#gpg key expirations have been updated for another two-year bump. I also removed #twitter / X signature notation (I've deleted my account there), and added a bunch of other signature notations for other places I am online. It's making my #keyoxide page look dirty, but I intend to try and add support for as many of these as possible in the next few months.

Also, I updated my #tails #TailsOS installation while I was at it. I do most of my GPG key work from that environment.

@Revertron If you are interested in a #privacy and #Security #Linux distribution, I recommend #TailsLinux You can evaluated it in live mode , which is more ephemeral. There is also a persistent USB mode. Of course you can install it :)

Ladies and gentlemen: I'm stuck right here and I have no idea what to do as a newbie.

Context: After fail to try out #QubesOS in VirtualBox, and after successfully trying out #Whonix and #TailsOS via the same program, I was recommended multiple times to try out Arch Linux first. Well well well!

I experienced several issues - you can watch me talking with AI about this at https://www.perplexity.ai/search/quick-find-me-a-tutorial-how-t-PpjoXaqtSHCO5rLdGyslIw - and now I'm stuck here, at archlinux login black terminal page. I want to finally - finally!!!!!!!!!!!!! - try out Arch Linux but I am about to give up. Very easy to install, huh? And it is very annoying!!!!!!!

Help is welcome. I am mad right now at Arch.

EDIT: I also used this guide to install: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-install-arch-linux/#prerequisites-for-arch-linux

Previosuly it was #QubesOS but due to issues, now I installed instead #TailsOS !

Here I have no issues as of now :-)
