Vanilla Arch? It's a derivative of Arch and is completely different. It's like comparing Debian with Ubuntu. 1 Quote

Odd title considering that it’s a tutorial, not a remaster. A remaster means that you changed something. Sort of like a distro respin. Quote

abarbarian Posted December 5, 2020 Author Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Came across this video showcasing xscreensaver running on a Arch install. Looks like the guy is using Window Maker which is cool. Sweet spots are 16 and 30 mins in. Watch the video in 1080pHD to get clear readable text. Edited December 5, 2020 by abarbarian Quote
abarbarian Posted January 23, 2021 Author Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) How to Use AUR with Arch Linux Quote Arch User Repository, also known as AUR, is a major part of the Arch Linux ecosystem. It’s a community-driven repository for the Arch Linux system that hosts a number of packages outside the official Arch Linux package database. Popular AUR projects can eventually get into the official Arch repository! The fact is, a good number of all the new packages added to the Arch Linux official repositories were first AUR packages before becoming official. A very clear and informative guide to using the AUR. Personally I use , pacman -Rns somepackage when uninstalling a program as I do not want .pacsave files lying around my pc. Edited January 23, 2021 by abarbarian 1 Quote
securitybreach Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I do the same when removing packages..... -Rns As far as the AUR, you really only need wget and makepkg to install stuff. AUR helpers make it easier and I usually suggest yay as a nice pacman like AUR helper. Quote

They are not and have never have promoted Arch in a real way like that. There are some tshirts, stickers, etc linked from archlinux.org but that is as far as it goes: Donate Products via Zazzle Products via Unixstickers T-shirts via Freewear T-shirts via HELLOTUX Those are just ones that donate some of the proceeds to the project. The anime is from a fanboy/user. Quote

Well, I was thinking that the most essential pacman command is man pacman, but I guess that isn't a pacman command, technically (right?). Lol. That article should have included a link to this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman 1 1 Quote
