@@alenv808 There's a distro called Archcraft which offers quite a few "preconfigured" tiling window manager options, although you have to pay a fee to get the ISOs with the "premium" preconfigured tiling window managers. I haven't tested those "premium" options. On the free version though, there are openbox and bspwm configurations available. You could try them without installing, just to see how it is. Openbox is regular floating windows, bspwm is a tiling wm.

about the yay and pacman, here is the difference: with pacman, you can install software from the official repositories, which is what we call the app store of linux. there are repositories for each linux distro, bud arch's official ones are quite small yay basically solves this problem, because yay can not only use the official repositories, but also the community one, which we call the AUR (Arch User Repository). in sumary, yay does exactly what pacman does but with more software

BTW, I do not know how much Photoshop power you need. If you really need the power then you are going to have to battle to get Affinity running, but if your real level of image work is not that heavy then in addition to GIMP there is Krita. GIMP is laughed at by Photoshop users because it is not an image creation tool. It is only an image manipulation tool as GIMP keep explaining, and the GIMP team have made it clear they have no intention of replicating the functionality of Photoshop. However, Krita *is* written to be an image creation tool and is coded according to the input of professional artists. If there is ever going to be an open source Photoshop, this is it. And, with Arch, you will always have the latest rendering. So you might want to take a peak.

Just a recomendation, if something happens to your arch and you want to go to a stable distro, I recomend you to switch to fedora kinoite instead of manjaro because manjaro is a rolling release distro like arch (meaning it ships all software update without any type of testing) and fedora kinoite is an inmutable distro and it is very stable because how it applies its updates,, and it even updates itself automatically and apply the updates in the next boot (but with no downtime) so you can just use your system and you will be almost always up to date and I recomend you fedora kinoite instead of silverblue because kinoite has KDE and silverblue has Gnome. I recomend you as well to check distrobox if y9u use this distro so you don't have the problems of the inmutability of the distro rather than when installing the nvidia drivers.

That was the time when you bought Magazines with Linux CDs in it - good old times. 🙂 Have fun with the Terminal and use the Arch Wiki, if you want to know something. Arch is pretty stable, just dont install too many packages from the AUR and dpnt upgrade too often. You maybe will see some bugs, the average Debian/Kubuntu user never sees, because you almost always get the newest version of everything, which is usually a blessing.

@@alenv808 Yes, once a month or so is perfectly fine. Sometimes i forget about updating for a while and then i have 700 packages to update. ;-) Thank god, pacman is fast, at least if you have a fast enough connection. Clean up your cached packages once in a while, because you do not want your root partition getting unusable because you are running out of space.

Win 10 -> Pop -> Arch -> Cachey Loved arch and hyprland, but my own lack of experience kept breaking arch, so I settled on cachey until I understand linux better as a whole. Wine has been my biggest challenge at first, since I like playing older games and modding them, feel alot more comfortable now, and Heroic launcher makes it even easier. All in all, while frustrating to learn a new OS, I can't say I regret the decision to leave windows it was inevitable. I'd just been putting it off for the past decade.

Arch has two types of packages. The official ones from the official arch repositories (core, extra and multilib) and community made packages from the AUR (arch user repository). pacman only allows you to install official packages while yay also allows you to install the community ones. Official packages are usually more stable since they get extensive testing from their maintainers while there's no such guarantee for the AUR. all pacman commands run with yay as well just replace the "pacman" or "sudo pacman" with "yay" (no sudo required)

@@alenv808 It doesn't necessarily. A lot of the stuff works great. But it contains a lot of apps which are developed by people in their sparetime so they do not have as much time to fix bugs and so on. If you have a big app you wanna use and it's only available in the AUR (the minecraft launcher would be a good example) it usually works good as well since the people who put it in the AUR only made an install script and the software itself is still made and maintained by the original company. Also usually you don't download systemcritical software from the AUR so if something breaks you'll notice it but you'll be able to fix/replace the broken part relatively easily.

I wouldn't go with manjaro in case you brick your arch installation because manjaro has little quirks like certain software not working and slower updates and so on.

My tip? At the end of the day you are using a Arch based distro, every arch based is basically just Arch premade... Easy on the short run, harder in the long run. If it comes to auto installers doesn't change much when you actually know what to install, and arch wiki is a good tool for that. Same goes for Debian btw, the only exception i can think of is Nobara, other than that stick to the "big distros". Endeavour is not that bad but Garuda... Just no! And Manjaro is a meme distro at this point.

Whats funny about the problem with bottles 4:43 is not even so much you got to the part where you were running the exe. You had troubles with flatpaks, and your file partition layout. Honestly surprised that archinstall, kde or Discover doesn't just have flathub enabled by default. The downfall of the "Arch Way" is you as as new user did not have flatpaks (the 'universal package' for Linux) installed by default.

Most Windows power users think everthing works with the same concepts as windows, and then they break everything, like... They can't understand that other os's don't work work with the concept of "programs", they work with packages, and from there to break a system is a easy jump.

@@see-sharp I appreciate the jump to stereotypes, however I was a user of Arch Linux (btw) and Gentoo (Installed both manually and daily drived them for over a month each). I am familiar with using their package managers and fiddling with config files and dotfiles a lot. None of what I want to use works there. Unity? Won't even start. Anything Adobe? Can't even install, not wine, not bottles, not even custom wine builds like TKG. Curse me for pulling the Adobe card, but it really is a deal breaker, and even without Adobe, affinity software doesn't work either. Then what about Filmora (My main editing software)? It launches but crashes immediately through wine (And no Linux builds). For upscaling I'll admit I haven't tried Topaz software on wine yet or looked for native Linux builds, but I'll highball it and say it works just for the sake of things. And even if it did, that's only one out of many programs I use daily for my work, not nearly enough to even get started on anything. I don't hate or even dislike Linux, I quite like it in fact. I just can't see myself using it for what I need and want to do. The most I can do on it is browse the internet and play video games. AKA wasting time, instead of doing anything productive.
