kvonlinee Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Hi all, its been a long time since i post here. I have caugth interested on linux, this time Arch linux and at this point I have no more hackintosh in my machine. So for the pure Arch install, you can use evolution linux, it carry a simple installation to Arch linux, It is a rolling release, Arch linux, in general, it is just one time install and it will update upon demand of your, no newer version. I have cinnamon desktop, and sddm as log in manager, i have yaourt installed and tkpacman for package manager, mate screensaver. So if anyone like to try it, welcome to it. Edit: i use gufw for firewall, ans run as root in terminal:" systemctl enable ufw" to enable and start on startup. Networkmanager to manage network.

atlee Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm a long time Arch user, used to use vanilla Arch but have converted to Manjaro in the past for my work machine. Manjaro is awesome actually. Very easy to install. Pure Arch base with Manjaro tweaks on top. Difference between Arch and Manjaro is that Arch pushes bleeding edge updates and Manjaro holds back on Arch's bleeding edge updates for a little while longer till they are redeemed stable enough to push. Still bleeding edge but with a stable enough touch to it. I really love using Arch actually one of my best linux platforms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Manjaro is good. To me, first impression is great, along testing and running is "" and as lately install is not work out for me, glad it is work well for you. Also Manjaro is modded linux kernel to their own, in case you like to know run in terminal " uname -r" you see it. i like to have vanilla kernel, that why I am going with that path.

kvonlinee Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 For me, Arch on raid and encryption is a little difficult for me. I have 3 NAS, 2 run with opensuse, 1 run with ubuntu becuase opensuse can't run on it, about same setting on that box opensuse can't boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 For now, I see a different path on using Arch linux. Arch is great but for a single monitor, not sure for dual monitor, reason I got recent update and it wipe out the setting somewhere form dual monitor go into 1 by DVI port. I try fedora workstation and put Cinnamon on top is great, it is not freeze as often as gnome-shell. And it work great on dual monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
