What's up everyone, Daniel here. Today we're learning how to install GNOME in Arch Linux
It's a super simple guide. We're going to knock it off in just a couple of minutes. Right now
So like I said, it's a super simple guide. The only thing that it assumes is that you already
have a minimal Arch install. If you don't, I'll be sticking up right where I left off in my guide
with a link right there. There will also be a link in the description. So let's go ahead and get at
it. So I'm going to log into my machine here and update my packages
Now that my packages are updated, we only have to install four packages. We need to install GNOME
GNOME-Extra, X-Forge, and GDM. So I'm going to do sudo pacman x-forge gnome gnome-extra
and gdm. I'm just going to master all the defaults. The defaults are very well chosen
And when it asks me to confirm, I'm going to just go ahead and hit enter to hit yes
Notice it has 583 megabytes. Depending on your internet connection, this could take quite a long time to download. So I'm going to go make a cup of tea
All right, so it's been installed. So one last thing to do is system cto enable
gdm that enables our display manager and then reboot. I want to reboot. You should come up to the display manager login
and we will log into a GNOME setting. And there you have it
It works perfectly on the first go. So there you have it. GNOME on Arch Linux. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. As always, if you have any
issues, feel free to leave them in the comments below. Additionally, we have a forum and a discord
channel now, which will hopefully be linked in the description. Until next time, peace
