I’ve recently installed EndeavourOS, and so far, so good. Got an OK setup and managing the basics.

Previously everything I’ve tried has been Debian based.

I know about the Arch Wiki… but was wondering if anyone recommended a relatively concise and easy-to-navigate resource to get a more rounded and complete understanding of Arch terminal commands?

I find it far more easy to learn when I understand where the terms come from - knowing that sudo means “superuser do”, pacman comes from package manager. But the moment I don’t know what yay, -s etc actually mean haha…

Thanks!

    As a general refrence, there’s also the tldr command line program/command which gives a simplified version of the man page entry for all sorts of common commands :)

    Good luck in your Linux ventures! ❤️

      Yes, was literally just recommended this and looks useful!

      I’ve been someone people would consider a “Mac expert” for years…

      But giving Linux a go I realised how little I actually knew and understood about the underpinnings of operating systems.

      Definitely interesting learning all the things that macOS was just doing for me or even hiding from me.
