Suuuuuuuuuure!

Hehe, ok :D Guess I will go with this threesome /. /swap and /home. I've marked all of my media/data HDDs as logical and I will disconnect them when I start installing arch on my main for obvious reasons. Now I'm waiting for Stage 2 to come and go :D

So how was stage 2?
 
I thought only pensioners needed a tutorial on how to use an operating system ?

I see very little reason to use a swap partition, it's reserved space that is mostly wasted. PCs these days have plenty of RAM and if you do need swap just enable a swap file instead which is dynamic. I don't even use /home anymore, only / as the data is on a different drive and you can symlink to it.

To be honest as a long time arch user I would have to read the arch wiki to install it these days. The arch installation method has changed a lot. Back in the day they had the ncurces based cli installer wich is relatively easy. These days you have to do everything manually, chroot etc It's more like a gentoo installl now.
 
...arch linux is on and it sure is looking good with plasma 5 :twisted:

I'm done with Windows 8/10 for real. I'm totally in love with Arch Linux. I feel so blessed today.

Bewhare here be dragons...

You might find one of two issues if you are unlucky with plasma 5:

1. dual monitor settings not saving
2. wrath of alsa ;)

I had both and need to try my hand at plasma again. But this might also be because I used 340 lib instead of the latest nvidia, being just "nvidia" so take note.

Elementary OS is based on Mac OS. Mac OS is great if you love Unix but want a nice looking GUI.
