🍿Getting Started with AxOS

You now have AxOS installed, you may now wonder what you should do ?


Install needed apps

Packages can be installed using the pacman command (package manager).

To refresh the list of packages, use the command: sudo pacman -Sy

For a full update, use: sudo pacman -Syu

To install something, you can use: sudo pacman -S <app name>

You can check if your app exists with pacman here.

If an app is not provided by Pacman, you way want to use a Pacman wrapper. See here


Configurations and settings

On the Plasma Desktop, you can find an app called System settings. You will find almost every settings you are looking for.

With Calla, most system configurations should be made by command line or with an external graphical app. However, Calla provides a settings app for desktop related stuff such as colors, themes, fonts and else. Open the app by pressing the gear button at the top left of the app launcher.

With Hyprland, you can find a settings app by typing "Settings" in the app launcher or by pressing Super + i (super is the windows key).

Obviously, you can use the terminal to configure stuff in every desktops.


If you have the "invalid or corrupted packages"

This means that your pacman keyring is not initialized.

  • Initialize the keyring: sudo pacman-key --init

  • Populate archlinux keys: sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux

You can now use pacman normally.
