Perform standard install KDE Plasma 6.1.5 on Arch Linux as KVM instance.

Looks like presence on Fedora 41 Server preinstalled KDE Plasma 6.2 Beta allows to setup Cosmic DE as second DE following https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ryanabx/cosmic-epoch... . The most recent Fedora 41 KDE Spin behaves the same way as F41 Server.

Following command $ sudo dnf5 install @kde-desktop-environment works at least in meantime for both F41 Server ( no GUI installed by default ) and F41 WKS with Gnome 47 installed by default . Syntax above is mentioned due to command $ dnf5 group list doesn't help at the moment .

Why libpamac-aur is causing trouble after upgrade to pacman 7.0 ?

Setup Arch Linux (minimal) using archinstall and the most recent ISO as of 09/01/24 along with base-devel git openssh sddm vim nano . We intend to perform both DEs installation using Paru as AUR Helper. Start with paru build . Version of ML4W was mistyped in first sumbission.

Deploy Arch COSMOS Instance via archinstall --advanced with GDM as DM. To install ml4w-hyprland-setup we intend to setup Pamac GUI in Arch Linux Cosmos environment . We may install pamac as follows . . .

This post describes in details sequence of steps proposed by Stephan Raabe in his the most recent video. Synchronizing of databases on Manjaro during setup is mentioned as well .

In general we follow http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/344680/index.html with following notice, 3D acceleration is required for KVM guest. So tune virt-manager for deployment as follows . . .

Brief description of tuning Firefox Proxy Config to work via SpoofDPI daemon been started in terminal session. Tested on Arch Linux and Fedora 40 WKS.

Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) is a stylish and user-friendly desktop environment originally developed for Deepin Linux, a distribution based on Debian. This environment is known for its sleek and modern design, which focuses on providing a clean and intuitive user experience. DDE is recognized for its polished and visually appealing interface. It incorporates a blur and transparency effect, giving it a distinct look compared to other desktop environments.

Deepin Desktop allows straightforward installation on Arch Linux. Just don't forget to configure network interface during archinstall run. It might be easily installed alongside with Gnome 46 on the same KVM Guest. You may select any available virtual disk layout in meantime. Say allocate "home" lvm for Pycharm projects.

Following below is an attempt to reproduce sample described in https://www.phoronix.com/news/Archinstall-2.8.1-Released in virtual environment . To perform the testing first of all . . . .

In particular case the original set of packages differs from Debian 12.5 and Sparky Linux 2024.05 ones : $ sudo apt install qemu-system libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils virt-manager

Procedure which brought me to success looks a bit unusual in comparison with Virt-Manager configuration for any popular Linux Flavor like Manjaro 24.1, SparkyLinux 2024.05, Suse Tumbleweed and etc. Distro KaOS 2024.05 forced me to select emulation of i440FX Chipset, otherwise it hanged right away (case PQ35). During Calamares setup folder /boot/efi was not present among classic options of well known drop down menu. See snapshots bellow

Since we released Vulcan in December 2023 we worked hard to get the next release of Manjaro out there. We call it Wynsdey. This is also our first release which comes with Plasma 6.With Plasma 6, KDE’s technology stack has undergone major upgrades: a transition to the latest version of application framework, Qt, and an improved graphics platform when Wayland is used. These changes are as smooth and unnoticeable to the users as possible.

Virt-manager still appears to be the most powerful tool in regards of deployment and managment of KVM guests. Current version in Debian SID is 1:4.1.0-4. The presence of Web Cockpit Console is also a nice way to manage KVM guest's

Original Virt-manager UEFI option setup should be configured as follows /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/OVMF_CODE_4M.qcow2 . Next step is supposed to be creating /boot/efi fat32 EFI partition during Calamares Installer virtual disk layout configuration.
