That was a very good summary of the major talking points I see in different discussions about the various aspects of Arch.

I've been an Arch user for over five years and have used it both as a...

Rather than rebooting (assuming you know the root password), just open a terminal:

su -

<enter & re-enter new password>

Extensions can be installed from the AUR and from the Gnome extensions page here: https://extensions.gnome.org/#

I guess I am confused by what you expect to "learn" from this. Your goal of "learn something" is quite ambiguous. Are you setting up a firewall box? If so, then pfsense, endian and untangle are all...

I've used System Rescue CD http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page) in the past to successfully reset forgotten Windows 7 passwords.

System Rescue CD is a Gentoo based live CD. It boots to a CLI...

I sort of agree with MIPS, especially in that "someone else" deciding on the default packages and configs is not the Arch Way.

If you really want to go the Arch Way, I'd suggest you look at your...

I've been using Arch exclusively for three or four years now and would encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Arch wiki. You might find the beginner's guide especially useful. You'll note...

I had to search my post history to see the answer to this. I started with Breezy and the first challenge I ran into was sharing the printer connected to my computer with the Windows computers on my...
