My Archlinux Applist
This is not my only App List:
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
Konsoleas a terminal, the default KDE terminal (which is not by default installed)
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 -sior 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.
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.
- vscode (the open source version) is installed with
yay -Sy vscode - discord with
yay -Sy discord - Syncthing with
yay -Sy syncthing, and thensystemctl start syncthing.service --userto 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.
