I’m planning to install Arch Linux for the first time. Any recommendations on setup, must-have applications, or best practices? Also, what’s something you wish you knew before switching to Arch?

    It does. It gives you this message

    -> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.

    I only ran Debian and Ubuntu based distros up until that point so I thought you always needed to install packages using sudo.

    I am pretty sure I ignored the warning initially because the first couple packages I tried to install with sudo and yay worked.

    This was a while ago.
