Things To Do After Installing Archcraft OS

After installing Archcraft OS, there are few things you should do.

• Update your installation.

$ sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -Syu

• Install new software - install your favorite programs with pacman or yay (AUR).

$ sudo pacman -S firefox gimp

# Or from AUR

$ yay -S spotify		

• Fix icons - if some icons are not showing in the bar.

# Run the following script to fix battery and network modules in polybar

$ ~/.config/polybar/fix_modules.sh						

• Remove unnecessary modules form initrd - let's say you've installed Archcraft on a machine with Intel GPU. In this case you only need i915. Delete other modules from the array and rebuild initrd.

# Edit mkinitcpio.conf file
$ sudo vim /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

# Change line 7 from
MODULES=(i915? amdgpu? radeon? nouveau? vboxvideo? vmwgfx?)
# To
MODULES=(i915)

# Save file and rebuild initrd
$ sudo mkinitcpio -p linux						

• By default, touchpad is disabled. To enable it, press Window or Alt + F1 key to open launcher, type Mouse & open Mouse and Touchpad. Then go to Touchpad & check Tap to click.

Well, that's pretty much everything for now, go ahead and try out Archcraft.
