Hello everyone,
New member here and new Arch user having come over from arch-based Manjaro. I
admit i installed with Architect and am thankful for it as i don't know that i
would have been able to do so without it. So far my experience has been a good
one, but i know i have much to learn.
One thing that puzzles me is with every other linux i've used i formatted a usb
flash drive with the command sudo mkdosfs -n xxxx -I /dev/sdx where x's are
specific to file names and disk drives. This does not work in my Arch (the
development version and lxqt. Is there a different way specific to Arch, or
something i need to download to get this function?
Also, usually when i first install a linux there are updates, sometimes tons of
them. When i use pacman -Syu it says there is nothing to update. Is this
common/ correct?
I appreciate Arch for its up to date repository, among many other things. There
are just a few things i need to know in order to use it better. Good to be a
part of the real deal. Many thanks for your time!
peace
-bill
