I’m planning to install Arch Linux for the first time. Any recommendations on setup, must-have applications, or best practices? Also, what’s something you wish you knew before switching to Arch?

    So many tips, let me add mine.

    • btop - for monitoring and process management
    • pacseek - terminal UI for installing, searching packages (uses yay)
    • chaotic aur - repo for prebuilt binaries that are generally ok

    When installing use the archinstall the first time, unless you really want to go into the deep end and use the normal install.
