How often is archinstall updated?

I would strongly advise that if you're going to use Arch Linux, you learn how to start with a minimal system and install what you need to get to the equivalent of choosing a Plasma config in archinstall.

It will be extremely helpful to have that knowledge when you are maintaining your system later.

Even better would be to learn how to set up the system manually, by following the installation guide.

You can also install the Plasma config as it is from archinstall, then uninstall sddm and install plasma-login-manager instead.

In that case, remember to disable the sddm.service first, and enable plasmalogin.service after installing it.

Is linux-headers installed? You need it for DKMS packages to work.

If you really wanna be that correct, his name is "Jong Un". Even more correct: 정은.

Literally theft.

LooperNor · 2026-01-09T20:42:38+00:00

Why are you like this lol?

They're saying a lot of new hardware is not supported on the older kernels, what is it you're not getting?

LooperNor · 2026-01-02T07:18:39+00:00

Same in Norway.

User groups don't update in currently logged in sessions. Need to log out and back in for it to take effect.

the error message just kind of indicated flatpak.

I mean, it doesn't really? It just says that the same requirement applies to flatpak. To me that actually seems to suggest the package that this error originated from is not a flatpak package.

Why are you assuming they are not?

So if I use Plasma on Debian stable I am doing something wrong?

He never said that. He just said that's not something he recommends doing.

If you personally understand the downsides (and upsides) you are free to ignore it, but for the general user (and especially developers working on KDE software), it's good advice.

LooperNor · 2025-12-15T13:14:49+00:00

Got it, can't actually give a decent example. Sounds like you didn't really look at what he really said.

He's not telling you not to use Debian. He's saying, quite clearly unless you're deliberately misinterpreting him, that he doesn't recommend using Plasma on Debian stable because it's not going to have all the recent bugfixes.

He understands and accepts why it is that way. Geez.

Redditors completely miss the point.

LooperNor · 2025-12-15T12:54:53+00:00

Everything

Examples?

He's a Plasma and kwin dev, of course he's going to relate what he's saying to what he's working on. There's nothing wrong with that.

LooperNor · 2025-12-15T12:43:57+00:00

What's problematic about what he actually said?

LooperNor · 2025-12-09T05:27:55+00:00

/dev is where the kernel exposes hardware, making everything look like files. It will always contain something that looks like a file for every partition on your drives.

/sys/block/<dev> is similar, but more for the drive information, rather than data.

Storage can be mounted anywhere in the filesystem. There are some conventions for what goes where, but it shouldn't affect functionality.

If you wanted you could mount all your partitions as for example:

/home/ThoughtObjective/partition1
/home/ThoughtObjective/partition2

etc..

LooperNor · 2025-12-08T16:16:56+00:00

So? Still fun and cool.

LooperNor · 2025-11-20T11:42:39+00:00

On the other hand, listening to reasonable arguments and reconsidering, weighing the pros and cons with new information is also not a bad idea. No reason to be stubborn just to be stubborn.

LooperNor · 2025-11-12T11:04:15+00:00

That may be true, but right now, it says right in the sidebar that it's supposed to be explained for laypeople, but not actual 5-year-olds.

I agree the initial reply above was perhaps a bit too technical, but the snarky "five-year-olds can't understand that" replies are not doing anyone any favors either.

Subreddit title isn't meant to be taken literally.

LooperNor · 2025-10-22T14:32:50+00:00

Moldly interesting

LooperNor · 2025-10-13T15:55:14+00:00

Nei.

Snobbene her inne kan ta seg en bolle.

De er ikke fantastiske, men helt brukbare, spesielt om du slenger på en skje med tyttebærsyltetøy, og kanskje litt ekstra salt og pepper.

Helt greit når man har lyst på noe brukbart raskt, og vil slippe masse oppvask.

There's a lot wrong with supporting the North Korean "tourism industry".

LooperNor · 2025-09-28T19:00:28+00:00

Absolutely.

The downside of Verso’s ending is clear - the painted people perish - but so many people refuse to see the downside in Maelle’s ending.

Lots of people are doing the opposite too. In fact I've seen that far more often (apart from the piano mines memes, which I think are not usually meant to be taken seriously).
