I wish I new how to easily install an AUR package manager when I first started.

Step 1: go to the AUR and choose a package manager. I recommend paru, but there are plenty of others.

Step 2: install git using pacman

sudo pacman -S git 

Step 3: copy the git clone URL for paru and pull it

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git

Step 4: CD into the new directory

cd paru

Step 5: install paru

makepkg -si

Now when you find a package from the AUR you want, you can easily install it.

paru -S [package]

Also, when you update your system, you only need to run paru -Syu. You don’t need to run both pacman -Syu and paru -Syu.

The cold tile floor of the marching band’s laundry room for about two hours. I had a severe migraine, and for me, that means I’m going to take a nap no matter where I am. It was about as comfortable as you can imagine.

I’m at 47 minutes so far, but it’s still early. Depending on how busy I am, it may get up to 3 hours by the end of the day.

In this context, it means praiseworthy. If a person describes something as based, they are commending that thing; however, it is also commonly used in an ironic way. People will praise something that shouldn’t be praised in situations where it would be humorous.

My workout playlist consists of anime openings and Power Metal. I don’t watch anime nor play D&D, but I like the fast-paced and fantasy/superhero style.

It might be Mint or an issue with your laptop. I’ve been using Arch for a while and haven’t had major performance issues. Before I used Arch, I used Pop!OS and didn’t have any issues either. What are your laptop specs? Have you already looked into Nvidia Optimus? Have you tried other distros?

That was my issue. Thank you very much!

Thank You! I changed the port settings and used the “d” flag and it’s working.

Password manager like Bitwarden. I’d rather they take care of it for me. The consequences would be too great if I messed it up.
