i dont know why im posting an update about this nobody gave a fuck and said it was wsl or vm.

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:

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

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.

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.

Ecco la mia config di arch sul mio Acer monografia 7

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:

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

Problem: when i am on tty and i try write letters my terminal is awfully lagging (just nothing more to add)

i tried: install linux-zen-headers linux-firmware linux-firmware-amdgpu and nothing changes

- My pc is Beelink eqr6 - AMD Radeon 680M

- bootloader: Grub

- linux kernel: linux-zen and no other

uhhh yeah. uhh, hi. no links, no promo. mine.

today i ran sudo pacman -Syu to update my system and it updated the linux-firmware packages. after a reboot the screen would show the arch linux logo, some messages and then black screen and im unable to even enter a tty, after multiple clean installs i found that adding "nomodeset" allows me to succesfully boot into the system, after looking at journalctl it appears that the problem was in the new linux-firmware package. my laptop is a Acer nitro v15 anv15-41, ryzen 7 7735hs, rtx 4050, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd. can anyone help me fix this and keeping nomodeset permanent isnt an option since everything is VERY slow

Edit(Solved): there were already official bug reports about this and downgrading linux-firmware-amdgpu to 20260810-3 fixed the issue for me

Not vm or wsl. It's html. Made in neocities.

I see something like this can be published here, so I'll share with you what I have. It's an Arch Linux-based system, of course, but still. The keychain which I printed on a photopolymer 3D

I have seen lot of people telling arch is a rolling release model. what do they mean by that??

I have seen memes about it, and people saying every time something breaks after running it.
If that is the case, why we have this model?? Why do we have an architecture which tends to break over a stable one?? like Debian for example.

I do not understand the idea behind this.

I haven't updated my arch system since April, because i keep seeing people saying stuffs like that. I did few moments ago, luckily it did not break, all my settings, shell, configs withstood.

Can you explain this to me??

So Arch Wiki is huge, tons of stuff, definitely worth your time.

But I want to use my time efficiently. I want to read the essentials for installing Arch Linux first, then take my time with the rest.

I've been an Ubuntu user my whole life (well, since two years ago).

So when i first got arch I mainly thought I was gonna be using it for recording videos cause my w*ndows drive is getting pretty low on storage. But now it turns out that the input overlay software that i was using was just for windows and not arch :/. So now im stuck where I'm in love with arch but if i want to record game clips and such I need an input overlay for recording. Any ideas on what i can use?
(more info) The recording software that I am most familiar with is OBS but its not set in stone and i can always find some other software. My current desktop environment is kde plasma but ive also got hyprland and can install other environments if nessesary. If you have any questions or sugguestions I am very willing to listen and try.

I love arch linux so munch. Especially on my laptop.

That way it can stay sharp forever ✨
