My Archlinux Applist

This is not my only App List:

• My Ubuntu Applist
• My Archlinux Applist
• My Windows Applist

I am slowly switching away from Ubuntu to Arch Linux, hence this article. But it might not have all apps that I use / will use yet. So you can look at the Ubuntu Applist as well, seeing as that Ubuntu and Arch Linux will have overlapping apps & install methods.

Flatpak

• Zen is my browser.
• obsidian is the note taking app on which I create these articles :3
• Spotify
• Discord does have some extra steps that I have described in this article
• Portal for teams for using microslop teamsx
• volume control for changing volume levels.

Terminal installs

• OS-prober is installed with pacman -S os-prober, used for detecting other partitions with grub.
• Git is installed with pacman -S git
• Yet another yoghurt - YAY is installed with sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si or if you don’t want to compile it yourself: sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git && cd yay-bin && makepkg -si. this is used for installing apps from pacman and AUR.
• nvidia drivers are a bit more complicated, read nvidia and stuff.
• pacman -S kdenlive for a video editor.
• vlc media player with pacman -S vlc and pacman -S vlc-plugins-all
• pass password manager: sudo pacman -S pass

YAY installs

These are both apps from the official Arch repo, and from AUR. So some of these can also be done with pacman, some cannot.

• Flatpak can be installed with yay -Sy flatpak
• vscode (the open source version) is installed with yay -Sy vscode
• Syncthing with yay -Sy syncthing, and then systemctl enable syncthing.service --user to autostart.
• Dolphin as a file manager, the default KDE file manager (which is not by default installed) with yay -Sy dolphin, because the Flatpak version has issues like this.
• MuPDF with yay -Sy mupdf for viewing PDF files outside of the browser
• image viewer: yay -Sy imageviewer
• Ark: yay -Sy ark for unzipping in dolphin
• Konsole as a terminal, the default KDE terminal (use the Flatpak version first to be able to install it lol. Or use TTY)
• vscode with yay -Sy visual-studio-code-bin
• Jetbrains toolbox with: yay -Sy jetbrains-toolbox
• npm with yay -Sy npm
• Arduino IDE with: yay -Sy arduino-ide-bin. You can also use yay -Sy arduino-ide, but that will take a while to compile.
• StarUML with yay -Sy staruml
• lazydocker with yay -Sy lazydocker
• libreoffice with yay -Sy libreoffice-still
• lazygit with yay -Sy lazygit
• Git LFS with yay -Sy git-lfs
• Chromium with yay -Sy chromium
• pip with yay -Sy python-pip
• yay -Sy jq, if you want to be able to install decky on your arch
• steam, with yay -Sy steam. but you first need to enable the multilib repository.
• .NET is installed with different packages:
  • yay -Sy dotnet-runtime for being able to run apps
  • yay -Sy dotnet-sdk for building apps
  • and for running ASP.NET you need to have yay -Sy aspnet-runtime and yay -Sy aspnet-targeting-pack installed (I currently do not, but probably will in the future)
  • To use .NET 8.0 or 9.0 (instead of the current latest, 10.0), suffix above package with “-8.0” or “-9.0” respectively, such as dotnet-runtime-8.0, dotnet-sdk-8.0, aspnet-runtime-8.0, and aspnet-targeting-pack-8.0. (more versions)

KDE Specifics

• a partition manager: yay -Sy partitionmanager
• a disk storage viewer: yay -Sy filelight
