Another point: stick with the default flavour unless you know the difference between other flavour and default. Git is all source code for sure so will take a bit longer to compile and download. But it is more likely to work even if teh default aur one or repo one is broken. I recommend yay helper instead of pamac. Idk what pamac is lol.. I use pacman as default repo fetcher then yay for Aur.

@Ceres If you use KDE, I think you can create a system monitor wideget on the desktop to monitor it constantly. You can also install neofetch and neofetch some stats. That way you can show swap memory, system load and temperature.

Of course you can install it on a HDD but the performance will be poor. My approach would be, connect all drives, then somehow free up 30GB of space on one of the SSD. Let's call it /Dev/SDA1. So install base system and grub here. But when formatting disks, do it manually and mount root folder on Dev/SDA1/. Then, format Dev/sdc (big HDD) as ext4 as well and mount it as /home. That means your files will be stored in Dev/sdc but system program will be on Dev/SDA1. This way you get fast performance and big storage.

5 pop elephant seems like a good idea to me, because it effectively deters elephant spam. Let champion cavalry take up 2 pop instead, 3 is a bit too much. Citizen soldiers should take up 1 pop. I agree with lowering unit crush armour as that unlocks a new variable we can play with. Just give siege weapons 25x hard counter against buildings. Buildings with high armour also means no more chopping down CC with Merc cav. I don't think palisade walls should be improved. They should be nerfed. Agreed, maybe increase cost or train time.

@Ceres if you want to mount things separately it is easier to install pure arch instead :/ However, you can install EnOS anywhere, although SSD is preferred. With KDE, you can change the directory of your desktop folder to another drive if that's what you want. right click on your desktop, click configure and you will be presented with some settings.

OP = overpowered What I mean is, it saves you a lot of time and effort when installing software, because it handles the dependencies and build commands automatically.

Thanks, a good idea. Enjoy your Arch! AUR helpers are seriously OP.

I think a plausible cause is a contact problem between the USB and the PC while it is booting. It has happened to me before. Just try booting again.

Hmm the first one is very strange. Endeavour OS should only present you with graphical interface and no command line. If UEFI fails then falling back to Bios boot is a good idea. I am just not sure if you will encounter problems when you try to dual boot. If you want to dual boot, make sure you install windows 10 first, then Linux, because windows automatically overwrites everything.

@Ceres I typed up this document on how to install Arch Linux, KDE desktop and set up Arch dev environment for 0ad dev: Arch install guide.docx Please skip to step 15 if you have Endeavour OS installed already.

Ok. Endeavour OS is a good starting point. It is easier to install. However, the setup bit is the same as Arch

@Ceres Do you need me to show you how to install arch? Or can you install it by yourself, using other tutorial videos?

Yes, use rufus to flash the image is the most reliable method. Choose to write in UEFI or mbr mode (just not dd). If you do it right your USB should be named something like ARCHLINUX_2021 Then boot into UEFI mode if your PC supports it. I am making a tutorial video on how to set up arch for 0ad, please stay tuned!

Sorry man, but that is what I initially thought. Again, a poll would be informative.

Please don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the mod or Wow. I am just used to sending women to farming and wood then men to wood and mining. It has been like that for as long as I can remember (at least 3 alphas) and there is no point in making changes to the base game. I can make the two gender citizen mod a part of autociv or BoonGUI or something that is lobby compatible as well (for people who are interested), but implementing it into the base game makes sorting out models in the public folder slightly harder. It would be quite surprising for an old player when they upgrade to A27 and see the women icon in the CC gone. We can have a poll to decide whether to implement 2 gender citizens or not. Furthermore, since most soldier units are male, having half of the gatherers being male means even less females being produced and represented in your population composition. Not sure if that is a step towards or away from gender equality. To summarise, put your ideas into a lobby-compatible mod but please don't make changes to vanilla 0AD.

I make spearmen farm with women just in case there is a melee cav rush.

I do that as well, I think it is a good strategy. I guess killing male units also isn't politically correct, nor does it make the game less 'sexist'. So, to be absolutely politically correct, the units can't depict men or women, let's make them pure robots that look like Among Us characters or Pony Ascendant. (was sarcastic, please don't do that)

Tbh female players are more concerned about lobby harassment than 1 gender citizen...

Play against an Iberian AI, or on a map which offers walls by default?

This has gone a bit too far. 1. 'Female citizens' in 0ad are UnitAI + template.xml + actor.xml. They have nothing to do with real women whatsoever. So there is no sexism involved since we are dealing with purely AIs. 2. If you make 'male gatherers' , then someone could ask for 'female soldiers'. But if you implement that, you see women killed on the battlefield, then they will protest because women's rights have been violated... So these people will never be satisfied... 3. Women rush can be an effective strategy to delay your opponent. I don't see why the creator of the thread just sprays in a random criticism and never returned to check out the the mod. They have not returned since November 2020... No other female players have had this complaint, nor are the interested in installing extra mods to make the AIs more politically correct... This led me to suspect that whether this Crea is trolling...

A kernel is a sort of a bridge between hardware and software. It is the very basic core of an operating system. Xanmod is another alternative linux kernel that is better optimised than the default one. It doesn't matter too much. The idea is, if you install Arch, you can choose which kernel to install by yourself, so you won't end up with one that you don't like and spend hours compiling a new one. For other Linux distros, they give you one by default. If you like their default one, that's good, but if you don't, then you need to compile a new one and reinstall the kernel. This process is very tedious on some distros.

@Stan` Please take a look at this: The lobby is not displaying any games, so we can't join or host.

Yes https://github.com/0ad/0ad/releases

Yes, I suppose so. However, if is some extra work and you still can't get things as bleeding edge as Arch. You still can't get KDE Plasma 5.2 on Debian, but it has been available for a long time on Arch. Xanmod Kernel might be worth it but it really isn't as convenient as Endeavour OS.
