Deepest Appologies

 Hey everyone I am so sorry for the delay in these posts. I had switched from 3rd to second sift at work, and the Florida sun loves to bake your in just the right way that it rips your soul out. Anyways. I am getiting over a cold as well now, but I'll update you on the status of the Arch Linux adventures.  We had a system crash that I was not able to find an answer to within my limited timeframe that I had available. So I scrapped the system and put a poll up on the MoyDee youtube channel. I set a two week time frame, but it is very obvious to me 2 days into the post that I am going to have to continue with the project of 90 days. So keep an eye out for week 3.  I would like to thank everyone for their support on the content that I make. I love seeing so many faces over and over in the comments and the Discord is growing slow and steady. We also made YouTube partner. Okay I am going to take my sick butt back to bed.

90 Day Arch Challenge Week 2 - WezTerm

 Arlight so let's kick off week two with some updates. I have not horribly broken anything this week. That is not to say that I didn't break anything. I broke SDDM. How you might be asking. You aren't asking that but I'm going to pretend. I have no idea, but no matter what I did to try and reinstall it or fix it I never had the login screen show anything but a little bit of the password field at the top of all three display. So I installed Plasma Login. Really simple process here.  Downlaod Plasma Login Manager from yay: yay plasma-login-manager I selected the one from the CachyOS repository which for me was option 1.  I followed that with disabling SDDM sudo systemctl disable sddm.service and then enabling Plasma Login Manager sudo systemctl enable plasmalogin.service Then I did a reboot and was greeted by a shiney new login screen. Nothing Super fancy. I'm saying this a lot in this series. Thank you to Mattscreative for giving me this idea. I'll link ...

Why CachyOS Kernel?

 This was a question that was asked in the comment of this video  HERE I thought that was a fantastic question. Let's break down the main concept of what a Kernel Does. 1: Process Management -  The Kernel is a critical component to making your Operating system work. Be it windows, MacOS, Debian, Arch, or Fedora. A Kernel communicates directly with the hardware on your device. The Kernel communicates with the CPU and delegates what information that needs to be processed and in what order and for how long. Think of the kernel as kinda the mind to the brain. You see your Google Pixel Watch sitting on your desk. Your mind says I want to grab that and this is how I will grab it. Your brain then tells each muscle that the mind instructs it to move to accomplish the task. I get it that's a very layman's example, but if it works then it works. We don't need to overstress fine points that mean nothing in the simple explanations. 2: Memory Management - Just like with the communic...
