Arch experience

After the 1.5years ıf using linux i decided to use arch 20days ago. I knew what is arch and its philosophy but i never used. Its not hard to install, its as easy as other distros, just no graphical interface. In this 20days i updated my system once a week, it never crashed, i had some problems but they were easy to solve. So dont scare arch its not hard to use its not a monster. Change this perception on the internet, and stop making people afraid of arch

After reinstalling Windows, the Arch boot option and GRUB itself disappeared. I managed to restore GRUB, but for some reason, GRUB doesn't recognize my Arch installation.

* Arch (ext4) is on partition sdc7.

* My hard drive uses a GPT partition table, so I need a BIOS boot partition, which was accidentally deleted.

* I tried creating a new 3 MB BIOS boot partition and reinstalled GRUB on Arch from a chroot environment, but it still doesn't detect Arch.

* Bios Boot on sdc1

* Efi system on sde1

* I’ve already spent about 13 hours on this and am stuck. Any advice?

Nvidia GeForce 920M not working

Hello, currently on my laptop I have Arch Linux with Hyprland, my PC has hybrid graphics, GeForce 920M and the integrated Intel Core i5-5200u, whenever I open the task manager I see a consumption of 0% on the graph, I have seen that the memory usage increases with some programs but the consumption remains the same, I feel that I have the drivers installed correctly but I don't know why it doesn't work for me, the other day I installed the Steam game Kenshi and when I start it it won't let me select the nvidia graphics, only the intel one appears, when I run nvidia-settings I get an error (nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file or the X server is not accessible) and it does not appear to change any related configuration to the graphics card, I would like you to help me please.Hello, currently on my laptop I have Arch Linux with Hyprland, my PC has hybrid graphics, GeForce 920M and the integrated Intel Core i5-5200u, whenever I open the task manager I see a consumption of 0% on the graph, I have seen that the memory usage increases with some programs but the consumption remains the same, I feel that I have the drivers installed correctly but I don't know why it doesn't work for me, the other day I installed the Steam game Kenshi and when I start it it won't let me select the nvidia graphics, only the intel one appears, when I run nvidia-settings I get an error (nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file or the X server is not accessible) and it does not appear to change any related configuration to the graphics card, I would like you to help me please.

I have achieved the Trifecta: Thinkpad - Arch - Hyprland. I think my linux-beard grew a couple of inches...

Arch with secure boot.

Just installed Arch again with boot subvolume in encryoted in btrfs to further strengthen my security., but the need to enter the password at boot is tedious, are there anyone who have tried to use a TPM with a short pin, like the windows boot process supports? Or maybe even better using a yubikey(with backup) and pin for the boot process. If so, what's your experience, and is it a feasible option? I'm not looking for TPM or Hardware token only solutions, as that, IMO, negates the point of encrypting in the first place. I just want to use a shorter password.

Stremio on Arch

Hey guys, I just installed arch on my PC and made all necessary configs, installed all drivers and stuff. Then I installed Stremio, but when I try to watch something it opens just fine, but it's lagging so much, like if the video was at 5fps. I don't understand what could cause this. I have windows in dual boot and from there, stremio works perfectly, not a single fps drop, the video loads smoothly. Why on arch it doesn't work the same way?

ArchISO, create folder in root of iso/usb and access by airootfs file system.

TLDR: Title.

Deeper explaination:

I am trying to create a setup where i can give someone an iso, they flash it to a usb and put the files of a game inside a folder in the root called "GamesFolder". It then provides a simple Tui to install the os which that copies the files inside the GamesFolder into the home folder post install. So I just need a root folder in the iso that gets mounted somehow.

Or a way to partition the iso properly so it can mount a data partition on shell login.

I did the thing but I also need help

so, I installed arch for the first time today but I have a fairly specific problem, whenever I try to boot into arch normally, I get thrown into the Grub> command line and it says that I need to lad the kernel first when I try to use the boot command, but when I boot arch from the boot menu, it seems to work fine. how can I fix this?

Laptop Keyboard Fails After Waking sleep. Screenshot of system and details in body

My Arch system seems to have an ongoing issue where it doesn't accept any keyboard input after I wake my system. I have updated my system to the latest version (issue was happening prior to update). Not sure how to troubleshoot this. EDIT: Using KDE Plasma on Wayland

Suggestions appreciated.

Keep running out of space =(

Think I need to resize my partition, as with each update the file system folder becomes congested and I need to keep cleaning the package catch before I can run sudo pacman -Syu... Is there a way to use gparted to resize the partition safely and automate the package cleaning so I don't need to repeat the process every time?

Eu ate consigo ativar elas usando o comando "echo 2 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode" no terminal, mas toda vez que eu reinicio o PC essas configs somem e eu preciso refazer o procedimento....Eu consigo deixar isso ativo definitivamente?

Obs: Migrei pro Arch tem 2 meses e ainda to engatinhando no mundo do Linux e principalmente no mundo do Arch
