So, I happened to vanilla installed Arch Linux + incomplete KDE and several eye candies.

Caveat to installing

  • Remove secure boot
  • You need Internet Connection
    • If you don't have Wifi driver, you might need an Android device, with USB cable
    • rfkill unblock wifi is required in my case, even if there is Wifi driver bundled with the kernel
    • You might need git to clone AUR repo to install Wifi drivers.
  • Install networkmanager. No, there won't be iwctl or networkmanager, if you don't install it.
    • KDE will need networkmanager
    • Xfce will need networkmanager and network-manager-applet (yes, with hyphen between network and manager)
  • User management and install sudo
  • Install GRUB, but switch to rEFInd later, with cp /etc/os-release /boot/etc/os-release
  • Install yay. I know that Ubuntu / Debian do have apt search, but yay -Ss, yay -Qs searches the whole AUR and looks more powerful
  • Install missing drivers
  • Install not only plasma, but also kde-applications, just to uninstall many later. (Also installed sddm. Liked better than lightdm)
