What didn't you like about it when you tried it?

IIRC, I did not like how restrictive it felt. I can't speak of the details as I don't remember enough about it.

One doesn't exclude the other

Also, you seem to not understand why you were told to focus on your country/state.

Supposedly, you know more about where you live than about countries where you never set foot in and which you are only informed about by memes and other forms of osmosis. This makes you more qualified to deal with the former than with the latter.

Supposedly, also, you have a greater ability to influence the situation in the country where you live than elsewhere (unless you join your military to invade other countries, in which case you are welcome to be rightfully punished for that).

Westerners who consider themselves to be 'anarchists' sure do tend to ignore all that and simp for their genocidal states while regurgitating said states' propaganda about how evil and barbarous all of those countries that are outside of the imperial core are.
Your beliefs are neither anti-authoritarian, nor are they rooted in international camaraderie and recognition of people from other countries as fellow human beings.

I think just because I critique an empire you like from an anarchist perspective doesn't make me an imperialist, but we can agree to disagree I suppose.

Lol. You literally think that not starting any wars in general for more than 40 years is just as bad as constantly invading the rest of the world and killing and torturing non-white people - including LGBT people.

Hell, you have come out and said that you are more aligned with the latter than with the former, so yes, it's safe to say that you are an imperialism supporter. Your 'anarchist perspective' is just 'it's good that my state kills millions abroad for my benefit'.

One doesn't exclude the other. I'm not sitting about foaming at the mouth about China all day

You have already said that you are more fine with a regime that can't exist for one second without invading somewhere and committing genocides than with a state that has provably made massive improvements in the lives of working-class people, has been at the forefront of switching the world's energy to green, which hasn't committed any genocides, and which hasn't started any wars in more than 40 years.

On the grounds I get to benefit?

You quite literally are saying that because you would personally benefit from the empire that has been committing genocide after genocide throughout its history and which has been the most prolific aggressor in the world for a while, you choose to be more aligned with it instead of with the rest of the world. You choose for your position to be an oppressor-nationalist one and anti-internationalist.

Going to quote the relevant line lest you decide to hide it later:

So the US is better off in that regard, I'd much rather live there and their government positions align more with my own and I'm anti-China and "anti-authoritarian" in that sense, but still a socialist

So are you implying that the relative freedom for queer folk in the US is a direct product of imperialist foreign policy

No, it's a consequence of LGBT community fighting for its rights, and not a consequence of your empire voluntarily giving LGBT people their rights.

Also, it wasn't too long ago when your empire was more hostile to LGBT people than the PRC is today, or other non-Imperial core states of the past. You seem to assume that it is impossible for relevant things to change.

In any case, you are a chauvinist. You will find another reason to support your empire's genocides. If it's not LGBT rights, it would somehow be women's rights. If not that, it would be some vague 'human rights'. If not those, it would be no less vague 'freedom' in general and 'freedom of speech' in specific. Those are all just excuses.

You literally support genocides of non-white people and killing and torture of LGBT people across the world on the basis that you, personally, get to benefit from your empire.

So, let me get this straight, you think that not participating in warfare for more than 40 years is just as bad as constantly invading the rest of the world, committing genocides, torture, etc. in the name of colonialism on the grounds that you get to benefit from the latter regime? And you want to be taken seriously?

Yeah, seems like you are just simping for the empire that kills and tortures non-white people en masse because you are, personally, a beneficiary of said killings and torture.

removed

Yeah, I was trying to do stuff like sudo install. I was not aware that it is used in combination with other commands like that.

I was wondering what I was doing wrong with sudo.

Try Settings > Window Management > Desktop Effects > "Windows Management" section > Overview and configure it

The problem is that there is no such option there, which is why I'm asking.

It seems that I need to install kdeplasma-addons. I will need to look into how people usually use pacman, as it keeps asking me to login as root.

Exactly

Didn't work.

Read my other comment. Maybe this is the breeze setting that does not have any way to change layout at the logging screen

This issue seems to be resolved now, but the only layouts that I can switch between are the ones I manually set in the settings of the OS after I managed to change the login screen to a different one that allowed me to input the password in English.

This is weird, considering that on the previous installation, without having to manually set multiple layouts, I was able to switch between different layouts, but only outside of the 'bad' login screen. For clarity: the 'bad' login screen currently does allow me to switch between different layouts.

Also, in case you wouldn't mind helping me with this other thing that is outside the scope of the initial complaint: where do I find the KDE cube options? It doesn't seem to be in the Window management options, nor do I see a downloadable version of the such. The KDE plasma version is 6.0.5.

It seems like VirtualBox doesn't automatic removed the iso file from the boot options. Try change this configuration at the VirtualBox and select the boot to be at the virtual driver

Not sure what you are suggesting, but it seems that the hard drive is the last active option in the boot order for that VM. I assume you are suggesting to make it the priority boot device?

At the archinstall script you must've set the root password, right?

I did, and I remember it.

At the SDDM login screen, you must press Ctrl+Alt+F3 to enter the TTY3 (a big whole full screen terminal) asking for a login. Type root, press enter and then it will ask for your password

Alright, I did that and run the command.

I still don't know how to switch between the keyboard layouts, and with this installation I opted for the US keyboard layout to be the default one, but have since added one more layout to the list. I couldn't place the keyboard layout widget for some reason, and there is no indication of what layout is chosen on the SDDM screen at all.

Right now, the user is blocked due to too many attempts to enter password, so I will have to wait.

What happened?

I don't know beyond the fact that only Grub got installed and, apparently, nothing else. Upon starting the virtual machine, I was still offered to boot into the Arch installation environment. I have run archinstall again to make an installation without Grub, and am running an installation on a clone of that virtual machine where I have opted into using Grub.

Are you familiar with the syntax of Linux commands?

Depends on what you mean. I am not a frequent CLI user in general.

Currently, I am not sure how I am supposed to login as root.

EDIT: also, Ctrl+Alt+F2 just produces a black screen. Ctrl+Alt+F1 works, but the other problem persists.

EDIT 2: I still do not know how to switch between keyboard layouts in SDDM, and I can't find information regarding that.

I did exactly the same thing yesterday and had the same issue. However I found the solution adding the keyboard layout to the X11 as well, with the command

Where do I input that command?

You must change the "br abnt2" to your keyboard layout, however

To which one? What is the format supposed to be for, for example, English, Putonghua, Norwegian, and Russian layouts?

Also, pay attention because there is a bug at the sddm login screen that doesn't show the correct keyboard layout until you start typing, so don't worry if at the beginning is "US"

The problem is that it is initially not the US English one, while the password is in English.

Apologies if I sound rude. I am currently frustrated regarding this process. Another installation failed for no discernable reason despite no errors occurring as a result of archinstall. (EDIT: Grub did get installed, but not anything else, apparently.)

EDIT: also, I still don't know how to switch keyboard layouts in SDDM.

don't tell me you didn't see this

Not the person you were responding to, but I genuinely did not. I guess I don't have the USian brain rot of constantly desiring to use the word.

Yep. For capitalists fines are just the cost of doing business. If that cost is low enough, they will break the associated laws.

Well, the main creator of the show is also, to my knowledge, a zionist and one of the protagonists is played by Tomer Capone - an IOF butcher.

'Rectangles are less than people'

So, basically nothing.

You seem to be giving a green light to invade to every NATO-aligned state, including Ukraine. But hey, prove me wrong and tell us how every state that invaded, for example, Iraq and Afghanistan should answer for their crimes.

But no, if the gang of states that keep invading everywhere around the world and killing millions are encroaching on your borders after promising to not expand towards you, you have a reason to act against them.

Also, care to tell us what makes you qualified to tell the rest of the world how it should resist you?
