I'm trying to install Arch Linux but I'm currently stuck. After running the installation commands, all I see is a wallpaper and my mouse cursor, along with the terminal. I have an i7 14th gen CPU, a 4080 Super GPU, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. I would really appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue!

You’re going to need to share more details about the installation process. Have you checked the journal logs for errors?

It sounds like you're facing a classic case of AI instructions not being enough, especially for a Linux newbie. It's best to start by reading the installation manual thoroughly as Arch isn't the easiest distro for beginners. Seriously consider using a more beginner-friendly version like Endeavor or a GUI-based one like KDE.

Did you install Hyprland, by any chance? That could be a factor here.

Hey, how experienced are you with Linux? Just curious since Arch can be tricky if you're new to it.
