I’m planning to install Arch Linux for the first time. Any recommendations on setup, must-have applications, or best practices? Also, what’s something you wish you knew before switching to Arch?

    You definitely do not need to use any pacman wrappers to build a package from the AUR. Those tools make it easy, yes, but are not required.

    Building a package can be as simple as

    • git clone AURpackagehere
    • cd AURpackagehere
    • makepkg -si
