Using Pacman on Arch Linux: Everything you need to know

what distro/desktop env are you using? i like how the terminal looks

I would like to install TensorFlow Lite using arch Pacman and my instructions are for Debian Bullseye on an Orange Pi5 64bit GPU. What would be the best way to do this? 😎 Thank you.

Great video! I really like the terminal, what is it's name?

This was super helpful dude thank you.
Have come over to Arch after 15+ years on Debian based linux.

Would this stuff work on the steam deck it runs on arch Linux

amazing, this makes rtfm so much easier!

Well articulated Luke. Really helpful in getting me started with Arch. I use Mint, but now I use Arch, btw.

..and that was that. first try pacman and update fail on kernel/grub thingy and what happen. well ofcourse it not boot! why have to touch working install! i not get linux devs. leave backup kernel?!?!?! so can boot. noooh failbak not work without kernel

no need learn new give me apt aliases xD

What's the name of the terminal theme?

Thank-you, im so new to linux and im on arch rn but not giving up. I wasn't sure waht pacman was exactly. And when updating pacman i thought I was only updating Pacman itself not all of my applications.

I like your $PS1 and terminal colors. Care to share?

0_0 When you watch from Ukraine. What do you mean you don't have services in Ukraine)))))LOL. Very usefull video, Thanks.

These small perks are very helpful. Thanks

Very good, thank you.

Tbh not going to lie I use Debian Sid as my main distro. The first Linux variant I used was Ubuntu than after snaps really became a thing I went to Debian for the pure experience of apt. As I’m pretty used to debs/apt as I don’t like a bunch of package managers like flat packs and snaps. I would pick using a app image or just using a pre compiled or compiling a program from a tar any day. I usually if possible use apt for installing my programs to make it easier to update my stuff in one go.

This is a great video thanks Luke!

I use Arch btw

Help I can't find the pacman.exe

I use arch btw

Been using Ubuntu for years and recently switched for Manjaro, this is exactly the video I was looking for!

Translation Luke, you gained a new subscriber here :)

appreciate the vid. thumbs up

Does it honestly matter if I'm switching to Linux to install Endeavour and just learn Pacman right from the start since its ALL going to be new to me; instead of "graduating" from a debian based system like a lot of people recommend?

very nice

As a long time debian/ubuntu/mint user making the switch to Manjaro - this video hit the spot in terms of comparing apt to pacman. Thanks!

As a newcomer, I dislike pacmac for its argument obscurity to newcomers. You even fail to say what the uppercase S stands for, you just know that you have to use it to install or update. What kind of madness is that?

I use windows btw 🌚🎈

Started switching to endeavor os

kinda funny that "dt" option lists unneeded dependencies

Hahahaha emacs? oof...Imagine the smell.

Pretty nice tutorial 👌

I like apt

Thanks for this. Always liked the elegance of pacman, but its syntax was a learning curve for me, knowing apt by muscle memory. I've mostly been using Debian or its derivatives for years but wanted to give Arch or one of its own forks another go.

I hope no orphans watched this video. Especially the "they're not needed" part

"There is nothing on my computer emacs related."
"It was at that moment I knew he uses vim"

I like your terminal font, could you pls tell me the font name?

:awesome:
