sudo pacman -Syu --needed cups system-config-printer avahi nss-mdns foomatic-{db,db-{engine, nonfree}}

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket avahi-daemon.service

Edit nss-mdns

Rebooting after helps if it doesn’t find the printer right away.

Unless it’s a company, good luc…

Hay, how would you like writing documentation for all these open source projects? We would be ever greatful, you could even put your name in the credits!

The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.

1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it’s all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it’s as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.

Man people are weird, I guess people like web trackers & ads. I won’t bring up ad blockers up I guess.

So weird I thought people valued privacy.😅

It’s probably your ad blocker filtering thousands of trackers on YouTube.

Yeah, virtual box doesn’t work all that well from my experience. If you’re on windows I’d definitely recommend checking out VMware. VMware even has support for windows 95 and stuff.

It’s been about five years but I’ve managed to install arch just fine on virtual box (in macos) but VMware is just a more robust polished experience and it has a free version on windows.

Arch isn’t that bad, it’s a lot of what you have to do in Gentoo. Infact Gentoo is more manual and hands on than arch with a lot more room for error. Arch has a lot of systems service made specifically to make install and maintenance easier.

I don’t know how long ago it was when you tried it but I’d give it another shot, it might surprise you! There’s a lot arch does to help you that most people don’t even realize.

Your among friends here. I just didn’t have time for Gentoo

I guess I’m not that guy. I use arch Linux (had to say it for the memes)but I like coding, drawing, learning new languages, photography, and I’m thinking about picking up calligraphy someday.

Thanks! If it gets annoying I’ll give it a shot.

I think a lot of people will have a bad day. Some will swear off PC gaming altogether and switch to console, others might look towards Linux thanks to a friend or a helpful individual online, and a small minority will understand the problem and actively avoid the companies that caused the problem.

It probably won’t affect sales of the company involved too much sadly unless everyone point their fingers at the company in the news.

Thanks, I wish the same for you friend! I use arch so they’re pretty fast at fixing stuff. Yesterday they pushed an update that minimized the crashing but it’ll probably be totally fixed by today or tomorrow unless it’s a driver bug.

I was a terrible citizen and ignored the problem instead of reporting the bug. I just wanted to get some coding done so I just clicked the restart Firefox button over and over. That minor fix did wonders though! It only crashed two more times to my recollection.

It’s only funny because it’s a blue screen(a very windows thing). Imagine what this will be like when a game inevitably pushes a bad kernel level anti cheat update.

Firefox kept crashing because of explicit sync. Nothing new for an nvidia user such as myself. Still never going back to xorg.

It’s summer, I’ll warm myself by that garbage fire in the winter.

Sounds neat! Don’t really care much for messing with config files for hours. This is from someone who uses arch on all his systems. I’ve been in config hell for a while, I use kde now.

I like the aur too but a proprietary app that isn’t updated to support newer dependencies, it most likely won’t run anyway. At that point it’s either broken app, broken system, or you don’t have anything else installed using that library(yet).

Also companies are lazy and if we don’t want to be stuck on Ubuntu for proprietary app stability. We should probably embrace something like flatpak. Also when companies neglect their apps, it’ll have a better chance of working down the road thanks to support for multiple dependency versions on the same install.

That makes a lot more sense. I remember living with $200 laptops for a while and that’s kinda what I was thinking initially.
