ArcolinuxB-plasma 的使用心得

 ArcolinuxB-plasma 的使用心得

 

 ArcolinuxB-plasma  是 Arcolinux 旗下的一項產品，是一個基於 Arch Linux 的作業系統，以 KDE Plasma作為桌面環境。

 

我用過多類的 Arch Based 的 Distros，例如 Manjaro、 EndeavoueOS、 Granado、 RebornOS、 Archman Linux、 XeroLinux 和 Arcolinux 等，我個人最喜歡是 Arcolinux，其次是 EndeavoueOS。桌面環境則愛上了 KDE Plasma。

 

我經常有使用 Acestream Player 的習慣。我發覺安裝完  ArcolinuxB-plasma 後，不可以立即作系統更新 (System Update)，這樣做便安裝不了 Acestream Player (不知合故?)，一定要先安裝 Acestream Player，然後才作系統更新。我的整個安裝流程如下:

 

Download  ArcolinuxB-plasma from SourceForge :

https://sourceforge.net/projects/arcolinux-community-editions/files/plasma/

利用 Calameres 安裝  ArcolinuxB-plasma

Alternative method of Installing Acestreamplayer :

https://snapcraft.io/install/acestreamplayer/arch

You can install snap with the following:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git

cd snapd

makepkg -si

the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket

To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:

sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

wait for a while to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

sudo snap install acestreamplayer

Pacman and Yay programs are preinstalled. Pamac (Add/Remove Software) is installed with flatpak and snap support (in Preferences) so Acestreamplayer can be installed (use Add/Remove Software) and run successfully.

Discover is also preinstalled. With Discover, you can manage software from multiple sources, including your operating system's software repository, Flatpak repos, the Snap store, or even AppImages from store.kde.org.

Finally, Discover also allows you to find, install, and manage add-ons for Plasma and all your favorite KDE apps!
