New kernel and applications version are rolled out as soon as they are released. Arch Linux is a rolling Distribution system.When you would try to start working on it you will find some complexities related to that but it also gives you a chance to learn how all this linux distribution works. You have the power to build on your own customized version over the minimal default install. This enables you to install your desired components and services, Desktop environment. It’s a Popular linux distribution between the Linux users as it gives the following forehand over the other available Linux distributions.From the installation to the management ,its a “Do it on your own” type of Linux.
Here we will go through “How to install Arch Linux 2021” The default installation provides the core base of this distribution that can be further customized as per the user requirements and needs. For instance, We can do the installation with a CD or a Bootable drive via an FTP server. It uses its own PACMAN package manager to provide updates to the latest application with full dependency tracking. The way to make the virtual machine look seamless with host OS is by setting the same wallpaper, set the guest to auto-resize to host window, hide the menu bar and status bar.Arch Linux is an independently developed X86_64 optimized distribution system for Open hand Linux users. First thing we need to do in the guest system is install “guest additions” which can be inserted as a disc from Devices>Insert Guest Additions CD Image.
Open virtual box and create your Virtual machine following the step by step GUI and start the machine. Install virtualbox, virtualbox-host-modules-arch, virtualbox-ext-oracle (this one is from AUR). I used my university’s license on this one. The only thing which needs to be sourced is the windows installation disk (.iso) which either someone can loan you a copy or buy one. So I installed windows on my desktop using VirtualBox. Then I realised it is better to have a windows installation loaded with commonly used software ready to go whenever I needed it rather than depending on someone else. Initially I planned to never go back to windows and in such situations I’ll just borrow a windows computer just for that purpose. Last time I had to do it is because of a form which was a Word document set up in a way that I had to use ms word to fill it in. Even though I have moved over to Linux completely for quite sometime, every now and then I’ll encounter situations in which I really have to use windows.
