I bought the Asus Tuf A16 AMD Advantage laptop. I installed Arch on it and it’s been great. Got it for $600 on eBay. Put 32gb of RAM in it and a 2tb nvme drive into the second slot. Left the 512gb drive it came with.

The past 2 years I’ve only been using Arch with KDE plasma. It was the one that clicked with me and got me to stay using Linux. Before I ran pop! Os for a little while and didn’t really like it or gnome then I went back to windows.

You boot into your installation media and type archinstall then pick the options you want. You can do it the manual way but Arch install works great.

Just used Arch install. Later on when I launched discover it said it couldn’t be used without flatpak. So I installed flatpak and that was it.

That’s what I’m trying to do. All I want to do is try out kmail which I’m assuming is a flatpak because that’s the only option I see to install it. But non of the apps.kde.org software pulls up in discover.

I am on Arch but I have already installed flatpak with pacman. Everything else works on Discover. The only thing that doesn’t is specifically all of the KDE software.
