SHA checked OK...signature would not as there was something wrong with the suggested command line. I dorked with it a bit but never got it to work. Installed to VirtualBox 7 as "Arch Linux (64-bit)" and Nested Paging, PAE/NX, KVM. Install crashed when I changed from manual partitioning to automatic. After restarting I left as automatic and set encrypted disk. This time the install finished. I rebooted and after a nice welcome screen automation, I saw there were 690 updates. Several packages conflicted. I choose the defaults pacman offered but in the end there were unresolvable conflicts. I'm not that good with pacman but I did play around a bit but could never get past the conflicts. I looked checked the support page on the website, but there was only a place to enter your name, email, and question. I whacked the installation. From what I saw it looked OK. And I liked the way command bar at the top worked. I would have given a higher rating if the update would have worked. Was this review helpful?

However, when I tried to add anything with pacman I kept getting keyring errors. I tried init keyring, that worked, but never got it to update, or let me add apps. Never could add anything to it, so I blew it out. So much for it being for beginners, and being user friendly? It seems to me, it was not ready for release! I'll stick with Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Fedora, and Debian 12? Everything works on them! T Was this review helpful?

Finally got it installed, beautiful implementation of the Gnome desktop, but kept freezing and crashing. Don't think it's a hardware issue because have previously installed other OS as VMWare guests on this PC (Debian, Fedora Silverblue, vanilla Arch etc.) Though to be fair, I had similar problems when I tried to install Manjaro as a VMWare guest on this machine. Not going to give up, because it looks promising, will dig out another PC and have another go. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 4 reader reviews of SDesk...
