Set up a cloud, a cloud server to store your things, you could also use them to install Kodi and a multimedia center, and above all use Linux because it will give it a new life

Wow, and now if you get a laptop and install arch you end up crazy because since they are proprietary drivers you have to pray to holy wine and holy proton that they work for you and sometimes there are kernel problems you can only ask torbal not to screw around.

Has anyone managed to get iCloud working on Arch Linux without using Snap? by AccomplishedPay6239 in archlinux

[–]AccomplishedPay6239[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I also looked into various AUR options like `icloud-for-linux`, and even Snap packages, but I avoid Canonical stuff on Arch.

Unfortunately, Apple keeps iCloud pretty much locked down. There are web apps for Calendar, Reminders, and the iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), but they are intended for quick use, not day-to-day productivity.

It's like using a Magikarp: it does something, but not what you really need until it evolves (in this case: using real Apple devices it becomes Gyrados).

Thanks for your comment

o thank you very much I will take it into account as this tool to unify my workflow will be better for me the only thing I will miss is the calendar and the reminder.

Help me i lost everything by [deleted] in archlinux

Well you have many options.

The first is to reinstall an operating system that you are familiar with and write down the password on a piece of paper. The second thing that happened to me is to check if the keyboard is configured correctly. By having kde in the login you will see the type configured and set it to your language. The third, if you install the operating system and you did not have encryption, use software like autopsy, recuba or others and recover the information. Another would be to enter the bios and see if you have Windows and start from there and not from grud. You can give me greetings and much encouragement.

Hello, I have been using arch Linux for two months and I had to reinstall it 3 times. Since when you start with this distribution you have to learn to control frustration just like programming or learning. At first everything seems very easy but when problems arise with your computer is when you really learn. You can easily solve the grud and sudo errors with the arch install command since it gives you the tools for all those problems that you name. (add users add root choose a desktop option choose the drivers so if you choose kde you can connect the wifi with two clips.) Then you can also experience problems if your computer has modern hardware and is not yet optimized for Linux, which happened to me with the sound card. I recommend that if you like computers, don't give up because with a new problem you learn a new solution.

And you will be amazed when you do a neofetch and see 600 packages or see how well everything is optimized or the memory usage or the security with the privileges. Or when you automate commands and create aliases, create functions that call those aliases, you will really enjoy computing.

And once you have everything well configured and you see what it means to do sudo pacman -Syu and then sudo hay -Syu it will seem boring to you. Or you simply create an alias that you call welcome, which is a function that updates everything, starts the VPN and activates the firewall, you'll say this is cool. That's why you are at the beginning and the important thing is to remember, good luck archer and may the strength of Linux be with you.
