Welcome to KDE

[tonkahanah]

Two big issues you've run into are 1) you didn't enable the multilib in the Pacman repository which is why you kept getting an error installing steam and other apps. 2) you installed the bare minimum Kde package which has a lot of things pre-installed such as spectical completely missing, the default Kde screen shot program. You're actually missing so many defaults because of this.

0:43 ah yes.. my favorite package manager, sudo

ngl, it's kinda cute to see the next generation find all the compositing effects like wobbly windows that have been a thing for as long as I can remember and at least as long as I've been using linux professionally(which is.. a long time.. It's like almost 2 decades and now I feel old)

I've never been so entertained from a simple distro review

Kowalski is now an official mascot of arch for me.

You can now officially say I use arch btw, but next is gentoo and LFS

When the task is to explore settings quickly but your desktop environment is KDE: Impossible!

This was one of the most enjoyable Linux videos I have seen in a minute. It really brought me back to the good ol days when all of these were new things for me. I even learned some things! Kudos on your detailed explanation style while keeping it entertaining.

You now legally need to tell everyone you know that you use Arch Linux.

[epicnan]

btw, if you freshly install any linux, it's best practice to update it (same as on windows). on arch, this is

sudo pacman -Syu

while on mint it's

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

this is probably why you didn't "find the packages", because the information that these packages exist needs to be downloaded with that command

[ufologas]

All jokes aside, this is one of the most informative videos regarding kde plasma I've seen so far, normally people just do the basics without the exploration and it sucks ! Even though I've been using kde for almost a year now, I actually learned something that'll change the way I use my desktop. After I've seen this, I feel like I hate myself for not exploring what plasma have to offer. You've just earned another sub ! Hope many more people see this vid, no matter whether they are Linux beginners or more advanced users, there's always more to learn !

Great video, but please try and use official KDE applications, it hurts me. 😭 Also you can fix the Steam issue by enabling the Multilib repository. Many of the packages you installed can be found in normal repositories too.

Arch? The final boss?
Gentoo wants to throw hands and LFS is staring menacingly from the distance

The reason why you kept getting "MANUAL INTERVENTION REQUIRED" notification is most likely because you never did a system wide update. I assume the problem specifically would be solved by package database refreshing that would happen durring such an update.

In simple terms your PC had an old reference to the AUR databases, meaning outdated, meaning "yay" was very confused when trying to call out to the out of date AUR repositories.

The command for arch based distros is "sudo pacman -Syu".

-S flag stands for "sync", it is the flag that actually allows you to grab, download, a package from AUR or any other repository or source. Not to be confused with lowercase -s flag which stands for "search". It can be used or example in "sudo pacman -Ss <search-term>" to search for a package that contains a specific term in, for exmple, it's description.

-y flag is the one that ensures that you're up to date with actual repositories you are trying to download a package from"

-u flag is simply a system-wide update of all pacakages installed through pacman

NOTE: The exact same syntax applies for "yay" but do also note that "pacman" and "yay" are different tools that need to be updated separtly.

If you forget to use sudo you can always use the command "sudo !!". The "!" invokes your bash history of which you could specify a number such as "!42" and it will use the command at line 42 in your history. The second ! will use your last command run. Very useful and I find myself using quite regularly.
