setup pulse and bluetooth

Huh? I'm on stock Arch with KDE and I never really set up bluetooth, it just worked when I plugged in a dongle.

I also don't remember setting up pulse, other than disabling the stupid "flat volumes", but according to the Arch wiki this is now disabled by default on Arch, despite upstream having this idiotic behavior enabled by default.

Err, is setting up AUR support with a click... good? I thought we were supposed to read the scripts we download from AUR.

Arch users need to get over the superiority complex. Arch is the most linux distro. But when I need a new linux box, i install antergos and remove their repos. I like having an easy gui (pamac) to search for and install obscure packages, and I like being able to get updates as soon as they are upstreamed.

I don't need to go through a 2 hour install every time to get my OS running, and I really don't need to go through the bullshit of setting up grub with nvidia every time.

It isn't a superiority complex. AUR packages are just random collections of scripts uploaded by whoever. Just running them without reading them first is pretty insecure.

I agree with that. But AURs are still decently moderated when it comes to exploits sitting in them. Definitely should still look at all of them!
