How will Arch set up?

Question

Arch Linux

Hello, Debian organized a campaign against Stallman and I, taking it as a terrible betrayal, decided to switch to Arch. I managed to put it on my computer, but there is no Internet.

I installed it mainly according to these instructions:
https://losst.ru/ustanovka-archlinux-2016#%D0%A8%D...

At the same time, I also looked into the official installation guide.
How to set up a network? It was there when it was installed.

Since Xorg also signed the petition, I decided to abandon Xs in favor of Wayland, I would like to with LXQT. How to set up such an environment?

Thank you!

PS A petition has already been launched in support of Stallman...

Answer 1

I believe that you forgot to install NetworkManager during installation and enable it. You are most likely not left without a network. Try to connect via cable by activating the DHCP daemon . What next:

pacman -S networkmanager
systemctl enable NetworkManager

Or boot from the LiveCD again, chroot and install NetworkManager.
If cable (Ethernet) is not possible, then you can use your smartphone as a USB modem.
For Wayland, again see the Arch Wiki . It describes what is supported and what can be delivered. Not sure if LXQT will rise. Directly about Wayland support is not declared (did not find it), I see an open issue , but does xs work.
GNOME works very well with Wayland, but they also fit in against Stallman, so apparently not your option ...
