I’ve recently installed EndeavourOS, and so far, so good. Got an OK setup and managing the basics.

Previously everything I’ve tried has been Debian based.

I know about the Arch Wiki… but was wondering if anyone recommended a relatively concise and easy-to-navigate resource to get a more rounded and complete understanding of Arch terminal commands?

I find it far more easy to learn when I understand where the terms come from - knowing that sudo means “superuser do”, pacman comes from package manager. But the moment I don’t know what yay, -s etc actually mean haha…

Thanks!

    They are just program names. Some of them make clear sense, some less so.

    yay is Yet Another Yogurt. Which is a pun on yaourt, the program it was based on.

      I should have guessed!

      As obscure as stuff like that is, I do appreciate the quirky humour at the same time… once you know.
