 # Arch Linux
 
-ughhhhhh had to reinstall the test vm like 5 times. finally got lxqt with virtualbox driver to load the desktop
-but networking is not working. Perf is kinda shitty. UI is shitty. QT sucks. I hate linux.
-
-##  Setup
-
-* Installation guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide
-    * Can go through manually or use the new guided installer: `archinstall`
-
-* use btrfs file system
-    * I guess I should enable compression but I'm  not sure how it affects perf.
-
-* I tried Luks disk encryption in a VirtualBox VM and I couldn't get into the
-  desktop. Locks up on login. Not sure if it's related to this...can try
-  encryption on a real install.
-
-* desktop environment
-    **VM Test**
-        * lxqt, vmware graphics driver, lightdm-slick-greeter
-
-    * lxqt - X11 based. I was using lxde in the past but it was abandoned by
-      the original team. They made lxqt. It's QT based which is lame but might
-      be fine. This is lightweight and I have my old configs (for LXDE and
-      OpenBox) which might still be usable.
-
-    * sway - Wayland based. Martins uses this. I want to try it but it lacks
-      nvidia driver support and requires something called wlroots?  I don't
-      want to mess with this in my testing vm. Maybe later if I do a proper
-      Arch install.

-if you don't want upstream releases then obviously arch is not for you, but
-they have simple solution for that - aur, you can keep managing your
-dependencies separately from system packages

-Martins uses Sway:

-I have autologin on tty1

-    * 2024: looks like it's done by default. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tmpfs

     * Expand the cert tree -> click on `Trusted Root Certificate Authorities` -> `Certificates`
     * Before deleting a certificate, export it as a backup in case it's needed for system operation. Can also make a
       restore point before making any changes.
-      * Note: I'm putting exports in backups/windows_certificates
 
 * Maybe disable swapfile
     * Not a good idea to have this turned on for SSDs since it's extra writes, and writing to an SSD degrades the drive. Probably best to put this on a spinning disk.
