Bought the Linux meme and installed myself Manjaro KDE

Bought the Linux meme and installed myself Manjaro KDE.
Octopi is stuck at synchronising databases all the time and no packages appear in the GUI.

fuk. dis. shit.

what do?

Use vanilla arch

Screw that. Use Debian. It's a very comfy distro

Install Ubuntu or Fedora

XFCE + Manjaro is the officially supported combination by them. Try that and see how it goes.

I don't know what any of those words mean because I use a real distro

>he for {anything but Ubuntu or Debian} meme

If you don't know what you're doing, you should be using ubuntu. its babby's first linux.

If you can't into sysadmining don't use KDE. If you never confidently touched windows registries or AD, you should be using Gnome.
If you're not comfy with gnome you should install Arch with KDE as a challenge to test your sysadmin skills.

If you plan on installing arch try to manually build and install octopi via pacaur so this shit won't happen.

vanilla arch best kde

I want to unsubscribe

jesus christ dude. why manjaro for your first lignux? get on the *ubuntu or debian train. for kde distros maui linux, kde neon, and even kubuntu will all serve you better than manjaro kde. if you do want the ultimate kde experience though, you're gonna have to use opensuse tumbleweed.

install xfce, reboot, log in xfce

Just use Xubuntu

Install pamac

install gentoo

Wrong.
They officially support both KDE as well as XFCE, also Gnome kind of.

...

Install Mint. It just werks.

Get a real os

It happened to me too. Just wait for a while, it takes too much time to update the database. Now, you really should use pacman, but if you want some GUI just wait

I've been running xfce manjaro not had this problem

YAOURT my nigga is king, if you are supreme lazy get the GUI

Yaourt is the best way of running maintenance, use octopi to surf for programs

Use Pamac for the time being. Its works just Octopi. I believe you have to install thought the AUR or build from source.

Remove octopi and replace with pamac

Manjaro XFCE is practically flawless spare for the icon theme desu

>not using pacaur
literal trash tbqh

>arch based system
>KDE
>expecting things to work
Install Xubuntu

these

Install fedora you massive fucking noob

...

I want to set up my shit, not playing pacman, fuck you.

Unironically this.

>all these idiots shilling for their favorite distros

Op, just do this manually like a human being:

>sudo pacman -Syu
>y
>y

Restart your session. Done.
