Blauesee Reinstalling #ArchLinux soon... What are your prefered setups (WM, partitioning, configs, packages) and why?

John Olinda To be honest, I just have settled on Manjaro for Arch installs. Since I don't use Arch on servers, I'll always end up installing certain applications and environments, and it just saves time to use Manjaro. Right now I'm using a pretty vanilla install of Manjaro XFCE to document the install process for Resilio Sync. Most of the documentation for it is very outdated and I'd like to contribute more accurate information. Of course, right around the time I finish, Syncthing will actually start being worth using 😂

I already had it installed on my computer with openbox and a few minor scripts running in background (e-mail checking, changing wallpapers either on day-/nighttime, etc.). I began studying this year and needed a perfomant Windows installation for After Effects. But sure it's true, that permanently installing new packages and configurating them is a minus (I know, it's part of the philosophy) in Arch. Maybe I

John Olinda Yeah, the i3 spin is excellent. It's the one I wish I could use, but it doesn't quite fit my workflow. Manjaro i3 in particular really sets the bar for an i3 configuration.

Blauesee Good to hear. I'll try it out! ^^
