This is a list of packages I installed on Arch Linux. When you install Arch Linux you get to choose whatever you want to install, though sometimes it's hard to figure out what to install, it's not always clear.I realise that I could pick better things or actually put more thought into them. I left this list here for anyone that's stumped as to what they should choose.
Here's a list of each software component and link to it's page on the Arch wiki.
BootLoader
GRUB
I tend to use it because I'm used to it. Not sure if it's the best choice. It's used by a lot of Linux distributions so if you ever need help with it it's quick to fix.
Network Interface Software
NetworkManager
I mostly use NetworkManager because I used it on other linux distibutions. So why fix what's broken?
Display Manager
LightDM
Another one I'm just used to it so I use it.
Desktop Environment/wm
Xfce
I like Xfce because it's lightweight and easy to use.
