Good linux distro for tinkering

Gnome 3.4 has a dependency on systemD. If you use systemD you can change the time.

Stupid I know.


For the nvidia drivers, it should be

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils

And then reboot.

Sure, but don't I still need to install the driver off the nvidia site? Or not?

I got systemd to work. This helped: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1097140#p1097140

My timezone settings are saved now but the time wont actually update :|

Strange, it works for me.

After you hit the unlock button and enter your password, you then hit the network time slider to off. Then you can manually change the time.

The nvidia-utils package is the nvidia driver

Yea I ended up doing that. It just didnt update off the network automatically.

I haven't read the whole thread but it seems you've chosen Arch?

I like Arch but only for cli/headless stuff. I can't say I've ever set up a desktop with it (I much prefer Debian & company even for headless but that's a story for another day).

Just wanted to link to this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux-ck
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Repo-ck

As something to check out if you are indeed going the Arch route. The one thing I will say about Arch is that it has a pretty nice wiki. And if you're into the whole ricer thing ABS/AUR/makepkg makes that stuff super simple to install packages you built yourself (pacman obviously being sexy as well).
