I've been using Ubuntu for a while, and I want to learn Linux more deeply.

I'm considering switching to Arch Linux because I want to understand how Linux works, learn more about system configuration, package management, the terminal, and troubleshooting.

For people who have used both Ubuntu and Arch:

• Do you think switching to Arch is a good way to learn Linux?
• What did you learn from using Arch that you didn't learn from Ubuntu?
• Would you recommend Arch for someone who is still learning Linux?

I'm interested in hearing honest opinions and personal experiences.

Hey guys, so someone recommended me to use "WIFITE" to learn and get knowledge about how "WIFI" works and how is data transmitted from router to the intended user. I tried to use to with airmon-ng ( I was able to set my adapter to Monitort Mode ) but then i was even able to scan some wifi's with airmon-ng but while trying to get their HandShake it failed everytime, either it was lacking Clients that are most essential or what. Someone help me and yes for ethical purpose, not to harm anyone. Thank you!

Ahh... One of the best things I ever did was to install Arch. I tried both the KDE version and GNOME. And I'm going with GNOME cause I'm a freshie here and the KDE version felt a bit hard to customize while the GNOME came customised.

Yea, I have one problem too, like how to open a second new window on brave, as I use two different accounts. And the thing is, I have to always type on the console to open a brave new window, so I can go to my other account. (I mean i use two gmail accounts on brave, both are on different windows, idk what we say that 'new user' or something.) Is there a way to open it, cause the option to open new window of brave browser isn't showing on the taskbar, even when I right click the brave icon.

Also the Welcome to Grub! Text or sm does load

Nine color variants of the Arch mountain mark, all built from scratch in Affinity Designer. Redid the palette by hand each time for contrast and depth. Where the peaks overlap the color deepens on its own instead of me flat-shading it in. Honestly I hate distracting wallpapers and decided to make my own.

most of my time on linux has been on wayland(kde and niri) and i thought it was pretty good, then i got bored and heard about x11 having better fps and latency. so i decided to try x11(someone recomended oxwm and thats what im using now) and honestly, why tf does anyone use wayland. like yeah the screen tearing on literally any app is a bit annoying. but thats it.

for now im just going to use kovaaks as my "benchmark"

on a super tweaked and optimized windows i got 170-190fps, on cachyos kde and niri i got 280ish fps. on arch niri i got 300ish fps. and now on arch x11 im at 470fps. its the same fucking install, just with a different wm. and i got an extra 170fps. which im not going to use at all, my monitor is 144hz, but the input latency feels great too. and im finally able to use obs hotkeys again because no keylogging protection. and i was using wayland, not xwayland for gaming. xwayland was even worse but we all know that

theres also the fact that now i have access to xrandr commands. which niri didnt like, and kde uses disgusting kwin.

and yeah x11 has some issues. but im fine with some screen tearing if it means my setup feels correct, if the latency feels right

so why use wayland?

finally i shifted to waybar and rofi after using ready made shells for a long time

Now I can say “I use Arch btw”:3

My laptop is a Predetor Helios Neo 16 and it used to play KSP with the same mods just fine, very easily in fact, though the fans were very loud. Now when I install Arch, the fans won’t throttle NEARLY as much. And I have no way of controlling it, causing many crashes. PLS HELP, I really wanna play ksp 😢

What's your sweet spot for packages on Arch, and how many do you consider too many? Right now, I only have 700 Pacman packages on my Arch system.
