What is so good about this exactly? I see the icon for it quite a bit these days.

no fucking ads

What about sites that detect adblockers, will it work on them?
Jonathan Evans
That's not quite a peculiarity of brave, my man.

install gparted so fix fucked up usb you will have to deal with. ntfs-3g is also good to have.
the aur is filled with shit, abandon ware, etc, but you may want to have access to it with a helper. i use pacaur
depending your level of autism you can look up packages with pacman -Ss something
Dominic Bell
That's what I don't get. I can easily enough setup adblocking on Firefox/Chromium, why would I need a different browser for it? Is the adblocking in it better in some way, or is it just some meme?

Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Be me. Quit never. Go ahead, read Gentoo's handbook and spend some time installing it yourself, than you'll be officially part of the real Jow Forums man that hang around.

I have two disks, sda and sdb.
I wanted to set up root and ESP on sdb, while /home and swap on sda.
I suspect the problem is that there was a previous bootloader on sda that formatting the disk didn't get rid of. This is just my guess, I understand fuck all about this stuff but I've read that formatting doesn't remove the bootloader. The installation would go fine until I got to reboot and end up in the grub rescue with error: unknown filesystem. Nothing worked.
Not arch's fault either, if I try other distros I got to leave sda alone and manually move /home there only after the install. Maybe if I did that earlier arch would have worked.

I tried installing Arch into my VM.
I got the OS installed, but for the life of me, I couldn't get any desktop environments to install. So I just deleted the whole VM file.
Can someone help me if I reinstall it?
