New to Arch

[shdwknight]

What's up Forum. Just like the title says. I'm new to Arch. I'm very interested in learning about it and I've been using Ubuntu since Oct of 2014. However, I'm having trouble really understanding the Arch wiki.

Now, I installed Arch on my laptop at first and couldn't get a bunch of things working the right way. So I took it off and loaded Ubuntu back on my laptop. So, now I'm trying again, but this time I'm doing it in a Virtual Box so I can play around with it and still have a computer to use. Now, I downloaded it and I'm to the point where I want to start customizing it. I don't know how to do it. It's different then in ubuntu. I'm running Xfce and like I said previously I want to customizing it.

Now, this is where my problem lies. I don't have a browser, nor do I have a program to read files(mousepad,leafpad). I think I used the right terminology. Maybe not. So, I think you can see my frustration. I don't know how to download anything, and I can't open up anything nor can I go online.

Now, the purpose of this thread. I want to learn more about Arch, get help where I'm having trouble, and meet more people that's a part of this community.

Wrong forum. We are ArchLinux ARM.

I tried making an account there and it won't let me.

You need a Desktop Environment (DE), but you should seriously ask on that forum. Thread locked.
