Hey y'all 
A new install script has joined the family. If you are a fan of #Hyprland then rejoice.. We have created a script that will make it less painful to install it. It also includes an option that will apply the #ML4W dot files, should you choose it as well as our famous toolkit. Please make sure to read the note included.

In the wee small hours i decided to give #GnomeBoxes another chance as a possible alternative. Chose to install via #flatpak, coz my Host is 
#ArchLinux #KDEPlasma & i did not wish to risk possible gnome vs plasma file conflicts.
It did a fine job of installing an #ArchLinux VM [which i completed using the latest #ArchInstall v3.0.3], so then in an act of gross stupidity i ridiculously chose to see if it could handle a win10 VM via a 3-yr old ISO i have lying around. As i abandoned windoze "for real" in 2014, i had forgotten the many hours of time-wasting bullshit involved, at the end of which instead of getting something decent, you just get... windoze, ugh.
Anyway, so far it seems that GnomeBoxes is going ok, which makes a nice change as all prior tests of older versions failed to work properly. Doubt though atm that it'll persuade me to give up on #qemu / #kvm / #libvirt / #VirtManager. GB has no facility to Suspend VMs, so they need to be fully shutdown, which is a drag. Also, the FP version does not support USB transfer, which is a bugger, & so far i've not made #SharedFolders work [but think i know why].
I would bet good money, Arch Linux, based in Canada, will be the 1st Linux distro to give deep into the non-free world, if American copyrights go out the window.
I am so going to look forward to that.

Has anyone ever successfully configured Telegram Desktop's location sharing feature on my Arch Linux system running KDE? I've been trying to enable this feature for a while now, but I keep running into a lot of crashes. If anyone has managed to set it up correctly, could you please share your detailed steps and any troubleshooting tips or workarounds you discovered along the way? I'm particularly interested in any configuration changes or additional packages that you had to install to get it working.
I use Arch, by the way. ™ 
I joke, but it has been a while since I have used and installed vanilla, Arch Linux.

Any archlinux users can possibly help me out? Bluetooth not working on thinkpad t480s.
lspci shows Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)

bluetoothctl runs but never connects to anything.
I installed bluez as suggested in the wiki but nada happens
BT won't turn on in the gnome settings either

Just upgraded to Plasma 6.3.4, so far so good. 
The way I work in 2025. A fun tour through my workstation setup: i3, Firefox, Emacs and shortcuts galore. Theming and translucency. Automated daily routine, including networking, VPN setup, backups and agenda files. Oh, and I use Arch, btw.
