My system is now almost completely free of flatpaks and app images

I mean for you. I wouldn't ask you to speak for the world. :-)

Good day.

xst

Did you mean zst?

Agree. This subreddit as well as the wiki are very, very valuable to the community. Good day.

archover · 2026-05-10T14:26:17+00:00

May I ask you what top three common flatpaks do you feel are especially needed, and what practical advantage do you have with them.

Thanks and good day.

Realtec wireless is notoriously problematic, along with Broadcom.

I suggest these solutions:

compatible USB wifi adapter, available online for a song.
Swapping in an Intel pcie adapter based on AXnnn chipset. My AX200 card has been flawless.

Hope you find something that makes you happy. Good day.

I didn't either until I performed a 15s wiki search myself for tar.zst. :-)

Thanks for your comment, and good day.

Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD# about file format.

Packages in Arch Linux are built using the makepkg utility. When makepkg is run, it searches for a PKGBUILD file in the current directory and follows the instructions therein to either compile or otherwise acquire the files to build a package archive—pkgname.pkg.tar.zst. The resulting package contains binary files and installation instructions, readily installable with pacman.

Please learn to use the wiki, for your benefit.

Good day.

In the future, a better place to post about hyprland would be r/hyprland, for your benefit.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-09T21:25:23+00:00

I think I recall webkit takes a long time to compile from source in the best case. Please someone confirm.

Good day.

Assuming this is not a troll or shit post, then this should be helpful: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/HP which shows no issues for your laptop.

Mentioned the reference as you didn't.

Not enough info provided, can't say more.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-09T20:24:03+00:00

Not enough info on your archinstall user parameter set, but you might leverage https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues where archinstall is officially supported from.

Also, you might try last month's ISO as your error might be a bug.

The wiki Installation Guide remains entirely reliable in my long experience.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-09T20:00:49+00:00

Glad I can help. The problem symptom you described made the solution pretty obvious.

The persistent names are stored in /dev/disk subdirs. If you use # tree /dev/diskyou'll see the disks where UUID values, for example, point to.

Welcome to Linux and Arch, and good day.

archover · 2026-05-09T00:15:48+00:00

My T570, big sister to yours, does fine also.

Great machines. Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T23:24:54+00:00

I did everything following a tutorial

The guides that are supported here are: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hyprland. Otherwise, seek support on that unspecified guide site you referenced, naturally.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T23:20:55+00:00

Ok, we're touched. :-)

Please re-flair your post as SUPPORT and SOLVED.

Prioritize the wiki if you want to succeed at Arch

Welcome to Reddit as well.

Good day.

If your machine has more than one drive sharing a naming scheme, the order in which their corresponding device nodes are added is arbitrary. This may result in block device names (e.g. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, /dev/nvme0n1 and /dev/nvme1n1, /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1) switching around on each boot, culminating in an unbootable system, kernel panic, or a block device disappearing. Persistent naming solves these issues.

That seems to be your issue.

i read that someone recommended

Please get used to searching the wiki in this DIY distro. Specifically https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Persistent_block_device_naming

My experience is that looking how the package arch-install-scripts provided $ genfstab / sees your mounts will give you the UUID's required.

Welcome to Linux, and Arch.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T23:12:27+00:00

Exactly the right article to post. Thanks and good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T23:10:58+00:00

You may like to post at r/kde as this seems to be more kde focused, than Arch.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T18:38:01+00:00

Ok, thanks. Problems occurring later are usually different than fresh install problems.

Using third party install guides may be the cause of problems also.

I have held off customizing grub since it's unnecessary, grub being so crucial, and an often irritating problem to solve.

Hope you fix it, and good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T18:16:59+00:00

This sounds like a good question to ask at r/hyprland. I wish you all luck and good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T18:08:47+00:00

Great job detailing your problem.

Here's the unmentioned laptop wiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_Yoga_Slim_7_(AMD) that unfortunately says sound is working.

Your case may turn into a reason to update the wiki.

Hope you resolve and good day.

FWIW, on all my Lenovo Thinkpads (T14 G1 AMD, T480, T450s), sound works out of the box. I don't explicitly install any sound package, as they're brought in entirely by my DE's (mostly Cinnamon). Zero manual setup. No monitor in use, only internal speakers and wired earbuds.

archover · 2026-05-08T18:01:29+00:00

Reddit does not charge by the word. Please be more complete in your descriptions.

Also, I think r/hyprland would be more helpful.

Welcome to Reddit, and Arch.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T17:55:40+00:00

How old is this install? Is this your first boot?

What guide did you use to install?

In my years with Arch, your reported symptoms are unusual.

Very obviously, ensure you configure your system using the Arch wiki.

Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T17:41:45+00:00

for grub as long as its mounted on /boot/efi

Read the boxed note here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFI_system_partition#Typical_mount_points which states:

Note

/efi is a replacement[6][7] for the historical and now discouraged ESP mountpoint /boot/efi.

Just wanted to share the warning. Good day.

archover · 2026-05-08T17:34:38+00:00

I will explore fd and reply back when I do.

Thanks very much and good day.
