Thats why I decided to leave it up instead of deleting it 😊
Yeap, it seems so. Next time ill try using a friend for my rubber duck 😄
This is how I try to approach voting on here. Even if I post a comment disagreeing with the OPs take ill still give them an upvote because it made me have a conversation
Id fuckin' read that!
Excuse you! But also I do hate myself
I started with ubuntu initially, and appreciate the fact that it wasnt entirely foreign to me coming from windows. Being a techy person, whenever something broke I obviously had to use the terminal to fix it (because all forum posts online use it for troubleshooting) but it was nice to ease into it. Once I got comfortable with that I then moved on to more non-windows like distributions, and eventually ended up where I am now - with arch and a tiling window manager - something entirely different to windows. If I had started with this Im not sure I would have stuck it out.
So my take on your take is that while you have valid points, we need to always take situations with context. Sure, I wouldn't (and don't) recommend super windows-like distros to the guys at my work (IT) who are more technically capable, but if my grandmother or grandfather used computers and for whatever reason we needed to make the switch to linux, I would try to make the transition as seamless and familiar as possible, so I might even have made their UI look like windows. Computers are tools at the end of the day, and every person has something different they want to get out of them.
Not sure if done on purpose or you didn't realise at the time, but you basically just (i hope xD) rickrolled the piped devs and anyone else looking at the issues in future for solutions 🤣
Thanks, ill look in there, and ignore that step if it doesn't exist, then do step 5. :)
Could you please elaborate on the full path for the arch.conf file? I looked at /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/arch.conf and there was no initrd /amd-ucode.img (or intel-ucode.img) line, instead all I had was initrd /initramfs-linux.img
Furthermore, for step 3 I didnt have any entry starting with ALL_microcode=
I have yet to do step 5 fyi. Thank you
Spiders, and yes

Making custom arch iso for reasons below - question about minimum required packages in live environment for default installation
(iusearchlinux.fyi)
Hey everyone. So I need to make a custom iso because I don't have access to the router from my apartment and my wifi antenna uses the rtl8192eu driver, which is not included by default. Hence, I decided a custom iso was the way to go. I don't want however to bloat it up, and since I'm making it on my laptop which is running Endeavour OS I can't trust the packages.x86_64 file in the releng directory to be the default plain arch install package list (following the archiso instructions on the wiki).
So what I am actually asking for: Before building my iso, what are the packages that the actual maintainers of Arch Linux would put in the packages.x86_64 file, which we would have access to from the live environment, that I should also include (plus the 5 packages I want to make sure I have, which is the custom part of this iso)?
How I understand it reading the install guide as well as a couple forum posts, the only truly necessary packages for an arch installation are base, linux, and linux-firmware. Correct me if I'm wrong please. After installing archiso on my endeavour os laptop I had around 130 packages in my packages.x86_64 file. Many seemed unnecessary.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Some screenshots which will hopefully help

Making telescope.nvim find_files show hidden files by default - Following ThePrimeagen's guide
(www.youtube.com)
Hey guys, I'm following the tutorial above, and in his video he doesn't do anything specific to show hidden files, but it works for him. My .config/nvim/after/plugin/telescope.lua file looks like this: I've looked up solutions but they all use a different syntax, and none work for me. Any idea how I can make the find_files command also show hidden files by using this syntax? Thanks!

Cleaning up the whole $HOME/<.pkgname>/ situation for individual app settings
(iusearchlinux.fyi)
This is the only community I've encountered so far where this happens. Its just text and not clickable.
This is quite a serious issue because I don't know how I will be able to keep up with all the other Arch linux users trying to tell me they use arch ~btw~, and I don't know how I will be able to tell them that I do too ~btw~.
Ive been looking for an alternative auto-pair plugin, so I'll check this out. Thanks
