Trying to install Arch for the first time whilst also tired, I now have a computer with no network connection that I can't download a package to fix because...no network. (I know I can drop back into the live USB and fix it, I'm just marvelling at my ability to cut the branch I'm standing on).

For what it's worth, I'm only trying Arch out of desperation after experiencing the "Linux has no sound lol!" meme in reality for the first time ever under Debian. I have never touched it before and expect my chances of success are minimal.

sb hermit posted:this is a joke suggestion but if you have a usb wireless or wired ethernet then that might be a good crutch for now. Look if I can't spend hours hand-crafting my own hostname file and agonising over which network manager to forget to install, what is even the point of doing a Linux? If I wanted poo poo to just work I'd use the best Linux: Windows (Realtalk I tried Ubuntu first and was rewarded with no video trying to use the amdgpu driver. Debian gave me video but no sound over HDMI, which is workable in a pinch but not ideal so I figured I'd go for broke with Arch before I give up).

Progressive JPEG posted:here are the correct choices in arch linux imo: I'm glad my tactic of picking the most generic sounding option has paid off. Boring update: it works! I can finally get that sweet sweet upscaled N64 emulator action going in both sound and vision.

BattleMaster posted:boot into recovery mode This is what I used to call it if I hit my head drinking and my previously-concussed rear end would just zonk out and stare into space for 15-20 mins Luckily the only lasting damage was a willingness to use linux and permanent o_0 pupils

Rooney McNibnug posted:I had to reinstall NVIDIA drivers on one machine and force mpv to use x11 instead of wayland, but besides that everything was butter. I had to do the Nvidia driver shuffle too, but other than that it went without a hitch. For my first ever in-place Linux upgrade I'm pretty impressed.

Hey now, it's also useful if you're trying to do dumb poo poo with old hardware; the only way I could get vulkan to work on an old Radeon card I have is Arch + experimental drivers That's just a plaything though and I use it so infrequently Arch has gotten stroppy and refused to update once or twice because it's fallen so far behind what's current
