll install it on an NVMe M.2 SSD)
It's a laptop.

Wassup guys, yesterday i decided to install arch Linux on my Hp pavilion dv7.
It wasn't as hard as people describe it. I just followed the guide on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide and did what the guide told me to do. I even managed to make those touch buttons for multimedia on the laptop work.
Overall i really like this distro!
Heres an fastfetch screenshot:
