  • I mean fail as error. Like, I did something wrong at commands. I haven’t verificated the iso about its valid or not. That’s the thing I’m worried about. I asked can I verify with other ways without the iso. But I decided to do clean re-install. Thanks for comment. Goodbye.

    Oh, I didn’t know that. I just downloaded iso and iso.sig then used gpg commands. The thing I’m worried about is, maliciousy chance of the iso. I probably used German or French mirror to download the iso. Then, failed the verification. I am using unverificated iso’s Arch Linux now. Can I know if I had any tracker, keylogger or mining software etc. ? Usage is normal and smooth as how it have to be. But idk… Just worried. I still have the same bootable USB that the iso was extracted into. I have a FreeDOS unnecessary PC. Can I verificate the bootable by executing any verification command while I’m at the installation process? Or, can I verify or check my operating system’s originality at post-installation era of my main PC? Thanks for comment.



  • I understood clearly what you said. Thanks for detailed text. The protocol uses end-to-end encryption, yes. But, I didn’t understand what type of information is being leaked. Do you mean e-mails, phone numbers, profile pics etc. as metadata? If I use another server or self-hosted server, can I avoid the leak. And not only matrix.org, Element uses same types of informations. Element’s permissions was a bit high in Android, Flatpak etc. I’m using Element on my GNU desktop and not on phone. No phone number, no profile pic, no e-mail; only username, server and password. Do I still give information?




  • I can say I don’t have enough experince to say anything about different distros. Its my first year and I didn’t changed OSs too much. I want to get new experiences and different types of things. And I liked that labor-needy and fully-controlable vibe of Arch. And just decided to Arch but I was worried about sths. Thanks to previous replies, I understood what I have to. Thanks. Have a good day.


  • Its looking good for me. And i like its gaming performance. The main reason for changing os is new experiences. I want Arch but the quotes “Arch is easy to get broken” yk was making me worry about it. But the previous comments helped me for that mindset. Im decisive for hopping on Arch. Thanks for reply, have a nice day.


  • I mean if the OS has problems with in it chronically or not as waste of time. As i said, i love to deal with any problems for experience. And, that was joke, im not hopping to Arch for the cool tag. Just, I want new experiences and learning about Linux much more. Thanks for your reply. Have a good day.



  • So you say about being careful before getting new updates and read news about it (if i get it clearly). What to do with it? How can I understand that latest update will make issues on my pc or not?

    If there is no problem inside of Arch, its okay and just asked for it. But the only problem is users as far as i understood. Thanks for your reply


  • I’m the OP! Just have read it and its replies. So I can write a general reply to these messages. I mean if Arch has problem with its stability, its developer team and etc. as the waste of time. Like, if there is some problems chronically with Arch, I don’t want to mess with it. But if there is nothing wrong about Arch, don’t take my “waste of time” quote important. I’m ready for learning new things and deal with problems like I said. I can say I have got somethings wrong because of the ignorant people. I understood that Arch is stable and non-troublemaking thanks to you guys. Thanks to you all. Have a nice day.



  • Thanks so much for your detailed and helping answer. I can say that I’m a bit newbie. Only have used linux for 1 years. But I think I learned so much. Then I wanted to use Arch for its fame and the mindset “Arch is hard”. I’m using Arch in my virtual pc to learn how to use it. And I liked its gaming performance, features of Hyprland. But whenever I see something about Arch, everyones mouth full of “Its easily breaking”, “It gives error when you have an important job” etc. And that made me worry about Arch. I trust your experience and decided to use Arch. You helped so much. Thanks again. I wish you a nice day.

    So if I understand you well, I just have to check news always to keep my system up to date and stable, and use popular DE. (I choosed Hyprland :)) And not to play with its settings/ packages too much because of the confidence that Arch gave. Right?
