Arch/Linux problems and solutions that I've dug up.
0. Problem: solution.
1. Can't boot, efibootmgr doesn't see root drive: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#efibootmgr
2. Fresh install, can't ping: I updated resolv.conf with the contents of the laptop's resolv.conf (idk if that did anything), then I ran "dhcpcd eno1" (ethernet device) after which I could ping.
3. Can't load $DISPLAY or Light Display Manager: install driver https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Driver_installation, install lightdm-gtk-greeter, install xorg, install xterm, uh that might have been all?
4. Firefox only uses half the window in i3: enable privacy.resistFingerprinting.
5. No audio with pulsemixer: lol pulsemixer was muted, press M.
6. Can't scroll by clicking middle mouse in Firefox: general.AutoScroll = true.
7. Font aliases changed: I made a .config/fontconfig/fonts.conf but it did nothing on its own. I then installed ttf-dejavu and all is fine.
8. makepkg cannot find the strip binary: install base-devel.
9. Special characters are boxes
