Just finished setting up Arch, KDE, exclusively with Arch and AUR packages. No Flatpaks, Snaps, or Appimages. This probably doesn't seem like much, definitely not the most productive to many, but to me this took a lot of work, I'm proud of myself and wanna share that.
Got backups, both images & books / documents to my cloud and BTRFS snapshots all configured and automated. This was an all-day project after years and years of trying to learn through hardly treated ADHD.
Major shout-out to Nicco Loves Linux on YouTube for making the process of following Plasma's development so fun. I feel... oddly more connected with the projects and it's kommunity because of his content. Much appreciated!
Apologies if this post is silly, just extremely proud and happy at the moment. I'm normally a distro-hopper, but I think I've found my new home, given how in love with this setup I am. Hoping to get follow up pictures of my KDE /desk setup for the holidays.
Looking forward to 2024 being my first full-year using KDE! 💞
May I ask, if you don't mind, why did you go for all the troubles of arch and kde and the setup, when there's already kde neon fully set up or even Manjaro distro? Is it because arch base is somehow better than neon's Ubuntu base?
By the way, it looks slick and beutifull and in time you'll gradually tweak it to be the best productivity machine for you!
It's the only way to really learn how things work.
Yeah that's right
